Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

UPDATED 11 July 2024 (TL;DR below):
This cleanser comes in a simple squeeze bottle, which was convenient for when I completely finished it; There was no struggle to get the last bits out. Godsend.
The brand claims the cleanser melts makeup, clear pores, and tackles dark spots, zits, and dehydration. I can say with confidence it helped with the last two. The more frequently I cleaned my face Show more
I've been really stressed about my fungal acne, but this product has felt great after just two days of use. The gel-like cleanser and foaming action when it gets wet feel wonderful, and it doesn't strip my skin after washing. I do need to follow up with a toner, though. My routine has been dandruff shampoo, this cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, and it's been working well for me. Just a note to Show more

Very gentle even when my skin is feeling particularly reactive. Washes off really nicely. The only thing I dislike is the packaging because it sits on the part where it releases the product it tries to release a lot at once so I don't feel like I have a lot of control over how much I take. I've been storing it upside down in a cup.
Meh...
Used over half the bottle but I think I'm done with this one. It's not drying and does have ceramides in it, so that's good. But it smells nasty and occasionally it would sting my skin when I used it (and I don't have super sensitive skin). I also wish it came in a pump, because every time I opened it more than I wanted would come out because the consistency is a little thin so it's easy to Show more
