I experienced no irritation and my skin felt quite clean and ready for the day or night.
ATTITUDE’s Micellar Foaming Cleanser is offered in three different scents and unscented. The unscented version provides the same spectacular results as the scented ones, it just doesn’t contain a scent that might be bothersome to a few. The Lemon Leaves scent is quite refreshing in the morning, while I found that the White Tea Leaves scent to be relaxing into the night. The Orange Leaves scent was perfect for both day and night.
