Customers say this cleanser effectively removes makeup while leaving skin soft and hydrated. Many reviews mention its gentle formula and refreshing scent. While most use it as a first cleanse, some note it works well alone. The lightweight texture impresses users, though a few prefer a thicker consistency.
