Normally I steer well clear of cheaper cleansers: my experience has been that they are far too drying, even on my combination skin. I remember once going for a weekend away and using my partner's cleanser (he's a proper man's man, so the fact he even uses something you could call a cleanser is a miracle). In the space of just two or three days my skin was tight, dry and flaky. Bleah.
So I was prepared to use this a couple of times and then discard the sachet.
But I've been really pleasantly surprised. No dry skin and I actually really like this cleanser. It's a gel which foams up, it's lightly scented (the scent is quite feminine though - think watermelon with floral notes ... might not really work for manly men!), and it washes off easily.
My skin has been left feeling clean, no squeakiness, and after about a week of using it - no dryness. I'm seriously tempted to buy this when I'm next in the market for a cleanser (I have a LOT of samples hanging around!).
Widely available. RRP ~ $11.
