Not sure
I started using this as an alternative to the pink bars (now discontinued i think) as they were too drying and irritated my skin. This is my second or third purchase and although I do like it I find that it doesn't always fetch my foundation off (EL Doublewear). Also, my skin feels a little tight after washing my face, which is likely down to my menopausal skin (menopause...the gift that just keeps giving!), but ironically I am also getting a few spots and pimples . But I have continued using as they a plastic free and tbh, better and cheaper than other face wash. Having just received an advertising email for Bliss bars, I think I will give that ago next time.
