This is a gentle cleanser. My face is sensitive to almost all cleansers; most of them leave my face feeling very dry and tight since all the moisture was stripped from my face. This cleanser doesn't do that; I don't feel dry afterwards but not moisturised either, more like something in between like normal skin. It doesn't sting and didn't leave a burning sensation after washing off. The only thing is that it smells really strongly of tea tree but it goes away quickly.
