Hada Labo Aha/Bha Exfoliating Face Wash

This actually worked for me and I've used many tubes. I like the after wash feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed. The foamy texture is soft and easy to rinse. However, I don't feel that it is exfoliating. I usually grab them on 1 for 1 promotion to maximize my money.

Tight and dry skin after use, my blackheads are still there, and after a few days my blackheads increased. Sad to say, not recommended.

super drying and stripping irritated my skin a lot

A little goes a long way!

This cleanser is the most effective cleanser, without feeling like the skin on my face has 1 layer being forcefully stripped away (unlike G-anier).

For the price you pay, a small amount really does go a long way. I bought a Mary Kay rotating brush for deeper cleansing of my face, and that's my daily treat after a hard day's work. =)

It also works as a makeup remover, and because I am a fervent believer in cleansers being makeup removers, this product will also be an essential to me.
