Comes out as a light green, thick paste and has a very dense lather. Has a subtle earthy scent. Upon lathering, it feels very creamy and cloudy. I only use this in the AM since I double-cleanse at night and I think that using this would dry out my skin further. Since this is a wash-off product I don't expect it to have immediate, noticeable, significant effects. Additionally, betaine salicylate (a BHA derivative) is farther on the ingredient list which specifies that it is at a very low concentration.
Unfortunately when rinsing off this has a stripping, squeaky-clean feel on me which I don't like. I think utilizing gentler surfactants would have been better. I managed to at least decrease that stripping feel when I only wash my face for <30sec.
