Decent makeup remover. I use this after my micellar water and before my normal cleanser if I'm taking makeup off. On normal days, I just use this and follow up with my routine. Fungal acne safe! It keeps my sebderm spots smooth and calm if I'm having a flair. Has helped in improving my skin's hydration!
I prefer this to the MCT oil because it’s easier to travel with and doesn’t make as much of a slippery mess. I’ve only gotten the older kind, not the new formula. Lasts a while too.
