I'm 40 years old, and after having severe acne in my teens and early 20s, I now have the world's weirdest combination skin. In the winter, my face is so dry I use straight shea butter as moisturizer. In the summer, it's oily, and I still get random breakouts. I've tried all kinds of facial cleansers over the years, and find that the ones that combat my oily summer skin usually leave my face feeling dry and taut. This is the only one that cleanses without excessive drying. I use it in the morning and again at night, then apply shea butter as an overnight moisturizer. It works great, prevents breakouts, and smells really good. I love Desert Essence products -- I also use their Dry by Nature deodorant, which is the only natural deodorant that works for me. I'm a customer for life!
