I over-exfoliated my face and had a slight outbreak on my face. I had to cut down to just washing, toning, and moisturizing my face. This face wash was my life saver, as this face wash calmed my face down and kept it hydrated after washing. It didn't dry out my face like the dokdo face cleanser, but it foams up just like the dokdo cleanser. The redness on my face greatly decreased over two days of washing my face in the morning and night, and my outbreak is already disappearing after a week.
