What the gurus are saying

This cleanser prioritizes extreme gentleness over robust cleansing, with zero lather, making it especially well-suited for irritated or peeling skin, particularly those on Accutane. Its patented formula removes surface impurities without disrupting the skin's natural barrier. However, it won't remove makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, so you'll want to use an oil cleanser or cleansing balm first if you're wearing those products.

NEW DRUGSTORE SKIN CARE (Pacifica, Cetaphil, Neutrogena) | Dr Dray
"This is super gentle, unlike the Pacifica one there is like zero lather to this. [...] It doesn't cleanse particularly robustly, which is good if you are dealing with a lot of peeling and irritation from topical products. If you are on Accutane this would be a fantastic cleanser to use because it's so gentle. [...] However, you absolutely have to use an oil cleanser or a cleansing balm if you're wearing makeup or water resistant sunscreen. This is not going to touch it."
