As someone with sensitive skin, I was excited to try the EltaMD Skin Recovery cleanser after seeing rave reviews. The foaming pump is super convenient—just one pump gives you a luxurious, airy lather that feels gentle on the skin.

After using it for a month, I noticed my forehead bumps fading, which was a huge win! It removes impurities without leaving residue, making it perfect for pre-tretinoin routines. My skin felt clean but not stripped, unlike some harsh foaming cleansers.

However, at $30+ for a small bottle, the price stings. While it worked wonders for me, some users found it drying—proof that ‘gentle’ is subjective. If you love EltaMD’s sunscreens (same!), this might be worth a shot… but patch-test first!
