I liked the smell of the gel. It smells vaguely like a herb, plant, outside and maybe a little like weeds, but all in a good clean and natural way. It did not feel like the product cleaned my skin. If I used a little bit of gel, my skin still felt oily after cleaning. Using a lot of gel improved the situation, and then my skin felt clean. But I mean using quite a lot, about double the amount of gel I normally use. I do not have a particularly oily skin, and found it weird that a product meant for oily skin would leave my skin feeling oily. On the plus side, it definitely did not leave my skin dried out or feeling stiff. Some of the reviews I saw for this mentioned that this product was great for sensitive skin and people prone to breakouts. Since I am neither, I could probably wash my skin with dishwashing liquid and not get a reaction, I am not the person to speak to that.
It was hard to find a price or even a supplier in South Africa. I got the one I used at Red Square, but I am not sure whether they still sell it. I do not have the price, but it was not cheap. In the US, it sells for $32, thus more than say R250 here.

I've really endjoyed using this cleanser over the past few months.

Highs: Its clean i.e. no petrochemicals, no parabens, no sulphates, no glycols etc Just pure organically grown ingriedients with a natural fragrance. Cleanses effectively, removing all traces of makeup without stripping the skin and leaving it tight and dry. Doesn't foam as it doesnt contain sodium laureal sulfate. Even though I have dry skin at the moment, this didn't make it worse.

Lows: There are no lows except maybe the price. It retails for aroun R320 for 100ml.
