    So I got really sick and my skin went crazy, so I read reviews and thought I would try this out (why I didn't just use Cetaphil, I have no idea now). I must have unbelievably sensitive skin because...

    I love Albolene! I would have never purchased this on my own but based on the recommendations from the skincare board I decided to try it. I have both rosacea and acne and the hypersensitive skin...

    After using Pond's classic cold cream for several weeks and loving the results but hating the scent, I decided to try Albolene Unscented. I got it on sale at Walgreen's for $9.99 (it's normally...

    Wonderful as a makeup remover, please don't use this as a leave-on moisturizer. It contains petrolatum (Vaseline). Stage performers once knew this promotes hair growth (my 73 year old mother, a...

    A great pre-cleanser when you have a lot of makeup to take off, but too heavy and greasy for a cleanser on it's own. Don't care for the packaging--couldn't they put it in a tube so you don't get...

    Okay, I bought this due to the reviews here. As people were saying how it "decongests" their pores ect. I tried that and broke out, no "decongesting" whatsoever. My skin even felt oily for days...

    Interesting product. I'm use to makeup removers, so I use this in the same manner. The Albolene seems to really pull the gunk out of your pores and cleans your skin right up. The slurry won't...

    Basically, I agree with all of the previous reviews of this product, good and bad. I really like this for what it is. For me, this is kind of a neater alternative to cleansing with olive oil or...

    This is the best makeup remover I have EVER used. I do follow up with a warm damp cloth and Juice Orgaincs Brighting Cleanser.

    While this is not exactly like washing your face with Vaseline, it is pretty close. I find the whole process of using this product very unmanageable and time consuming. I need <i>a lot</i> of...
