Honest Beauty Magic Gel-to-Milk Makeup Melting Pre-Cleanser | Pink Caolin Clay + Rose Water | EWG Verified, Dermatologist Tested, Cruelty Free | 4 fl oz

I’ve been using this now for 6 years and since I don’t need diapers anymore I order it from Amazon. This cleanser is so good. I like the scent (slight rose water scent) and the gel texture. I love to use this for a double cleanse. Will rub cleanser over my dry face to get it working on the makeup including my eyelids and eyelashes. Do a rinse and then the second time I let it get milky and rinse well. It gets my makeup off and my skin is gloriously clean but not dried out. I’m also letting my tween daughter cleanse with it. I do think the clay in it helps with acne even. All in all a great product!

This is my second or third time purchasing- I used to get directly from the Honest site until they discontinued their monthly bundle subscription. I have sensitive, clog-prone skin and I wear physical sunscreen daily. I use this as my only cleanser, not as a pre-cleanse. The instructions on the bottle and box are different so what I do is moisten my hands, put a little in my hands and then rub it on my face. I remove it with a wet baby washcloth. This gets everything off. I recently started trying it on my eyes and it works well for mascara too- I have not tried it with waterproof mascara yet. It's rare that I re-purchase skincare items because my skin hates most things and I am always looking for something better. It's a testament to this product that I have ordered it more than once.

This is great as a wash and has no toxic ingredients on the label however as a make up remove it is kind of questionable. I tried to clean off my make up with this wash alone and I followed up with a make up wipe and it showed a lot of make up the wash did not properly clean off. I had to follow up with micellar water to clean off everything. I would say get a cleaning oil or balm to remove make up first then follow up with this wash.

I love this product! Granted I am not a make-up user so I don't have to worry about that while using it... Otherwise it is very gentle with basically no scent, and yes there is an "oily" feeling to it on your face while using but as soon as you dry your skin after washing you cannot feel it anymore and your skin is silky smooth. I love this cleanser and the way it subtly goes from gel to a milky foam, it's just nice to use. Will definitely buy again. Cheers!

It is a very gentle gel. It isn't for oily skin or even combination skin. It leaves a residue which I then use a normal cleanser (nuxe is my current favorite) to get that off. I want to love it but it isn't good. It has no scent that I noticed.

I have conbination skin and I usually have issues with my cleansers stripping my face after a few weeks of usage, but I love to double cleanse. I have been using this for about 2 months now and it leaves my face moisturized I like that it has no fragrance as well. Please keep in mind that this is a pre-cleanser so you still need to use another cleanser after. I’ve been combining this with the Peach & Lily power calm hydrating gel cleanser and it does get all my make up off. On the days I only use sunscream I use it by itself.

This stuff does not remove makeup, and skin doesn't feel clean afterward, even when not removing makeup. It doesn't leave skin with a good clean feeling at all. I was very excited to try this, but it was a huge waste of money. If you have oily skin, do not use this as it has Coconut Oil in it. It does not lather up at all, which is why it has a "milky" consistency. It does not rinse off clean. I ended up having to wash my face after using this. So disappointing, considering it's not inexpensive. I do not know if I would purchase anything else from this line again.

I double cleanse and I think this works well for my first step to remove oil-based impurities such as waterproof makeup, SPF and sebum. I saw this on Jessica Alba's video on Harper Bizarre's "Go to bed with me" series. She actually uses this first and THEN her foaming cleanser. The texture of this is like a thick gel that does get milky with the addition of water, just like other oil cleaners I use. It works well to dissolve my spf and waterproof mascara, then I use my second cleanser (water based cleanser). If you don't use a second cleanser, you will have a film, much like any other oil cleanser.The website directions says this --How to use: Use on wet or dry skin. For difficult makeup removal, massage cleanser onto dry skin, then rinse with warm water. For regular use, massage cleanser onto wet skin as the gel turns to milk, then rinse with warm water.The directions don't indicate your face will feel squeaky clean. They say "for difficult makeup removal". Most low star ratings on this item are because people do not understand the double cleanse concept. This product is 5 stars if you use it in the manner it was designed to be used.
