ProsThis is the cleansing product I've been using with confidence for years, even though I have extremely sensitive skin.
My cheeks are dry (dry in winter, dry in summer), my forehead is normal (normal in winter, oily in summer), and my nose is oily - I have a sensitive, combination complexion.
I've tried all the cleansers that people recommend, but I could never shake the feeling of my cheeks feeling tight or my pores feeling overly dry. But with this Appa Soap, I don't have that issue at all, and I've been using it for about 4 years now.
๐Pros๐
๐Even someone as extremely sensitive as me can use it without issue.
(When I tried switching to a different cleanser, I suddenly got a bunch of small pimples on the center of my forehead. But when I went back to using the Appa Soap, those pimples disappeared within 3 days!)
I think the biggest pro is that it's such a gentle cleanser. I've tried all the popular cleansers out there, but the Appa Soap is still the best for me.
Cons๐
It has a sort of grainy, cereal-like scent, which I've gotten used to after using it for so long, but it was a bit off-putting at first. Those sensitive to fragrance may find it irritating.
๐
It doesn't lather up very well. But using a cleansing brush helps with that.
TipI can't use this to remove my full makeup, so I first use a gentler cleansing milk to take off my makeup, and then do a second cleanse with this. That works great for me:)
