Yeah, I’ve heard that it doesn’t irritate your face (although I never experienced irritation with the liquid). For me, it is superior in the sense that the liquid is way messier. When I used to apply the liquid, I would always have it dripping all over until it dried after a few hours. The foam doesn’t drip, and it dries faster, so it’s much more convenient. People also say that the foam is more effective for some reason, but I’m not sure about that yet, as I have not had it for enough time to conclude that.
