Personally, this is not necessarily bad, but I don’t like that. It is hard to remove. I personally prefer cream cleansers where you can just rinse it off not things that require a washcloth. To be clear, this doesn’t require a washcloth, but it does require a longer amount of time than most cleansers for me to remove all of the product and usually when I am washing my face at night. I am tired and not interested in this laborious process.
I am also acne prone and I have noticed I have a little bit more acne. I use retinol because I have dry sensitive skin so I would rather use the retinol to get rid of acne, then have a harsh cleanser, but I do believe that there are cleansers that can do that it all. for people with severe acne, I would recommend this only as a first cleanse.
