Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

What it actually does well

Excellent makeup and sunscreen removal
Leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated
Pleasant texture and scent
Suitable for sensitive skin around the eyes

Where it starts to feel redundant

Higher price point
Requires a second cleanser for a complete cleanse

Routine fit

Morning or Night

While ideal for removing the day's accumulation of makeup, SPF, and grime in the evening, it can also be used in the morning to refresh the skin and remove any oil or residue from overnight.
