    I thought it was ok similar to cetaphil but this didn't irritate me like cetaphil did. My skin didn't feel clean after using it, but I guess you could like this if you use other agressive products...

    I really really love this cleanser. For years, I've been searching for a cleanser that wouldn't burn my eyes, dry my skin out, smell funky, etc. Cetaphil was too emollient, and the foaming cleanser...

    I bought the whole PC skincare regime last summer thinking I'd love it, after all the raves I'd read, and this product did nothing for me. Her 1% BHA and moisturizer even broke me out and the...

    I like Sage's Facial Shampoo a little better than this because with PC I have to use more to really get all the makeup off. But the price is so much better for PC that I will continue to purchase...

    This is a staple. It may take some getting used to for those accustomed to lots of lather -- it has none. And its slippery gloppy consistency may turn off those who prefer milks or liquidy gels....

    I am really happy with the Paula's Choice products. I bought the trial size kit a while back and just bought the full sizes of everything. Some compare this cleasner to Cetaphil, but I disagree. ...

    I love that this cleanser is so gentle. To be honest, I was one of those misinformed consumers who believed that the only way to deal with oily/combination skin, was to use harsh, drying products....

    I got a sample of this and was amazed at how well it did clean my face. It took off most of my eye makeup and all of my face makeup. I was quite impressed until I noticed it started to dry out my...

    This is another Paula's Choice product that unfortunatly didn't work out for me. I think this is a good cleanser just not for me. I really like cleansers that foam and this one didn't. This...

    Why couldn't this cleanser have existed during my teen years?! I can't believe how good this works. So gentle, removes my makeup, and no drying. Did not dry out my cheeks, yet throughly cleaned...

    This is one of the two cleansers I use most often. I like this one because it does not have fragrance. It does a decent job of removing makeup although I'm sometimes surprised at the amount still...
