6 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This oil cleanser earns consistent praise for removing waterproof makeup and sunscreen effectively while feeling lighter than typical oil cleansers, though it requires a few extra pumps due to its thinner texture. The ginseng and blend of antioxidant-rich oils appeal to those seeking both efficacy and skincare benefit, but dermatologists suggest those with oily or acne-prone skin may want to skip it, since the soybean oil base sits at a moderate level on the comedogenic scale. Those with normal to dry skin find it a gentle, affordable workhorse for a first cleanse, often followed by a water-based cleanser.
