My overall experience/comments on the product:

I agree with the study mentioned above - this leaves my skin feeling clean yet soft without being stripped. I love the way my skin feels after I use this and it reminds me of my beloved Juju Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Washing Foam. But at $75 this is just ridiculously expensive for a product that isn't spending much time on my face and ends up going down the sink. I will say that I read an article once that said it technically doesn't matter which cleanser you use because you rinse it off fairly quickly but I disagree because some, like this, can leave your skin feeling replenished whilst others can be too dry and/or harsh.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
