I usually use the foam type, but I found this on sale at the drugstore so I decided to give it a try. As it comes in liquid form, I felt like I was scrubbing harder than with the foam type. The foam type is gentler and more thorough. However, it moisturizes well even after cleansing, so I can use it without any problems, and it lasts for 3-4 months even if I use it every day, so it's great value for money!
