What Sephora says

What this product is supposed to do

A gel-to-foam cleanser formulated with gentle ingredients that intensely cleans while hydrating to leave skin feeling soft, fresh, and not stripped.

NormalDryCombinationand OilyPoresDrynessand Acne and Blemishes

Wet your face.

Dispense a dime-size amount of cleanser and lather between your hands.

Apply to your face and rub in a circular motion for 30 seconds.

Wash with water and pat dry. Use morning and night.

For best results, use as the second cleanser in the evening, after the Micellar Cleansing Pads (sold separately).

What Glass adds

What actually matters before you buy it

A solid, no-fuss cleanser that performs its primary job well. It's a good option for those looking for a gentle yet effective second cleanse in their evening routine or a primary cleanse for oilier skin types.

Best for

When this is a smart buy

  • Oily, combination, and normal skin types
  • Those seeking a non-stripping cleanser
  • Acne-prone skin

Skip if

When this is the wrong lane

  • You prefer a very rich, creamy cleanser
  • Your skin is extremely dry and sensitive and reacts to any foaming agents

Routine fit

Where this fits in your routine

This cleanser is ideal for use morning and night. In the evening, it works best as a second cleanse after removing makeup or sunscreen, especially if you use the brand's Micellar Cleansing Pads. For morning use, it's a great way to refresh the skin.

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

  • Effective cleansing without stripping
  • Hydrating and soothing ingredients
  • Suitable for multiple skin types
  • Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • May not be rich enough for very dry skin as a sole cleanser
  • Requires a second cleanse for heavy makeup removal

Routine fit

Where it belongs in the stack

Morning and Night

Use as the first or second step in your cleansing routine, morning and night. It's particularly effective as a second cleanse in the evening.
