This facial wash is so much more than just a facial wash. It is a toner and an exfoliater as well. My pores and blemishes looked and felt better after the first wash! I was quite pleased. I also like the gel consitency as it doesn't get in my hair like some cream washes do. Worth the $29 price. My only wish is that the bottle was glass instead of plastic but the pump is wonderful as I hate tubes I have to squeeze product out of.
