I began using this product of Julie's about four years ago. It is far superior to any other cleanser on the market and I have tried them all. Julies TCA cleanser is part of my regime and will remain there. It thoroughly cleanses my skin, provides a delicate exfoliant effect and has made an improvement in the overall texture of my face. When used in conjunction with the micro crystals, it rivals a microdermabrasion session. It's an amazingly well kept secret in the Sephora and plastic surgeon run beauty world!
