As of now, I shall rate it 4 because to be fair I just started using it and I haven't experienced a lot of drastic changes to my skin but what I can let you know is that it doesn't make my face dry! This is an honest review with key factors on ingredients that I will bring up. But I just like to mention, that the product is pretty high quality and hence reasonable for the price, I am in love with the pump and design of the bottle, convenient and aesthetically pleasing!!
Firstly, it's organic, vegan, and cruelty-free with no sulfates and parabens. So already there are many plus points. The terms' definitions:
Sulfates = Usually strip away too much moisture and are more abrasive and irritating to the skin. Parabens = A synthetic preservation to extend shelf life BUT is linked to cancer and disrupts the hormonal balance.
I must say the smell is wonderful and they don't use any artificial fragrances! It has flower and dandelion root extract, and I can tell just from this smell it really is a healthy product. It has natural antibacterial ingredients that help with the removal of oil (or excessive sebum) and reduces inflammation, especially of acne with salicylic acid and manuka oil!! All of this is not too abrasive and promotes healthy and clean skin without all the nonsensical chemicals!
Straight and forward but honest review, I think you guys should just give it a try at least once. It's a beneficial product which I would recommend for those with sensitive, oily or combination skin. It has that similar tea tree oil smell with white willow and dandelion as part of the ingredients which may have contributed to that natural and refreshing smell! <3
