Customer review: "I only use this in the morning as it’s so gentle and non-stripping, I find it just wakes up my skin. Not sure if I would use it to remove makeup as it doesn’t feel like it would be able to provide that deep of a clean but I do love how it makes my skin feel which is why I use it in the mornings. My skin actually feels moisturised and so soft and supple after using it, I can’t live without it now."
