I used it until recently. Now I'm a little unconventional and using something else. I especially used it as a morning face wash. It's said that gel-type face washes are hard to remove the stickiness, but this Elixir product doesn't have that problem and cleanses easily. Personally, I prefer gel-type face washes to foam-type face washes when I'm busy in the morning. I think I'll go back to using this one once I've used up my current one.
It's comfortable and doesn't dry out my skin. It's good value for money and I haven't had any issues with it, so I'm using it. I haven't noticed any roughness or effect on my pores.
It doesn't have any particularly noteworthy effects, but I quite like it. I'm not a huge fan, but it might become a staple. The good thing is that it's very easy to use because it doesn't lather. It leaves your skin smooth. It's an elixir, so it's safe. It smells nice too. It leaves your skin feeling smooth even if it's a little sticky after an oil cleanser. The bad thing is that I thought the little particles were a scrub, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to run out quickly? Maybe I put out too much at one time. I like that the container is easy to dispense! There's nothing particularly bad about it, so I think I'll buy it again!

Some of my Elixir miles were about to expire, so I decided to exchange them for this one for the first time in a while. It's perfect for saving time in the morning. It's not a foam, so it takes a little longer to remove makeup, but it doesn't require any effort to lather, and it doesn't dry out your skin, so you can just lightly moisturize and then move on to makeup. It's also reasonably priced, which is great. I don't notice much effect on pores, but it's a great value face wash.
