Merit Great Skin Double Cleanse Makeup Removing Cleanser
by Merit · skin_care
Editor's Take
One bottle doing both cleansing jobs usually means compromise; this one earns the shortcut with makeup-melting slip, mild rinsing, and no obvious formula baggage.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.1 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 10.0 / 10
- Sustainability: 9.0 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong: Jojoba Esters dissolve makeup while Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate and Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids provide a gentler second-cleanse finish. Clean is Exceptional, with no flagged deductions or concerns, and the gel-to-milk texture is backed by Modern technology. Sustainability is Very Good, though Isononyl Isononanoate keeps the blend from full COSMOS compatibility. A credible one-step substitute for an oil cleanser followed by a mild face wash.
