Routine Fit
This cleanser is ideal as the first step in a double cleansing routine to remove makeup and SPF, followed by a water-based cleanser. It can also be used as a standalone cleanser in the morning or evening, especially if you have normal, dry, or oily skin and are looking for gentle cleansing with a touch of exfoliation.
Why it works
