It foams nicely and cleanses thoroughly. It has a dark yellow gel texture and doesn’t strip my skin. Only a little amount is needed to foam the cleanser so it lasts a while. It does contain lactic acid so it might not be optimal for everyday day use with products that have actives such as AHA, BHA, vitamin C or even retinoids. Even though it has some citrus essential oil, it didn’t irritate my skin! And the scent is similar to Biossance’s gentle cleanser.
