Where the call changes.
CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY WHEN
- A no-rinse direction does not guarantee that every user will like the residue.
- Repeated wiping can create more friction than a brief rinse.
WHAT WE ARE NOT CLAIMING
- There is no standardized, comparable measure of greasiness, stickiness, stinging, absorption, film, or pilling.
NOTE 03
HOW TO READ THIS NOTE
Evidence without theater.
This page makes an editorial call from documented context. It does not claim a product was owned, used, ranked, or independently tested. Manufacturer statements never become our results.
