Ginseng oil cleanser removes makeup fast and soothes sensitive, dry skin; strong scent.

This oil cleanser is loved for its ability to dissolve makeup quickly, even waterproof mascara. It suits sensitive and dry skin well, providing gentle cleansing without irritation. The trade-off is its strong ginseng scent, which some find off-putting.
