So this is certainly a step up from your standard supermarket foaming cleanser. It's not as damaging, and it's not full of colours of perfumes, but it still contains SLS. this is a great product for removing makeup, great for eyes and powers through foundation, but I still found it left my skin quite tight, I'd use the Dermalogica Multiactive toner and then the active moist, but my skin still felt really thirsty. It was better when I switched the their sensitive cleanser. i just found this really dried out my skin and mad it really uncomfortable. I never reacted and it didn't make me break out or redden my skin like a lot of other cleansers, but I just found it very stripping. Too much so for my skin. On the plus size, the bottle is massive, and you only use a tiny bit so it's certainly economical. I think this would be okay if you have very normal skin, but if you're oily like me, this will dehydrate and make you oilier.

Tips: I think gentler products usually do the trick just as well but without the dehydration issues. If a cleanser ever makes you feel tight, get something gentler without the SLS
I thought it was just a horrible coincidence that my skin broke out like crazy after using this, but my friend has just recently started using Special Cleansing Gel too and she's broken out just like me and in the exact same place.
I guess it did what it said it would, it cleansed my face, but my skin didn't react very well to it.
I used it once the other day while at a friends place, as I just needed to get my makeup off, and I really noticed the sensitivity and redness after I used it.
I personally won't be using this product again.
I had high hopes for this cleanser, and was a bit disappointed, my skin got really red and angry after using it a couple of times. I found it hard to feed moisture back it and my skin seemed to have peeling patches due to being over dry.
Tips: Lather in your hands before putting on the skin, it needs to be activated first.
