TL;DR — Reddit consensus
A low-pH gel cleanser that cleared acne without stripping moisture. One user developed new breakouts and texture after a month of use.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.5 from 20,680 reviews — that's roughly 88% positive.
On Reddit: 52% of 23 redditors recommend it.
The gap of 35 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.
