Our verdict

A foaming gel face cleanser for normal and oily skin that targets oil and impurities. The listed volumes conflict, so check the bottle size before assuming how long it lasts.

Overview

Not a cream or a milk, this is a gel cleanser that foams away oil and impurities from the face. The listing names coconut oil as a special ingredient and describes the formula as unscented, in a white bottle.

A cleansing gel focused on oil control suits normal and oily faces, and the vegan, cruelty free and gluten free claims add clarity on ingredients. The limitation is size: five fluid ounces and a much larger milliliter figure sit in the same listing.

Who it's for

Adults with normal to oily skin who want an oil-clearing face wash and care about vegan or cruelty free labels get the clearest fit. The formula is unscented. Dry skin and shoppers who need a confirmed bottle volume should check elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Foams away oil and impurities
  • Vegan and cruelty free
Cons
  • Volume listed inconsistently
  • Normal to oily skin only
  • Directions not listed

Performance notes

A gel cleanser foams as it meets water and lifts surface oil, which is why it targets oily skin. Coconut oil adds some slip so the wash does not feel harsh. The effect depends on how much is used and how thoroughly it is rinsed, which the listing leaves open.
