The Mary Kay time wise 3 in 1 cleanser has a gel like consistency with a light but effective exfoliant. As soon as you put in on your skin you can feel the softness. With a little water the cleanser lightly foams up and is easily rinsed off leaving your skin soft, exfoliated, refreshed and hydrated. I alternate this cleanser with others when I know my skin doesn’t need such a strong exfoliant.
