When I got this cleanser I didn't think I'd like it. It feels oily and I tend to prefer scrubs and foaming cleansers, however my skin has become very sensitive as I've gotten older so i tried this after researching. It is surprisingly lovely, my skin feels clean and matte afterwards and it controls the excess oil! 100% would recommend this product to others. I have nodular-cystic acne and oily/combination skin, it's improved greatly. I'm very impressed! Recommends this product ✔ Yes 15 days usage. Before and After.

Okay so I may be crazy but when I use this it has the ever faintest smell of a light glazed donut, and I really like that. It's a natural smell, and is barely there and I may just be weird. So when I first got this, I was stupid and didn't like it cuz I was using it wrong and used water, it wasn't until I read the reviews and a video on YouTube how to properly use it dry. After that it was so nice and felt good. I'm used to using cleansers and immediately needing to go put on something moisturizing because my face starts to feel dry and tight but surprisingly it's not anything to that extent. It is a bit drying, and I'm trying to go a few minutes before putting on the next step to see if I got that feeling. I have combination skin but pretty dry during the fall, winter seasons. I don't feel like it's doing much as far as helping any skin concerns, but it is very calming and clean, good for my sensitive skin. Now about how much you get for the 50 ml....I was honestly worried when I pulled it out of the box because it honestly felt really empty and I had to shake it quite a lot for something to come out. For the price I paid it is what it is, but I do plan on buying the 150 ml one as soon as I can because I really like the faint smell and the light balminess of the product, it's so light and soft, not heavy and silky. It's much, much lighter than an actual cleansing balm you'd get in a jar like Banila Co's clean it zero or Byoma's melting balm cleanser. It's not heavy enough to take off hardcore makeup, but maybe something light? But I just use it when I wake up and have no makeup on, and it's soothing. I will probably pair this with something as a double cleanser, especially during my time of the month that needs something a bit more stronger. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

This was my first time using a face cleanser that you had to warm up in your hands and apply to dry skin. I LOVE IT. It does dry me out a little bit so I wait a few before doing my next steps, but I love it. I suffer from combo skin and congestion in my t zone. I feel so clean after using it and I feel like the oil spreading over my face picks up dirt better than anything I’ve ever used. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

Love using this when I need to take my makeup off or if I need to wash my face more than twice a day. It does not dry me out and I actually live the texture Recommends this product ✔ Yes

I’m not sure if I’m using it wrong, but it never really felt like it cleaned my face. I always had to scrub with a face cloth to get my face to feel clean after using this. But scrubbing irritates me face. After a few months of using this (along with the anhydrous salicylic acid) I noticed more inflamed breakouts and congestion such as blackheads and whiteheads. I followed directions. Used it on a dry face. Rubbed the cleanser between my hands before applying. I would rub the cleaner until it became clear in colour, but after reading more reviews here, I wonder if I didn’t rub the cleanser in my hands enough. Recently I started using it again and I am rubbing it more vigorously between my hands first. I do notice that the cleanser feels oilier the more I rub, and the oilier I feels before applying, the better it seems to cleanse my face. I’ll update my review if it doesn’t break me out with this time.

Excessive Oiliness

40-49

Light/Medium

Disclaimer I have always used face wash or foaming cleanser as I like my skin to feel clean. I'm new to anything oily and frankly I don't get this at all! I massage it in and then rinse off but my hands and face are still coated with oil. It might remove make up but my face it now very oily so to remove that I need an emulsifying face wash to remove that which adds an unnecessary step. What a shame. I don't get how people love this so much. I wish they'd make a proper face wash! Recommends this product ✘

So I bought this cleanser and have been using it RELIGIOUSLY because I know that consistency is key with skin care… my skin feels amazing after I use it but I’m finding that not even halfway through the day my skin looks like I have gone my entire life without washing it. My skin will look SO OILY and greasy. Perhaps the ordinary can give me some tips or offer a different product to use instead… I’ll walk into the bathroom halfway through my day and feel so embarrassed about how oily my skin looks… a problem I did not have before switching to products from the ordinary. I don’t want to give up hope though so I’m pushing through… Recommends this product ✘

Breakouts/Acne

I bought this a few weeks ago along with the moisturizer, matrixyl and niacinamide as my skin is acne prone. I normally used a Garnier cleanser which is cheap and simple and does tge trick but I felt like spoiling myself with some ‘luxury’ products and take my skincare to the next level. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY BREAKOUTS IN MY LIFE! The so called cleanser clogged my pores and is oily to the point you could almost use it for deep frying chips. Recommends this product ✘
