System Verdict
Textbook-gentle cleansing oil with solid barrier support, but the ‘Pine Cica + Probiotics’ actives are more marketing than meaningful in a rinse-off formula. As a cleanser, efficacy is strong where it matters: a rich yet non-stripping oil base plus proper emulsifier will reliably remove sunscreen and makeup, while the Centella triterpenoids and pine extract sit lower in the INCI and provide only transient, contact soothing rather than true treatment benefits; the probiotic story (glycoproteins) is underdefined and likely very low-dose, so the formula earns an A Tier for cleansing performance but only B Tier for any claimed ‘treatment’ effects.
