What's doing the work
How much is actually in here

Ingredients above 1% must be listed in order of weight; below that they can be listed in any order. Methylparaben sits at #14 and is used at well under 1%, so roughly everything after it is present in small amounts.

This product is marketed on Hyaluronic Acid, but it sits below the preservatives — so it is present in trace amounts rather than at a level likely to do much.

Why people buy it

Effectively removes oil without over-stripping — the ceramides keep your barrier intact even as it deep-cleanses.

Main drawback

Foaming and thorough enough that dry or sensitive skin can feel tight afterwards.

What matters
  • Foaming surfactants strong enough to remove sunscreen
  • Three ceramides and niacinamide to offset the stripping
  • Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic
