What's doing the work
Where it goes

As the last step in your routine.

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. Sodium Benzoate sits at #9 and is used at well under 1%, so roughly everything after it is present in small amounts.

Why people buy it

One of the most dermatologist-recommended cleansers — gentle enough for post-procedure skin and daily use on the most reactive complexions.

Main drawback

Very mild — effective as a second cleanse, but not enough on its own for a full face of sunscreen or makeup.
