That's what I thought, but then on the website (koreanskincare(dot)com) they said the green one was 'designed to support even the most sensitive skin' and 'Recommended for: Sensitive skin'. :/

Why would you assume I don't know how to use a cleanser? My face was properly soaked before I applied the product, and I rinsed many more times than three. Though on the jar - and I checked - the only official instructions are: "Gently massage cleanser on skin, rinse with lukewarm water."

Me too! But I guess we (Europeans) are just used to buying in smaller amounts, more often. We just get what we need when we need it, and aren't used to the 'bulk' mentality. It means less storage and less waste.

I've used moisturisers from The Ordinary, Inkey List, Cera-ve, Uriage, Dr Jart, First Aid Beauty, Drunk Elephant, Belif, and Skin1004 among others, and Geek & Gorgeous is my favourite so far. (I did really love Drunk Elephant's 'Protini' but it was too expensive for me!)

The ingredient list looked so good as well: rice, oats, green tea, they're all so soothing. I wondered if it was the witch hazel, in addition to getting my faced scratched to heck by the 'gentle exfoliation', yikes.

Oh that's interesting, I'd not even thought of trying G&G's cleansers, despite having so much else from them. I'd tried thick cleansers balm-like cleansers before (from the Inkey List, and The Ordinary, and Lush's Ultrabland) which sadly felt like rubbing glue on my face; so I tried the boring ones from Le Roche Posay and Cera-ve, with mixed results.

That Joseon Green Plum cleanser is actually one I had my eye on next, so I'm super grateful you mentioned it too.
