    This was my second try of this cold cream type cleanser. My skin is very dry and post-menopausal so I was looking for a creamy type cleanser that would remove all of my makeup. This does do that...

    Well, I have not quite figured out exactly how best to use this product, but I'll review it anyway. I am a Retin-A user and also use Cetaphil cleanser, Neutrogena Extra Gentle cleanser, and...

    Albolene is my winter cleansing holy grail. I decided to try it after my mother (who has gorgeous skin and gets carded at 44) recommended it to me when I was complaining about dry, flaky skin...

    Wonderful remover/cleanser...Has the consistency of Vaseline due to the obvious petroleum content but liquifies on your skin(something Vaseline doesn't do)Removes all traces of makeup without...

    This stuff is just like vaseline, but liquefies on contact with skin. I use it as an exfoliant-- sounds weird but it works. I take a little scoop out, about three fingers' worth, and massage it...

    I've been using this product for years. I have dry skin so it doesn't make me break out. However, I did start to worry about clogging my pores, so now I just use it as an eye makeup remover. My...

    UPDATE: I've found that with frequent use, my skin becomes irritated- I think it has to do with my removal method. Can still use this occasionally when I want a deep clean, but it's not a daily...

    This is a great cleanser. Regular detergent cleansers break me out and irritate my skin. This cleanser is very soothing and moisturizing. I have oily breakout prone skin and I find this very...

    Great for removing waterproof sunscreens and heavy makeup. Both mineral oil and petroleum jelly are non-comedogenic (will not cause you to break out), so oily/acne-prones can safely use this...

    Great makeup remover. I maasage in on dry skin and then use damp cotton wool pads to wipe off. I wash afterwards with cetaphil for Normal/ dry skin as I like the fresher feel. So far so good. ...

    This is a fabulous find of a product and I am surprised that more people have not reviewed this gem of a cleanser. I agree that if used in the prescribed manner (apply to skin and then tissue off)...

    This is my HG makeup remover. I got the tiny tub of this at Walgreens for 25 cents, and it's lasted me about 6 months! I love this stuff, for me it removes makeup better than anything I've tried....

    I dislike that Albolene comes in a tub but since it is so thick I doubt it would come out of a tube. Albolene is a very thick and greasy cleanser made of mostly petrolatum and mineral oil. However,...

    My oily skin turned dry overnight. At age 38 I guess I should've been expecting it. Anyhow, my 82 year old grandmother has been using this stuff for years and her skin is beautiful. I bought the...

    This was the oddest item--very greasy, soothing, but it makes you want to wash again after using it! Too greasy for eye makeup removal--leaves film.

    This is the most repulsive thing I have ever put on my face!! Awful, awful, awful. Save yourself the trouble of buying it and just rub vaselline all over your face. Blecht!
