Reviews

Pros

  • Often described as very gentle, with the brand noting it carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance
  • Free of botanical extracts, essential oils, and fragrance per the official ingredient list, which some fragrance-sensitive users report appreciating
  • May suit those with dry or reactive skin, per brand and retailer descriptions, since it is soap-free and non-comedogenic

Cons

  • Some users report the minimal, non-foaming formula feels less "cleansing" than sulfate-based washes
  • Contains 1,2-Hexanediol as a preservative system, which a small subset of highly sensitized users have reported reacting to in online discussions
  • Marketed primarily around gentleness rather than active treatment benefits, so it may not suit those seeking exfoliating or brightening effects
