I have about a half dozen other cleansers around the house that I picked up on clearance, coupon or free with purchase. (Confessed sale addict) I will try or use them once or twice out of desperation if I've run out of Cetaphil - but can't find anything else that removes the makeup, and especially, the mascara with such ease. No burning pain. Leaves kkin clean and soft. Use up the other stuff by putting it in the guest bathroom, or using it for handsoap...
