TL;DR: Gentle micellar water with very lipid-nourishing ingredients for your skin barrier. Affordable. Non-stripping.
Note: The toner sibling of this product doesn't play well with a lot of people's skin, but please don't let this deter your from trying this; it's really, really good!

I use this instead of an oil cleanser for my first cleansing step since this doesn't break me out. It has a nice slippery texture that helps with removing spf, sebum, etc, but it doesn't leave any residue when I rinse it off.
