Is this cleanser good for dry skin?

Yes. It is built for dry and dehydrated skin, and most owners say their face feels soft rather than tight after washing. Very oily skin may find it too mild.

Does it remove makeup?

Only light makeup. It is best used as a second cleanse after an oil or balm cleanser, since the mild lather struggles with full-coverage makeup and sunscreen.

How do you use the powder?

Shake a small amount into wet hands, rub to a creamy lather, massage over the face and rinse. Using too little water leaves a grain.

Is it non-comedogenic?

Yes, it is labeled non-comedogenic, so it is formulated not to clog pores. It also contains hyaluronic acid for moisture.

How does it compare with Tatcha's Rice Polish?

The Rice Polish is a exfoliating powder with visible grain, while this one is a softer daily cleanser with a creamier lather. Choose this one if you want cleansing without exfoliation.

Is the 120 ml size travel friendly?

The powder does not leak, which makes it easy to pack. The 120 ml tub is a full-size container rather than a small travel vial, so decant it for short trips.
