How to use

Any time of day, as the first step. Wet skin with lukewarm water, massage in gentle circles until it foams, rinse well and pat dry. People with oily skin can wash up to twice a day, per the brand's general advice.

Pros
  • Gel foaming cleanser with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramides
  • Removes oil and makeup without leaving skin tight, per the brand
  • Fragrance-free
Cons
  • No acne or exfoliating active, so it cleans but does not treat
  • A wash is rinsed off quickly, so its niacinamide and ceramides have little time on the skin
