Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This cleansing gel is described as concentrated and exfoliating, built around salicylic acid for oily skin that needs help managing excess shine and congestion. Because it is concentrated, a small amount is meant to go a long way, which can offset some of the higher upfront cost over time.

At 3.4 ounces, the bottle is on the smaller side, which fits the concentrated positioning. It is designed as a daily face wash rather than an occasional treatment, so it is meant to be worked into a regular morning or evening cleansing routine.

A 4.8 star average across 132 ratings is a notably high score, though the review count itself is modest and the bought last month figure of 3 suggests this is a smaller volume seller compared to some of the bigger names in the category.

Performance notes

Salicylic acid is an oil soluble beta hydroxy acid well suited to oily skin, and a concentrated exfoliating formula is meant to work through daily use rather than as a one time deep treatment. Because the formula is concentrated, using just a small amount per wash is likely enough to get the intended effect without overdoing it.

What buyers say

A 4.8 star average across 132 ratings is an excellent score, even if the total review count and monthly purchase numbers are smaller than some higher volume cleansers. The high rating suggests the people who do buy it tend to be genuinely satisfied.
