The product description frames it as safe for acne prone, sensitive and oily skin while aiming not to strip the skin's moisture barrier. It sits at #92 in facial cleansing gels on Amazon, and the formula is both fragrance free and paraben free.

Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.

- Gel to oil texture for gentle cleansing
- Oil cleansing texture will not suit everyone
- No foaming action for those who prefer it
Performance notes
