View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A gentle balm-to-lather daily cleanser that removes SPF and makeup while leaving skin hydrated post-rinse.
Every morning/evening, take a small amount into wet hands.
Rub hands together to work the formula into a lather and apply to face.
Rinse thoroughly.
Follow with Glazing Milk, Peptide Glazing Fluid, and Barrier Restore Cream or Barrier Butter for best results.
What Glass adds
This is a solid cleanser for those who want a gentle, hydrating option that effectively removes SPF and light makeup. It's a good choice if you prioritize a non-stripping formula and appreciate the inclusion of polyglutamic acid for added hydration. However, if you prefer a deeply cleansing lather or are looking for a cleanser with active ingredients to address specific concerns, you might find this to be a bit too mild.

Why it works
