Glass take

3.8 / 5 overall fit

A multi-tasking cleanser that can remove makeup, but the AHA content means it's not for everyone, especially those with a compromised skin barrier.

A gentle cleanser and makeup remover, packed with antioxidant-rich blueberries, hyaluronic acid, and gentle AHAs.

NormalDryCombinationand OilyPoresOilinessand Acne and Blemishes

To use as a cleanser: Dispense one pump into wet palms and rub hands to create a lather. Massage gently onto skin. Rinse thoroughly with water. Follow with your usual skincare regimen.

To use as a makeup remover: Dispense two pumps into wet palms and gently massage into face and neck in small circular motions for a full minute to eliminate all traces of makeup.

To use as a mask: Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin. After five minutes, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

What Glass adds

What actually matters before you buy it

This is a good option if you want a cleanser that can handle makeup removal and offer mild exfoliation. However, the inclusion of glycolic and lactic acids means it's not ideal for very sensitive skin or those with a damaged skin barrier. It’s a solid choice for normal to oily skin types looking for a gentle daily exfoliation.

Makeup removal

Many users find this cleanser effective at removing light to moderate makeup, though some suggest a double cleanse for heavier products.

Exfoliation

The presence of AHAs is noted for providing gentle exfoliation, leaving skin feeling smoother. However, some users with sensitive skin experienced irritation.

Best for

When this is a smart buy

  • Normal to oily skin
  • Those looking for a 3-in-1 cleanser (cleanser, makeup remover, mask)
  • People who want mild exfoliation in their cleanse

Skip if

When this is the wrong lane

  • You have very sensitive or reactive skin
  • Your skin barrier is currently compromised
  • You prefer a fragrance-free cleanser

Routine fit

Where this fits in your routine

Use this as your first step in the morning or evening to cleanse and remove makeup. If you're using it as a mask, apply it to clean, dry skin after your usual cleansing step, or use it as your sole cleansing step if you're not wearing makeup.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

What it actually does well

  • Multi-functional (cleanser, makeup remover, mask)
  • Contains beneficial fruit extracts and AHAs
  • Good for removing light to moderate makeup

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • Contains fragrance
  • AHAs may be too harsh for sensitive skin
  • Not a deep cleansing option for heavy makeup or SPF

Routine fit

Where it belongs in the stack

Morning or Night

This cleanser can be used in both your morning and evening routines. In the morning, it provides a gentle cleanse and mild exfoliation. In the evening, it's effective for removing daily grime and light makeup before your treatment steps.

FAQ

The fast answers people actually need

Can this cleanser remove makeup?

Yes, it is designed to remove light to moderate makeup. For heavier makeup or long-wear products, a double cleanse might be more effective.

Is this cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

While it contains gentle cleansing agents, the inclusion of glycolic and lactic acids, along with fragrance, may cause irritation for very sensitive skin types. It's recommended to patch test first.

Can I use this daily?

For most skin types, daily use is fine, especially if you tolerate AHAs well. However, if you have sensitive skin or are using other exfoliating products, you might want to use it less frequently.
