So gentle on my skin and yet quite effective ,no wonder I'm in love with Nivea. It doesn't dry my skin out in fact it leaves it feeling quite soft and smooth . One glitch though is that if you're using heavy make up this won't get all out so I use it when I have less make up to wash off. The little beads in the wash have somewhat of an exfoliating effect . Smells lovely and all in all a good product .
