    I've been using this for about 3 months now with my Clarisonic MIA. While at first I thought this cleanser was going to be HG, after the first few months I fell out of love with it. It seems to...

    This is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. It's so rare that a products does exactly what it claims on its packaging. I use this twice daily and it leaves my skin wonderfully clean, free of...

    So... There's so much I could say on this product. For starters, the smell is absolutely fantastic! I always love facial cleansers that have that somewhat herbal, lemon, mint scent! It just seems...

    This product is the equivalent of toothpaste for my skin- white, foamy, and leaves it feeling squeaky clean. Seriously... squeaky clean. I have super dry skin, so I am not sure why I was given a...

    If you noticed, I choose not to purchase this product again. And that is for one reason: It's for COMBINATION skin. The all caps may be misleading; I'm not angry, but this product is truly not for...
