Love this cleanser for an affordable option that won’t strip your skin and leave it feeling tight. I do still double cleanse because I wear makeup. So I use an oil based cleanser and then this after I rinse off the oil.

If you are looking for mineral this is a good one. I do think it’s a little thicker since it’s mineral, but does stay matte for me!

These are great, they don’t cause any sensitivity for me personally. If you are new to any toner pads I would suggest to use every other day and just at night. If you use these, I suggest using after cleansing and before a milky toner
