Updated September 28, 2026

Non-foaming gentle cleanser removes makeup without stripping; fragrance and film complaints remain.

What the community says

A low-foam cleanser built around glycerin, butylene glycol, cucumber extract, and Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, with a soft gel feel. It suits sensitive, dehydrated, irritation-prone routines, yet fragrance and a lingering film can annoy users wanting a truly squeaky-clean finish.
