What it says in the box:

♦ Gently removes dirt and impurities that block the skin pores
♦Has moisturizers that help prevent skin dryness
♦Soap-free
♦pH-balanced

My View:I was skeptical about this particular line because Celeteque is known to be gentle to the skin. Gentle cleansing for my skin means not combating signs of aging, even break outs which is a great deal for my combination skin. I bought this because I ran out of facial wash already and this was really decently priced – a plus factor when I’m buying anything under the sun.

I also bought the Alcohol-Free toner (please see also my review for it) just in case this wash won’t clean my face thoroughly. This is an okay product for me because like I said this is gentle. It didn’t dry my cheeks but it didn’t dry out my break outs in my forehead either. So I’m left with cleansed skin – still with break outs.

Pros:
has Chamomile Extract to calm the skin
hypoallergenic, non comedogenic, soap-free
good for people with sensitive skin since it’s non- drying

Cons:
you might need a toner to lift out excess dirt since it won’t deliver a sqeaky clean feeling
