Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This cleanser earns praise for cleaning oily skin without stripping it, even with frequent use. Gurus note that many oil-focused cleansers can dehydrate skin over time, which can backfire by triggering more sebum production; this one's gentle surfactants and glycerin formula keeps that cycle from starting. Those with oily or combination skin, or anyone cleansing multiple times daily, may find it particularly worth trying.
