Real users, particularly those with dry skin, highly praise the Squalane Cleanser for its moisturizing properties and ability to remove sunscreen without leaving the skin feeling tight.

😊

这款洗面奶，我夸到爆！...脸一点都不干了，每天水润！

I praise this cleanser to the skies! ... My face isn't dry at all, it's hydrated every day!

💬

这款质地比较偏膏状，干手乳化后上脸...随着在脸上搓揉会变得比较水润。

The texture is more like a balm; after emulsifying with dry hands... it becomes more watery as you rub it on your face.

💬

请问这个是milk 还是gel

May I ask if this is a milk or a gel?

Users generally praise the cleanser for being gentle, hydrating, and effective at removing makeup, though many emphasize the importance of warming it in hands to transform it into an oil for proper use. Some users report negative experiences, including breakouts, eye irritation, and a dislike for its texture or scent.

bought this because of you and i am now on my second bottle

💬

I have been using this product completely wrong and maybe you have as well. Apparently, you're meant to rub it in between your hands to turn it into an oil before you put it on your skin.

👎

This cleanser, when it's near the eye area, can be very irritating.

👎

It broke my out and I feel is really drying

😊

This is a great gentle cleanser that can also be used as a makeup remover!
