Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This cleanser removes makeup, mascara, and sunscreen without stripping the skin, leaving it soft and hydrated rather than tight or dry. The colloidal oatmeal and plant-based butters make it especially soothing for sensitive skin and those with a compromised barrier, and may help calm facial redness. The creamy texture and gentle lather work well as a first cleanse, even on oily and combination skin, though those with sensitive skin are likely to find it most rewarding.
