This facial wash is a staple in our house. I keep spare bottles on hand so we don't run out. My husband uses this wash every day. He has oily skin, but few breakouts, and gives this product the...

I was using Paula’s Choice 2% Liquid AHA up until November and unfortunately, this product worsened my skin. Paula’s Choice has great customer service, though, and they refunded me without any...

This is an extremely effective product- if you have very thick, oily skin, you should try it out. It works wonders on blackheads on my nose and other areas that are super oily- but for the rest of...

This is great on my face. I have thick oily skin, with large pores. I use to break out but that has stopped. I wash with this and then use La Roche Posay Effaclar K. The combo of these two have...

I like it because it makes my face clean but I won't buy it again because it dries out my face and i don't think it helps with the little pimples .

I have been using the facial cleanser II for over a year now, so I decided to try something different. I wasn't happy with this, though. This cleanser was far too harsh on my skin - it actually...

I've been using this stuff for maybe four or five years now, and I'm only on my third bottle. You only have to use a tiny bit every time you use it, so it lasts a long time, which can help make up...

I am a life-long oily skinned, acne sufferer and had high hopes for this line but it did absolutely nothing for me even after months of use. I guess glycolic acid isn't my HG. I had better...

I really liked this at first, but ultimately it ended up being too drying. I gave it a "3" overall b/c I think it might be a nice cleanser for those people who have VERY oily skin and who are not...
