Almost everyone, which is exactly why it sells. Dry and normal skin get a comfortable first cleanse that does not strip; anyone wearing base makeup or a proper layer of sunscreen gets a thoroughness gel cleansers cannot match. Oily and blemish-prone skin often prefers the Purifying version. If you wear waterproof mascara daily, a balm like this is the most useful single addition to a routine.
2
Dry, flaky and winter-tight skin, and anyone whose skin feels stripped by lighter cleansing oils. It is gentle enough around the eyes for most people, which matters if you wear waterproof mascara. Oily skin can use it but often finds the shea content leaves more behind than it wants — a lighter ester-based oil suits that skin better as a first step.
3
Oily and combination skin dealing with visible blackheads around the nose and chin who want their first cleanse to feel light. It works well as a daily makeup-and-SPF remover for most skin types that are not actively dry. If your skin is dry or reactive, the acid content is not a problem in itself, but you will likely prefer a balm for comfort.
