st ives fresh face olive cleanser and olive scrub.
my skin has become dry before winter started and my current cleansers seems too drying. i was on a quest to look for something more moisturizing.
in general these products are gentle. do not dry out my skin. a plus.
the cleanser, perhaps is too gentle. i don't feel my skin clean. the smell isn't great but bearable.
it'd be nice if the cleanser is even more moisturizing. i noted that the product website has the word 'moisturizing' but my cleanser doesn't have this word on the label. not sure if they are the same or i took the wrong product off the shelf.
the scrub is... also gentle. too gentle for my taste. it doesn't leave a thoroughly cleansed feeling like the apricot scrubs do. but since my skin is really dry these products have to hibernate. i'm still trying to like this scrub.

I watched one of hollyannaeree youtube stating the over excessive washing your face tends to make your face dryer and I totally agree with her. At one point I was washing my face like crazy and that it over dried my face with flaky skins falling out. I'm doing minimal now like exfoliating once a week only. 
i used to wash a lot during my oily and acne days because i was told my face was dirty and needed to clean whenever possible. i ended up with more acnes!!nowadays, i wash my face 2x daily. morning with warm water only. night with cleanser. i really love exfoliating (it's addictive!) but i'm cutting it down too.
