I love that the cleanser can be used as a mask too. Does your skin feel tight after using it? This starter kit is an excellent price too!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a wonderful multipurpose cleanser/mask, Cindy! I actually don't experience any dryness afterward. There are enough soothing and hydrating ingredients that I don't feel dried out from the AHA. The starter kit is definitely an excellent value! I had never tried this brand before, and I am quite impressed by these three products!
