It is amazing how many reviews I have seen of this product and how all of them had the same results with this product. And I am no exception. This gel cleanser does its works just as it promises: gently. It leaves the skin clean and without the dry feeling that many cleansers do. THe pH of this product is recommended for every skin type as it is perfect for healthy skin. Despite this, I could not really see the tighting effect on pores that it promised.
