System Verdict
This is a competent but not gentle-enough foaming cleanser hiding behind green-tea marketing while leaning on SLES plus fragrance and scrub beads. Efficacy-wise it cleans well and the SLES + cocamidopropyl betaine system at a likely skin-friendly pH does remove oil and debris effectively, but the glycolic acid and green tea sit in a rinse‑off base (with unknown %, plus very short contact time) so they contribute far less than the acne-control claims suggest, and the inclusion of physical cellulose beads plus fragrance keeps this squarely in functional-but-unrefined territory rather than a modern, barrier-respecting formula.
