I've had a bunch of samples of this cleanser and really liked it. Only need the tiniest amount to get a good lather, cleanse. I use it with an exfoliating glove, only when I use it in the shower. I didnt notice the fishy smell others have mentioned but maybe its stronger in the tube vs the sample sachets. I'll find out as I'm buying the full size. I have pretty normal skin, can get a little oily in the t zone in the summer heat, but otherwise my skin is normal. I found this didn't dry my skin out and left it feeling refreshingly clean. A really good cleanser.
