Usually, i am a sceptic of face washes, I bought this one from Amazon samples for my uncle. I tried outta curiosity and it turned out to be the best of face washes on my list right after Vicco turmeric foam wash. Don know if fights pimples but it certainly does give a chill cooling effect and sucks up all the oiliness. If u do not want a dry skin after washes then you shouldn't try this. Since I like facewashes which don't make the skin greasy and oily I love it yet I do not use it every day. When I feel the face is too oily and dull I use it to get rid of the oiliness.
