What the gurus are saying
This cleanser earns consistent praise for its silky, velvety texture and ability to cleanse thoroughly while leaving skin hydrated rather than tight. Gurus highlight the amino acids and gentle formulation that spare the skin the drying harshness of typical cleansers, and note it works for both makeup removal and everyday cleansing. The recent reformulation makes it suitable for double cleansing in one product, though Dr. Idriss flags it as best suited to dry or normal skin types.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
