"I got this product for my 2 teenage sons when they started to develop acne. I use Dermalogica products myself so naturally this was a go to for me to help their skin. One has very dry skin and the other likely but both have acne breakouts. This product has helped so much with prevention of their breakouts! They do not have nearly as much trouble. It also works in both their skin types. Thank you Dermalogica! Another win!"

"They changed the formula, I have been using this cleanser past 2 years. I just recently got a new bottle, and within the first wash I noticed a color difference from my old one. My skin definitely reacting to it, so disappointing because this was my favorite cleanser because it worked great, I don’t know how they could just up and change the formula knowing people skin is going to react. An almost $80 dollar bottle"
