My overall experience/comments on the product:

      I found that this did a good job of taking off the remainder of my makeup (I use a Makeup Eraser dupe) and left my skin feeling somewhat soft, not stripped at all. That said, it's not my favorite cleanser - I personally prefer something with a more creamy, hydrating texture.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
