pleasant scent very gentle not all that effective for cleaning [SEP] there are a number of positive features of this face wash i love the scent it is a light fresh scent that is sort of floral and sort of botanical normally i prefer unscented or something that just smells soapy but this light scent is quite enjoyable it is a thick cream that resembles a moisturizer more so than a soapthere is virtually no lather to it it foams up a bit but very lightly it is a very gentle soap but for me it is a bit too gentle in that i do not have a clean feeling after using it my face feels more like i have applied a moisturizer that is not a bad thing especially in the dry winter months but i want to have a clean feeling face after using a face soap and i do not get it from thisbalancing the positive and negative features puts my rating at three stars average it smell great and it is very gentle but it is not a face soap i would get again there are other gentle soaps that also offer better cleaning and a better value on a cost per ounce basis
