Fenty Skin Total Cleans'r Makeup Removing Cleanser
by Fenty Skin · skin_care
Editor's Take
Modern amino acid surfactants do the cleansing, but the synthetic dye cocktail and fragrance load pull it back toward conventional mass-prestige territory.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 6.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 4.4 / 10
- Sustainability: 4.0 / 10
The Verdict
The formula earns its Strong Efficacy band (7.8) by leaning on Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate , a Modern (6.5) surfactant system that removes makeup without the harshness of sulfates. Acerola and Green Tea extracts add antioxidant credibility at active levels. The trade-off: a full synthetic dye palette (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6), undisclosed fragrance, and petrochemical polymers drop the clean score to 4.4, disqualifying it from any natural certification path. It's a capable daily makeup remover for users who prioritize gentle cleansing over ingredient minimalism, but the aesthetic chemistry undermines the clean-beauty positioning the amino acid base suggests.
