I have always used toothpaste. Works great and the cheapest off brands work just as good as any. I don't use the gel kind, but it will work too. None of that abbrasive stuff though. It may or may not scratch the tempered glass, but why risk it?

I can tell that I have bought a few masks that required 4 or 5 cleanings with toothpaste to get that silicone layer off the glass.

Now it could be me imagining things, but I have had better results letting it dry on the glass then washing off. The logic behind this is debatable :)

Anyway, I store my mask with toothpaste on the lens so I never forget.
 
Yes the best way to clean your mask is toothpaste (non-abrasive) of course,
but another piece of info after a while it might start fogging up again if so I have tried dish washing liquid detergent, I found that out from somewhere tried it and crap it worked. Any way safe diving
