What the gurus are saying

One expert found it genuinely gentle and well-tolerated, with no sign of barrier damage, and suitable even for dry skin. However, another dermatologist noted it lacks humectants despite the hydrating name, making it gentler than truly hydrating, and suggested alternatives with added moisture-binding ingredients might serve dry skin better. The fragrance-free formula earns praise from both.

"It doesn't have any humectants in it. So it's probably not going to be that hydrating. It's just not going to be that harsh. I'd like to retract that statement because they were a hydrating cleanser. I would say it's a gentle cleanser, not a Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. It doesn't have fragrance in it though, and I would personally buy this product. There probably are better products out there that have got humectants in them, but it's okay. [...] If you have dry skin, it's better to go with the micellar gel wash than this."

"This is a hyaluronic acid based cleanser, and it says from normal to combination skin, which basically is for most people, and I would even go as far as saying if you do have dry skin you could probably use this too as well. It's clean, it avoids the use of any sort of harsh acids. There's no acid in there, you've just really kind of cleansed it quite nicely, so this could be your double cleanse routine, use the micellar water first and then use this cleanser afterwards. I used it for about a week or so and it was absolutely fine, I didn't get any impaired skin barrier or anything."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.
