Review overview
Those who have already tried Levrana gels note their gentle cleansing effect. The products do not cause itching, burning, feeling of dryness, they soften and soothe sensitive skin.
The smell of the products is unobtrusive, pleasant. But the consistency raises questions - some gels seem to be too liquid. This is due to the absence of hard thickeners in the composition.
