Face felt tight after every wash and I got a few new bumps on my chin by week two. Stopped using it. Maybe fine for dry skin but my oily skin hated it

Really wanted to like this. No perfume, simple face wash, exactly my thing. But my cheeks feel tight afterwards and I'm reaching for moisturiser straight away. I don't need that squeaky clean feeling. Just too drying for my skin unfortunately.
No breakouts or reactions on very sensitive skin, but it does little, leaves skin dull and can't remove sunscreen.
“Aveeno calm and restore oat cleanser. My skin doesn’t break out at all with this. No reactions! But my skin is dull because it doesn’t do much and definitely can’t take off sunscreen.”
Super gentle and never stings even when their skin is angry.
“the LRP hydrating one (the white bottle) is way better, super gentle, never stings even when my skin is angry.”
