5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This cleanser transforms from a rich cream to a gel-like texture when water is added, and gurus praise it for removing waterproof makeup and multiple layers of sunscreen without stripping or leaving residue behind. The glycolipids and phytic acid make it exceptionally gentle, earning particular favour from those with dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin, as well as anyone using active ingredients like tretinoin; however, dermatologists note it may need an oil cleanser as a first step for very stubborn water-resistant sunscreen. It works on all skin types without leaving film or greasiness.
