gentle cleansing water indeed [SEP] not bad for gentle cleansing water i was able to remove a lot of impurities and not irritate my dry sensitive skin however it is soap free but when i took the bottle out it started bubbling i think you can see them in my picture and it felt like a lightweight liquid soap i double cleanse so it does not matter if there is residue but i do not think i wouldn t leave it on without rinsing after it is still really good cleansing water for the price point
