What do reviews say about acne?

It is oil-free and non-comedogenic, but it has no acne-fighting active, so it suits acne-prone skin as a basic wash rather than a treatment.

What do reviews say about makeup?

It clears everyday makeup and sunscreen well; experts suggest a first cleanse for waterproof or long-wear makeup.

What do reviews say about dry skin?

Oily and combination skin fits best; very dry skin usually does better with the hydrating cream version.
