Pros
The fragrance is nice. It seems to have the signature Aveda scent that I like.
Cons
Is there something wrong with my skin? ㅠㅜ After using it, my skin becomes completely dry. I also don't really like the tight and slippery feeling on my skin after using it ㅠㅜ That's why I'm using it as a hand wash now - the cleansing power is good, but my skin feels tighter and drier than when I use regular soap ㅠㅜ My hands are already quite dry, so... ㅠㅜ I do like Aveda, but this product just doesn't seem to work for me.

Pros
My skin is sensitive, so if I use something that doesn't suit me, it immediately reacts. But this cleanser really worked well for me. It's gentle, and there's no tightness after washing, which I really liked. The scent is also not unpleasant, and I think I used it very well!
Cons
The only downside is that it's too slippery, so you have to wash it several times. Other than that, everything was fine.

Pros
I only use Abedam products and the lather is just right, and the scent is nice.
Cons
I'm not sure how it would work for someone with acne, as there seems to be some residual slipperiness.

Pros
It has a nice scent and is not greasy, so it feels clean! I have oily skin, so if I use the wrong cleansing product, it can clog my pores and cause breakouts, but this one doesn't do that.
Cons
At first, it felt a bit slippery, which made me a little hesitant to use it.
Tip
If you work up enough lather, it won't feel slippery.

Pros
While there is no crisp, refreshing sensation, it is not overly dry and very good. If you dislike the slippery feeling, gently scrubbing with a loofah while rinsing will make the slipperiness disappear.
Cons
Even though I am a mature adult, the slippery feeling is a downside.
Tip
Using a loofah together is recommended.

Pros
The cleansing power is a bit weak for removing makeup, so I'm currently using it as a secondary or morning cleanser. But even after washing, it leaves my skin feeling sufficiently moisturized and not dry at all!! The scent is also natural and pleasant, so those who enjoy such fragrances will likely appreciate it.
Cons
Hmm, the cleansing power is a bit weak, so it's difficult to use as a primary cleanser. The finish also feels a bit slippery, so I may need to do an additional cleansing step...
Tip
It's better to use this as a secondary or morning cleanser rather than a primary one. And after washing, don't dry your face with a towel - just let your hands absorb the water, and your skin will feel much more moisturized.

Pros
It certainly gives a mild feeling, and personally I think the scent is also good.. After cleansing, my face doesn't feel tight.
Cons
I guess you could say it's slippery.. During cleansing, there isn't a lot of lather, so I sometimes have a hard time feeling like my face is being properly cleansed.
Tip
I only use it in the morning (I use a different product for evening cleansing) and at that time, just pressing it about 2 times is enough. If you warm your hands with hot water before using it, you'll get a bit more lather and feel more refreshed after cleansing.

Pros
I have a combination dry skin type and I'm really enjoying using this cleanser! There's no tightness after washing, and it's just so good. Plus, even though I have a combination dry skin type with oily T-zone areas, this cleanser doesn't cause any tightness at all! It's very gentle, the scent isn't bad, and I think I'm using it really well.
Cons
The only downside I'd say is that it feels a bit slippery, so it's a bit of a hassle to rinse off. Other than that, I don't think there's anything else I dislike about it. Since I'm still using it, I may discover more things later on.
Tip
Hmm... I don't have any groundbreaking tips, but for those of you with sensitive, atopic, combination dry skin like mine, I recommend using the Aveda rich cream along with this cleanser! That way, it won't dry you out and won't cause any flaking. Ooh, and at the department store, there are two types of Aveda creams - a lighter one and a richer one, so I'd recommend testing them out and choosing the one that works best for you!

Pros
Although my skin is combination-type and not overly sensitive, it tends to get a bit unbalanced with the changing seasons. However, I don't experience it too severely, so I prefer to use gentle skincare products, which is why I use a lot of Aveda products. They leave my skin feeling moisturized and smooth, almost like my pores have been refined. In the evenings, I cleanse my face, and the next morning, I just use water to cleanse - and I feel like my skin has just gotten better? Maybe it's just my imagination, haha.
Cons
First of all, the Aveda gel cleanser doesn't really lather up much, and even after cleansing, my skin still feels a bit slippery. The foam doesn't really build up much, so I end up double-cleansing because I feel like it's not cleaning my skin thoroughly enough. Even though Aveda is known for being a natural brand and gentle, when I looked at the ingredients, I was a bit shocked. This makes me reconsider repurchasing it...
