What the gurus are saying

Gentle, fragrance-free and not drying, this cleanser is called a reliable pick, though some gurus see it as decent rather than a favorite. Normal to oily skin suits it best, so drier skin may want to ease off to a few times a week. On its own it removes sunscreen and light makeup, but heavy makeup may need a balm or oil first. Anyone allergic to feverfew extract should skip it.

    "I really like that you can grab the First Aid Beauty cleanser at any point during week two. That is a very reliable cleanser, and I think you'll like it regardless of your skin type. If your skin is more dry, use a pea size amount, if you're a bit more oily, use a little more."

    "I have to admit I do like the First Aid Beauty cleanser, it's actually a really good price in the sale too, it will only be 12 dollars. It's gentle and yet it's thorough, so I feel like you're probably going to like it more if you have normal to oily skin. I'm a little too dry to use this every single day personally, but it's good, it's a good cleanser, and it's one of my skincare picks in this sale."
    ✓Yay
    "First Aid Beauty gets it right with a gentle fragrance-free formula. I do find this to be very effective for cleaning the skin. If you're not into double cleansing, I do feel like this is something that could actually remove makeup and waterproof sunscreen pretty easily, you just have to be mindful and take your time. [...] I do find it to be gentle as well, and I do find that the bottle itself lasts a really long time."

    "First Aid Beauty is in the house. This one is $13, which is definitely a good price point for First Aid Beauty. [...] I tried this product out, and it's actually not a bad cleanser. It's not my favorite, but it's definitely not a bad one. Although this one looks like it's been used a little bit."

    "It has licorice root which is anti-inflammatory, it's not drying, it's a good option for a second step in a double cleanse. It does a decent job by itself removing sunscreen and some makeup, but if you wear heavy makeup you may want to use a cleansing balm or cleansing oil first. It also has allantoin in it which is very hydrating and moisturizing. It does have feverfew extract, so if you are allergic to that you would want to avoid this, but otherwise it is fragrance free."
    ✓Yay
    "Today, for day two, I picked the First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser. It's a pretty decent face cleanser for the most part, and it works great for a lot of people. No matter what other people say, I still think you should spend the least amount of money you can on a cleanser and find a good, gentle one. There are a lot of really affordable cleansers that are very gentle, and you don't have to spend a ton. They get rinsed down the sink."
    ✓Yay
    "First Aid Beauty has a face cleanser that retails for approximately twenty dollars. It is a creamy cleanser and patients have told me they like it."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
