What the gurus are saying

Pore-unclogging power stands out, though skin type makes all the difference in fit. This formula penetrates pores and removes buildup effectively, earning praise for that real benefit. However, the split with oily skin is genuine, experts found it works much better on drier to combination skin, and those with oilier complexions didn't feel the same enthusiasm about the results.

"It does have a bit of a funny smell, quite strong, but it's salicylic acid and it's fragrance free so it's not going to irritate the skin. This isn't going to foam because of salicylic acid, so you don't get that kind of lathery feel that you're going to find with your normal cleansers, but it gets into the pores and it unclogs the pores."

"This one is better for more dry to combo skin. This is the Squalane Cleanser that I personally don't love on my oily prone skin."
