So. I've been using this product for a bit now. I was having skin barrier problems pretty bad especially after the fall/winter. Super damaged, red, itchy, acne, some dryness and all. I was a mess and super depressed over how me and my skin were looking. I was using a foam facewash since my skin is normally very oil but also very sensitive to many products. I can't use most skincare products because of this. Never had issues with products I normally used for years till I figured out months later it was my skin barrier. Switching to a gel facewash was the best decision I've made and im going to keep on doing it. My skin has started to clear up, its more hydrated looking and not as oily throughout the day too. I also have rosacea and has helped my redness and bit of itchiness I sometimes get as well. I have super sensitive skin as well and had no bad reaction towards this product. I really never thought of using a gel face wash since I thought it would make my skin oilier, but it actually did the opposite at least for me. For me it took around a week for my skin to start looking 10x better and I was super surprised since very soon my BF is coming down to visit for the week. I will definitely keep on using this facewash well after my skin barrier is healed. It also works very well for the body and makes my skin super soft and hydrated!!Things I also did + Tips that are helping me heal my skin barrier:I'm also using the First Aid Beauty Hydrating dewy gel cream as well that has Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides which also helps on healing a damaged skin barrier. I just putting on damp clean skin after im done washing my face. Hyaluronic Acid works best applied to wet clean skin. Also make sure to wash your face with luke warm water and not hot along with being very gentle so no hard water from the shower if your sensitive like me with your skin type. Make sure to keep skincare simple as well to if you're healing your skin barrier only a gentle facewash and moisturizer with ceramides + if you can HA in it as well. Foam face washes don't work well healing the skin barrier since they just dry out the skin and take away all the natural oils your skin needs to heal. I did also for one night did slugging to lock in the moisture on my face using 100% pure petroleum jelly. Its were you wash your face, apply moisturizer then after a bit applying a thin layer of Vaseline to the face to lock in the moisturizer so that your skin starts healing. (I only did this for one night then washed it off the next day. It helped me a lot but its defiantly not for everyone so take caution and do research before trying it on your skin)Note: Make sure to always patch test a product. Not everything is made for everyone's skin mattering on your skin type.

Perfect for: Sensitive, reactive, or dry skin types.What I loved:✅ Gentle formula: Free from fragrance, parabens, and sulfates, it’s incredibly soothing for irritated or sensitive skin.✅ Light texture: The gel-like consistency feels refreshing and doesn’t leave any residue.✅ Effective yet mild cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and light makeup without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.✅ Dermatologist-recommended: With oat and calming ingredients, it’s perfect for keeping skin balanced and hydrated.Things to consider:⚠️ It might not fully remove heavy makeup, so you may need a separate makeup remover.⚠️ The bottle pump can sometimes dispense more product than needed.

This is a good gentle face cleanser for those with sensitive skin. However, I don't feel like it cleanses the skin very deeply. I typically use a stronger cleanser once a week and use this the other six days out of the week. I don't feel like this would be an ideal cleanser to remove heavy make up and sun screen. It works for me because I don't wear makeup most of the time.

Calms skin after just a couple of days. Have really dry skin and over 65 aging. I have had patches of rough skin around mouth and under cheek bones. I am happy with the way it is gentle enough to not irritate skin further but does appear to be softening so far. Only have been using for a couple days so hope it continues to help.
