The gel-cream texture is similar to that of CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, $14.99, arguably the most viral cream cleanser on TikTok. If you’re an R29 regular, you’ll know I enjoy using this. It’s kind to reactive and sensitive skin, works to dislodge makeup and leaves skin feeling soft, not like it might crack at any moment. I did notice one key difference, though: The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Cleanser sliced through my thick mascara in one fell swoop, whereas CeraVe’s always requires a double cleanse to melt everything away. For this reason alone, I’m more likely to reach for the Glycolipid Cream Cleanser. Anything that shaves even a minute off my skin-care routine gets my vote.
