I have to admit I was sceptical that this would be sufficient to clean oily skin, makeup and sunscreen. However, my acne-prone skin has even been especially clear since switching to this cleanser from my normal face wash. While the improvement could be coincidental, I'm at least convinced that my skin is getting clean. While I don't use waterproof mascara, this does a fine job of taking care of eye makeup. It even did quick, gentle work cleaning up little children's painted faces after a party.
