    What the gurus are saying

    This cream-to-foam cleanser removes makeup and waterproof sunscreen effectively while staying gentle and hydrating. It contains licorice root to calm inflammation and allantoin for extra moisture, and works well as a second step in double cleansing or on its own for lighter makeup. Those with heavy makeup may want to pre-cleanse with a balm or oil first. It's fragrance-free, though avoid it if you're allergic to feverfew, and at $12 it's good value.

    "First Aid Beauty gets it right with a gentle fragrance-free formula. I do find this to be very effective for cleaning the skin. If you're not into double cleansing, I do feel like this is something that could actually remove makeup and waterproof sunscreen pretty easily, you just have to be mindful and take your time. I do find it to be gentle as well, and I do find that the bottle itself lasts a really long time."

    "It's a mild cream to foam cleanser. It has licorice root which is anti-inflammatory, it's not drying, it's a good option for a second step in a double cleanse. It does a decent job by itself removing sunscreen and some makeup, but if you wear heavy makeup you may want to use a cleansing balm or cleansing oil first. It also has allantoin in it which is very hydrating and moisturizing. It does have feverfew extract, so if you are allergic to that you would want to avoid this, but otherwise it is fragrance free. I have tried this recently and it's still just as good and I still recommend it, and I think twelve dollars is not too bad."

    What the evidence says.

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

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
