8.5 / 10
Doesn't leave your skin feeling stripped after using it. Removes light makeup effectively (if you wear heavier makeup, you'd have to work it a little bit more than normal) but I've prefered using it just in the morning, or as a second cleanser.
Does not foam at all and has no smell, which I appreciate.
