While the foam isn't abundant, it lathers well, and its thin consistency allows for effective cleansing with just a small amount. After washing, there was absolutely no feeling of tightness, and I didn't experience any blemishes.
ConsThe slippery feeling lingers when rinsing, and it's a bit challenging to wash out if it gets in your hair. Also, perhaps due to its thin consistency, it easily gets into the eyes, causing intense stinging and pain.

As you can see from my other reviews, I easily get blemishes unless a product is really gentle. That's why I prioritize ingredients. Texture: It's not too runny that it drips everywhere, nor is it too thick (it's a serum after all). It's just right in between! One of its features is that you don't need a separate cleansing foam. When I rubbed it in, it didn't feel overly oily like many other cleansers. Cleansing effectiveness: On my first use, I had on face makeup, eyeshadow, pencil eyeliner (no mascara), and lipstick. Without using anything else first, I used this cleansing serum, and to cut to the chase, it removed everything well! Even without using eye makeup remover first, it cleanly removed everything, even the glitter. Impressive! User experience: They say you can use this alone without following up with a cleansing foam. The first time I used it on makeup, I did follow up with a foam cleanser just in case, but I felt the serum alone was sufficient! The serum itself rolls smoothly on the face, emulsifies a bit with water, and when rinsed off completely, it doesn't leave any oily residue. When I used it without makeup, focusing on my nose, chin, and T-zone, I noticed my chin felt smoother and my nose more refined after applying toner and emulsion. Ingredients: While it's said to have many good ingredients, it's hard to immediately feel their effects on the skin. In terms of whether it causes blemishes, I'd cautiously say it's closer to not causing any. When I first used it with makeup on, I did have a few small, pink bumps, but that's likely due to the makeup itself as I always break out with makeup. When I used it on days without makeup, I didn't see any additional blemishes. Overall positives: I'd say it's good in terms of texture, cleansing power, ingredients, and user experience. It's neither a cleansing oil nor a foam, which could make it hard to satisfy, but I'm more satisfied than I expected.
ConsI felt a slight stinging sensation when removing eye makeup. I didn't rub too hard, but I was thorough since I was trying to remove everything without a separate remover. My eyes did sting a bit (though everything was removed cleanly). I'm not sure about waterproof makeup as I haven't tried removing it, but this alone might not be enough for that (since it finishes clean and not oily).
TipAfter applying enough product and thoroughly massaging all areas to be cleansed, wet your hands and massage again, then rinse very thoroughly with water. That alone should be sufficient! But if you want that squeaky clean feeling, you might want to follow up with a cleansing foam. Just be careful when cleansing around the eyes! As someone with very sensitive skin, the absence of blemishes is my main buying motivation. I cautiously recommend this product to those with sensitive skin... but! As I need to use it more to be sure, I plan to update this review after further use!

Convenience: An all-in-one product that eliminates the need for multiple items. 2. Liquid formula: Easily lathers up when in contact with water, making it simple to create foam even with just your hands. 3. Gentle cleansing sensation: Doesn't leave that squeaky-clean feeling (which I personally dislike) and doesn't cause any tightness on the face after use.
Cons1. Although it's an all-in-one product capable of removing makeup, it severely stings if it gets into your eyes. I accidentally opened my eyes once while using it, and it caused intense stinging and redness across my entire eye. Since then, I've been extra careful to keep my eyes closed during use. 2. Scent: It smells like dish soap. Those who dislike the scent of liquid detergents might find it off-putting. However, considering the ingredients, the lack of added fragrances is actually a plus. 3. I'm unsure if it effectively removes mineral-based sunscreens. 4. After continued use, I noticed the product leaking through the gaps in the pump dispenser when pressed. Conclusion: Overall, a somewhat disappointing product. It might be suitable for those who wear light makeup. I hope they reformulate it to be less irritating to the eyes in future versions.

Scent/Texture/Finish It's transparent, unscented, and feels like an oil-gel hybrid. The serum has a viscous texture that feels like a moisturizing oil when you massage it in. When you add water to cleanse, it rinses off completely without needing a second cleanse. There's no oily residue, just a hydrated finish. Highly recommended for those who dislike heavy oils or have oily skin! Cleansing Effectiveness It cleanses really well! Removes most sunscreen, foundation, and makeup, though it struggles a bit with long-lasting lip colors. It foams up when it touches water, transforming into a foam cleanser. This eliminates the need for a second cleanse, making your routine quicker and more convenient! However, I found the lack of an emulsification step a bit strange. I missed the feeling of dissolving sebum during the usual oil cleansing massage, which was a bit disappointing! Packaging The pump bottle is hygienic and easy to use. Plus, you can twist the pump to lock it, preventing leaks when you're on the go!
ConsWhile the overall cleansing process is conveniently simplified, I miss the deep cleansing sensation you get from the emulsification step where you feel the sebum dissolving. It doesn't feel like it's doing a deep cleanse, which is a bit disappointing! Also, while it was gentle on my skin, it stung my eyes a little when I used it. That's why I deducted one star.
TipWhen rinsing off the oil, try adding small amounts of water gradually as you massage. Instead of immediately rinsing with lots of water, think of it as an emulsification process. Adjust the foam concentration as you rinse for a more thorough cleanse!

My skin felt hydrated after cleansing, and it seemed less irritating. I loved that the container is transparent, so I could see how much I've used. You can use it in two steps: first, dissolve the makeup thoroughly without water, then add water to create a lather. This way, you can finish cleansing without needing a separate foam cleanser! As someone sensitive to fragrances, I appreciated that it's unscented.
ConsI have super sensitive skin that tends to break out when something doesn't agree with it. I'm not sure if it was because of this product, but I did get a few small blemishes. (Though I also switched cushions, so it could be due to that!) Also, this product really stings if it gets in your eyes. Other than that, I didn't notice any drawbacks.
TipIt doesn't remove mascara very well, so I recommend using a lip and eye makeup remover for point makeup first, then using this all-in-one serum as a foam cleanser replacement. The finish isn't squeaky clean, so I'd recommend it for those with dry skin. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated!
