It's very gentle on the skin. It's enough for everyday makeup, but for mascara, eyeliner, and lip makeup, it's a little hard to remove and you end up rubbing them, so I think it's better to use a dedicated remover. It says that you don't need to double cleanse, but I also wash my face. Rather than rubbing to remove it with just this, I gently apply a generous amount of oil and then wash my face, which I found to be quite calming. It's great because you can use a lot of it for the price.
