The only drawback is that it doesn’t always rinse completely clean and does tend to leave a residue. I recommend using this as step 1 of a double cleanse routine.

Pros:

• Smells really nice if you do like scented products — it has a light peach scent that isn’t overpowering.
• At just $6.50 for 2.46 oz, it’s the least expensive product on this list.
• Cruelty-free and vegan
• Removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen well

Cons:

• Does contain fragrance; not suitable for skin that’s sensitive to fragrances
• Can leave a residue if not rinsed really well or followed up with a second cleanse
• Not all drugstores carry W7 products
