This face wash has a creamy consistency and pearlescent-like sheen to it. It has a mild scent that isn't offensive or overpowering.

But this gel wash doesn't foam at all and even after washing your face with it 4 times you haven't even cleaned any makeup off at all. It didn't cause any breakouts, but I wouldn't say it made my skin any better.

The 'tagline' is "cleanses your skin right down to the pores". This is very far-fetched as my face feels dirty and still full of makeup after washing with this a few times.

I am a bit disappointed as I do love Essence and I love the facial wipes from the same range. But I would recommend that you give this one a skip.
