I have not used many Pevonia products, so I am not an expert on this brand. However, an aesthetician used the Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser on me during my best-ever facial, and I was hooked. It works well as a several-times-a-week exfoliator on even sensitive skin. Every time I use it (in the shower, because it does have little granules) my face and neck feel amazing afterward. Smooth, soft, ultra-clean and moisturized. I LOVE this cleanser! I would give it 5 stars if I felt I could use it every day, or around my eyes, which would not be a good idea.
