I received a large sample at the Lunasol counter on July 25, 2023, and liked it so much I decided to buy the full product. Its makeup removal was neither good nor bad. I think it might be better to have a spot remover for glittery eyeshadows. The finish is highly moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling plump. The balm and oil give it a thick consistency, reducing friction. I feel like this cleanser removes blackheads more effectively than other cleansers. I'm not sure if it's due to the skincare products I'm using, but my nose pores have become noticeably cleaner! I hope it also clears up the blackheads on my chin, which I've been bothered by. I absolutely love the salon-like scent. I really like this cleanser and would like to repurchase it, but the price is a bit of a problem... I might repurchase it if I can't find another cleanser I like. Added below: October 31, 2025: Rating increased from 5 stars to 7 stars. I'm currently subscribing to this product. I think I've already purchased over 10 bottles. I've tried several other cleansers, but this one was the only one that removed my makeup (not too light, not too heavy, and my mascara was waterproof), left my skin feeling smooth after use, was frictionless, and cleaned my pores. After continued use, my clogged pores and blackheads were also cleared, and I think it's the perfect fit for my skin and lifestyle. It's expensive, but I'll definitely buy it again. LOL
