This mild cleanser is a non-oily gel that deep cleanses. I have super sensitive skin and didn't have a flare up using this gel but it's no indication about its mildness since even regular soap can make my skin go nuts. This gel smells great and it did take off all my make up. I'm going to use it for deep cleansing to alternate with my regular mild cleanser since I would only use the sone when I wear makeup.
