The exfoliation in this cleanser is so subtle but it really does seem to get off my makeup, residue or buildup while leaving my face feeling smooth and refreshed. A bit pricier than my usual cleanser but I think between buying both a cleanser and exfoliant, this is a nice way to get both products in one. 

I've only had this product for 3 days and so far so good. Another person mentioned it smells like Grapefruit. I would have to agree. The smell is refreshing but could be strong for some. I never feel dry after unsung it which my mature skin loves. The only real negative for me is this cleasner feels more like lotion and I typically prefer gel cleasers.

I have used cleansers from many major brands (Skin Ceuticals, Obagi, Alastin, etc), and this one is by FAR my favorite. I have dry skin, and this cleanses without drying and gently exfoliates. I use it as a second step after a balm cleanser (Eve Lom) and the combination has been a game changer for my skin. I will use a heavier exfoliator once every 2 weeks,  but this is gentle for everyday use. Also the scent is pleasant without being overpowering, if that matters to you. 

There are no exfoliation crystals in this, just lotion

Hands down absolutely love this from the coverage to the glow! 

Been using this product for about 5 months, it’s really helped to change my skin care game!

I'm 61, fair skinned, and I haven't worn makeup (other than mascara) for 35+ years - so I don't have to cleanse heavily, but I do get moisturizer buildup and environmental buildup. I use HydroPeptide toner and moisturizer but I had been purchasing it elsewhere - I didn't realize that HydroPeptide also carried an exfoliating cleanser, so I was very excited when I found it on Dermstore! What I LOVE about HydroPeptide Exfoliating Cleanser is that not only are the exfoliating particles not to rough, the cleanser itself is lovely, it smells like grapefruit to me - so fresh, and my skin feels smooth, fresh, clean. I use it once day or sometimes every other day (depending on how my skin feels). It takes very little to get a full foaming lather - which makes this very cost effective for me. I've tried quite a few exfoliating cleansers over the years, and this by far suits me the best.

stumbled upon this cleanser as dermstore sent me a small sample with one of my previous orders. Love, love, love this cleanser! Has become my holy grail cleanser, I even subscribed to get the product every couple months. I have pretty oily skin and works well

I have problems with milia on my face so I have to be very cautious on what I use and this is the best face wash! It is gentle and I see such an improvement in my milia!

This was exactly the exfoliating wash I've been looking for. I got a sample in an order I placed. The first night I washed my face with it, I couldn't stop touching my soft skin! I was sold. It's light enough that I can use it every day. It has a lively citrus scent as well that is pleasant and not overpowering.
