    I have oily skin and mild Rosacea and have to avoid irritating ingredients. This cleanser does not have fragrance, dyes, or other nasties. The detergent is Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which is...

    A boring product that does nothing for my skin - except trigger my eczema (just like the One-Step Cleanser for normal/dry skin). I definitely won't repurchase, especially since I've found that...

    Ok cleanser. Removed surface oil and makeup but I don't feel that it deeply cleans the pores well enough. Doesn't seem to help acne. Probably will not repurchase.

    This is a great cleanser, not too drying and removes all my make-up (even my colorstay foundation) I really like the package as you can travel with it and it doesn't make a mess like the pump style.

    This is my HG cleanser and I have been using it now for about 3 years. I occasionally try others, but come back to this time and time again. I don't like foamy cleansers, they strip my skin of...

    It really depends what you are after in a cleanser. Basically, it removes surface stuff in my opinion, but does not get deep into your pores. It is nice and gentle on my skin and does not burn,...

    I heard about Paula's Choice on MUA and decided to give it a try. I have normal skin with an oily t-zome (I usually re-powder about twice a day). After using this product for a few weeks, I think...

    This cleanser has a creamy thickish texture to it, but it will suds up a little. I prefer more suds. My face is oily in the summer and I need something that makes my skin feel clean after I have...

    I live in a very hot and humid climate. This product is excellent! It wasn't too harsh, didn't make my sensitive skin burn or itch, and didn't leave my skin feeling stripped. I pair it up with...

    Got a sample of this when I shamefully bought my BHA. More garbage skincare from Paula. Didn't remove my make up, left a residue feeling. Basically Cetaphil over the internet.

    This cleanser is gentle but effectively removes makeup, even eye makeup. I have oily skin and it works great to clean my skin without overdrying.
