What the gurus are saying

This rinse-free, fast-drying cleaner earns praise for how effectively it removes makeup staining in seconds, particularly useful if you want to freshen brushes quickly. The scent isn't for everyone; if you're fragrance-sensitive, that's worth noting, though it doesn't affect performance. Both reviewers emphasize it's a quick-refresh tool rather than a deep-clean solution, best for daily touch-ups or between-client sessions, but not a complete substitute for occasional thorough washing.

"I personally don't like this one. The smell makes me feel travel sick. It reminds me of vanilla [...] car air freshener trees, and it reminds me of travel sickness. So I personally can't use it. The thing about this brush cleaner is it does not sanitize your brushes, right? It's designed to clean them. Which it does remove the makeup. [...] It's great between clients and stuff. But you do need to do a deep clean on your brushes occasionally. [...] It's not the answer to cleaning your brushes all the time. If you're just using them on yourself and you want them clean the next day, fine. But you do need to give your brushes a good deep clean eventually. [...] It's just a brush cleaner, a fast drying brush cleaner. That's all it is."

"The Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner truly is a holy grail product. Nothing is like this product, I have never in my life tried a Brush Cleaner that is as effective as this. If you hate seeing staining on your brushes, this gets rid of that. It's a very quick drying formula, rinse free, really fast for a quick refresh for your brushes. It doesn't completely replace cleaning your brushes, but it does help them in different ways."
