SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Gel

I Love This Gel

First of all, to address the other reviewer's comment that it doesn't lather: it is not supposed to. What this is a makeup remover par excellence. A small dab will totally liquefy the most stubborn makeup, including waterproof mascara, and everything can then be rinsed of tissued off. By all means follow with a toner if your skin is oily, but for dry me a thorough splashing of water leaves me clean but not squeaky. This product is similar to cleansing oils, but has the advantage, being in a semi-solid gel state, of traveling well. I scoop up a tablespoon full and put it into a tester jar, then leave it in the office for a quick day-to-night makeover. And it's so easy to toss into a suitcase -- no spills -- and weighs nothing. I have been using this gem for over a year and would be without it.
