Will it remove makeup and SPF?
Light makeup and daily SPF, yes. Waterproof mascara deserves a micellar first — then this as the proper wash.
Is it drying?
The opposite of the goal — sugar-derived cleansers and aloe keep the lather soft. If your skin squeaks after washing, your cleanser is winning; this one plays fair.
Is this a good first-ever cleanser?
It's exactly what we designed it to be — gentle, simple, no acids, no actives, nothing to overthink. Wash, pat dry, moisturise, done.
