The gentle, milky texture is thicker than your average micellar, which is thin, clear and water-like. I like E-Rase because the white-ish formula feels like a true skin-enhancing treatment (it's actually a bit reminiscent of the "cream skin" trend coming out of South Korea).

You can feel hero ingredients like the 3-Ceramide blend immediately calming irritation. Other welcome ingredients like melon seed oil and sweet almond oil work to coat your skin with a surge of moisture, and vitamin E protects against environmental pollutants and free radicals. The blend is pH-balanced, so rest assured it's not stripping in any capacity. Personally, this factor is a big win because I'm currently on Accutane, an ultra-drying prescription acne medication.

While I tend to reserve this product for serious nighttime cleansing, I've been known to grab it in the AM for a quick sweep of antioxidant goodness before applying my SPF for the day. It also acts as a glowy pre-makeup base. Like I said, it's just that good. And for $28 it's certainly worth a try.
