In the past year I have started to suffer from bouts of subtype 2 rosacea, which creates acne looking bumps on my face that tend to be very red and become flakey and dry. Being that there is no cure for this ailment, I had given up on ever having clear skin again. UNTIL I tried this cleanser. It helps clear the bumps and it even diminishes the redness that rosacea causes. It has seriously given me my confidence back! I couldn't live without this cleanser. Works really well with the aha ceramide moisturizer.

great product!
first MB product I've tried and I'm loving it. Super gentle on my hyper-sensitive skin. I get contact dermatitis from just about anything and this is the only thing that seems to not be too harsh or strip my skin. I'm usually pretty oily (sensitive and oily, worst combination!!!) but it doesn't make me oily at all, if anything it takes some of the oilyness away. Leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
I will say that if you're looking for something that makes your face feel tight and "clean" this isn't the right cleanser for you, this is something really gentle that will moisturize your skin just enough while cleaning your skin. Not for those looking for a cleanser to remove their makeup.

Gentle cleanser
I get very nervous trying new skin care for my extremely sensitive and reactive skin but I needed something new. I have dry, sensitive skin with occasional hormonal blemishes. After reading such positive reviews on Nordies website, and other review sites, I thought Mario's products seem gentle enough to try. I bought this cleanser along with the Aloe toner and Kera moisturizer. This cleanser is concentrated so you don't need much, about a dime to nickel size, to clean your face. This does not remove waterproof eye makeup, nor does the enzyme cleanser that I recently tried as well, but it does clean my skin well without drying or leaving any residue. It just feels clean without stripping. My skin has not reacted negatively after two weeks of use. Red marks that I did have seem to have faded. I will continue to use if I continue to have good luck with it.

Awesome
This product is amazing. I do not have couperose or rosacea. I picked the Kera line because I have very sensitive skin and did not want to spend the money on products that would do more harm than good.
This is very gentle and cleans my skin very well. Due to my pale, sensitive skin, my face gets red...this helps with the redness and calms it. It pretty much does exactly what they claim. My only con is that there are parabens in it (so -1 star for that).

So far so good
I have been using this cleanser for a week now and I like it so far. It's very gentle and it does initially seem to soothe and reduce the redness in your face. It def does not strip the skin and leaves skin feeling smooth. I have very sensitive skin and this has not caused any irritation so far. Will definitely be repurchasing.
