    I love this cleanser! I use may cleansers and this is one of the best so far. A little goes a long way. The price is reasonable if you think that it will last a long time. You don't need a huge...

    Great cleanser for my combo skin prone to breakouts. I love the clean, fresh scent and a little goes a long way.

    This clenaser had a unique, pleasant "fruity" scent, but it left my skin incredibly tight and dry.

    I quite like this cleanser, which isn't that surprising because I have oily/combination skin all year round. What's weird is that my mum likes it, too, and she has extremely dry, sensitive skin...

    I have dry skin but with a T-zone so finding a cleanser that won't dry out my skin and that will take off all of my make-up is a big problem. This cleanser works pretty well. I haven't had any...

    Good frothy cleanser that's gentle enough for my sensitive skin. That being said, I didn't feel like this really did anything for my skin. My pores were still clogged I still had breakouts. ...

    This is touted as good for oily/combo skin, but I agree with previous reviews in that it is fairly drying. It didn't make my skin flaky, but I did feel taut. The scent is nice and refreshing and...

    Very drying. I think it's probably better for oily skin. My cheeks got so dry after using this face wash. Nice smell though.
