Based on reviews, I use it after removing my eye makeup separately. It clears up sunken pores and blackheads. I've only used it twice so far, but I wonder if continued use will clear up rough areas caused by blackheads... I use it with dry hands and emulsify it thoroughly in the bathroom, and it removes makeup without drying out my skin. It didn't particularly sting my eyes either. (I double cleanse.) I also like the herbal mint scent. (Dodder + soap + mint?) I'll continue using it and see how it goes. *I've been using it for a few days, but it does feel a little dry. It removes makeup and clears up dark spots, so using it two or three times a week for special care seems just right.
