Reviews Summary
Customers say this cleanser is gentle and effective for removing makeup and SPF without leaving skin dry or tight. Many appreciate its nourishing balm texture that melts smoothly into an oil, then emulsifies with water for easy rinsing. The product works well for sensitive and dry skin types, leaving faces feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable. Common feedback highlights its ability to remove even waterproof makeup with minimal effort. Some note the formula is an improvement over the previous version, with a creamier consistency. A few mention occasional residue or prefer double cleansing for heavier makeup.

    It’s ok

    complimentary from theinkeylist. I love how this leaves my skin feeling. I was a bit worried at first as it seems a bit oily when you squeeze it out of the bottle but it doesn’t leave skin oily. I like it but it’s not a favourite.

    Feels luxurious

    gifted by The INKEY List

    Honestly, this cleanser is a dream. It's thick and balm like, which feels really luxurious, and it cuts through even stubborn waterproof mascara without any fuss. My skin feels clean but never tight or dry afterwards, just really comfortable.
