The new formula with Maybelline Total Clean express is Oil-free so it’s safe fro Oily acne prone skin. I hope the new one is as good as or even better than the previous version.

I adore its fully functional packaging as I like to spray it directly on the face with that spray dispenser. I need to shake the bottle well before using it for makeup removal, sop that the ingredients mix well and work better for removing makeup. It effectively removed even the toughest of makeup like Waterproof Mascara, Smudge proof eye liner and tinted lip sticks and lip stain from lips. It didn’t sting my eyes, so its safe for eye makeup removal as well
