Verdict: The cool and creamy wash lives up to its name and does not disappoint. The menthol leaves an invigorating scent and sensation while its creamy texture leaves my skin feeling hydrated. It feels like a mini face spa whenever I use this, perfect for the hot and humid climate that we live in. Those pesky blemishes did not surface in the couple of days that I had used this.
