I really enjoyed how my skin felt after using this cleanser. It's almost as if the clay like texture of the cleanser is absorbed. I have a normal/dry skin and my skin felt very moisturized. As the cleanser involves forming a paste in the palm of your hand with a bit of water I find it easier to use in front of a mirror in the bathroom (in the shower I have ended up with the clay all over :))in order to maximize in massaging the clay paste on my face. As the lavender and rose oils also soothes and helps with redness I will continue to use it as an in-between alternative to my normal daily cleanser.
