Guru Score
Approved
5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This cleanser earns consistent praise for removing makeup and sunscreen in one step without leaving residue or a tight, stripped feeling, making it an effective alternative to double cleansing. Gurus highlight that squalene and three ceramides keep skin comfortable rather than parched, and it foams nicely despite minimal oil content (around 1-2% by weight). One expert cautioned that the actual oil concentration is lower than the name suggests, so those with very dry or eczema-prone skin might want to pair it with an extra hydrating step rather than relying on it alone for all their cleansing needs.
