What’s good about it?
I love this cleanser. This and the Sonya Dakar Eye Wash are my favourite oil-based liquid (as opposed to balm) cleansers at the moment. They're completely gentle, yet destroy makeup in seconds. A joy to use. Neither cause any further irritation and skin is left completely comfortable.
This washes off clean enough to use your prescription retinoids on the clean skin straight afterwards (as you always should) without needing to tone. No residue.
What’s not so good about it?
Actually not so sure if it's a negative but this is fragrance free, yet contains essential oils. Unsure why or which ones, but bear that in mind if they are an issue for you. Otherwise, crack on.
Works well with?
The Eye Wash is great before this, and all acids are obviously good afterwards.
What’s the website like?
Great with the exception of no full ingredient listing, which lets it down. Otherwise all good.
Would I repurchase?
Yes. And back up.
