good night cleanser !!...i wouldn’t recommend as a morning and night cleanser, i only use this at night. i use origins frothy face wash during the day because it’s lighter. this helps clear my pores and makes them perfect for the next day without stripping the skin. it’s a little more harsh than the usual cleanser which is why i don’t use this morning and night, but it’s such an amazing product! ...Of all the Origins skincare products I own, this is my least favorite, especially cleansers. Nothing special but a decent product for a simple and fast wash in the morning.
