Not effective at all. I was suggested to use this cor my pimples. And after use it for about 1-2 months I still haven’t seen any improvement on my face. It doesn’t even controls the oil secretion of oily faces. Well, only having a good fragrance doesn’t makes anything useful. I desperately needed a solution for my pimples. And this one is NOT the solution for pimples. With this facewash I also had taken measures to drink enough water daily. But all in vain. For oily faces, after about 1 hour of applying you’ll see you face being oily once again. So this one is a total waste of your money. It just removes dirt, and have no side effect, with a good fragrance.
