Questions
Barely. It is a non-ionic, sulfate-free gel that turns milky rather than foamy. Foam is not what cleans skin, and the surfactants that make a lot of it are usually the ones that leave skin tight.
It removes sunscreen and light makeup in one pass, mineral SPF included. For heavy or waterproof makeup, use the Micellar Prep Water first and then this.
5.5, close to the skin's own.
Yes, there is no added fragrance.
The 50 ml is the travel size and the one that comes in the Starter Ritual. The 150 ml lasts about ten weeks of twice-daily use. The 300 ml is the best price per ml if you already know you like it.
Yes. The cleanser is available on subscription at 10% off each delivery, on a 4, 6, 8 or 12 week schedule.

Normal to dry
It does what it says and it says very little. No scent, no tight feeling, takes my sunscreen off in one wash. I bought the 300 ml and stopped thinking about cleanser.

Dry
My face used to feel a size too small after every wash. Not with this.

Combination
I know foam does not matter, but it took me a week to trust that my face was clean. It was. Skin is calmer than with my old cleanser.

Combination, deeper skin tone
I wear the Medium–Deep sunscreen every day and this removes it completely without a second cleanse.

One hand, no mess, nothing gets into the bottle. Small detail, but it is the reason this lives in my shower.

Normal, wears full makeup
On days I wear long-wear foundation it left a little behind. With the micellar water first it is fine, but that is two products. For no-makeup days it is perfect.

Sensitive
The 50 ml lasted a two-week trip with some left over. Came home and ordered the big one.

Normal, shaves daily
No sting on freshly shaved skin, which I cannot say for most cleansers.
Ruth E.
Verified buyer
Dry
Excellent cleanser. I would love a refill pouch for this the way there is for the cream.
Tanya M.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but my easily flushed skin has had no trouble with it at all.

It cleans my face and I never think about it. That is exactly what I want.
