What creators are saying
TikTokReviewers love this cleanser for delivering a deep clean without stripping the skin, praising its gentle yet effective exfoliation thanks to the rice micro beads, niacinamide, and glycolic acid. They recommend it specifically for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types that wear makeup daily. One minor note is that while the formula's exfoliating ingredients could potentially be drying for sensitive skin, reviewers found it surprisingly gentle in practice.
