    This cleanser is sooo gentle. Gentle to the point I can wax my upper lip (he he) and then use this ASAP and feel no pain. WHEWW. It takes my mineral foundation off really well. So far so good....

    Not my favorite cleanser, but it's growing on me. Seems to be very similar to original Cetaphil. I use this in the morning sometimes, but for the end of the day, I just don't trust a nonfoaming...

    Hated this cleanser! It dried my slightly oily skin and it didn't remove makeup very enough. Plus, it seemed to irritate my eyes a bit. I prefer Sage's Facial Shampoo over this.

    This cleanser is just ok...it is gentle and I'll use up the sample but I really prefer Sage Facial Shampoo. I don't really care for the consistency and it doesn't take all my makeup off, but may...

    This is one of my basic every day cleansers. It does a good job of removing all my makeup (eye makeup included). My skin is very "combo" and can't decide from one day to the next which it is...

    I use this to help remove makeup or when my combination skin decides to have more of an oily day than a dry day. :) It doesn't necessarily remove ALL my makeup, but two washes usually does the...

    I found this product to be terrible. It did not remove any makeup which didn't help my oily/combination skin any..in fact it made me break out even more. The price ends up being quite expensive...

    This is a nice no nonsense cleanser for oily-acne prone skin. Will not break me out and does gentle cleansing. It does not remove my make up well, so I don't use it for that.

    I got a very generous sample from PC and thank goodness for that because I love this cleanser! It doesn't dry my combo skin, yet it takes off everything, even MAC Paints and waterproof mascara....

    Sadly, I found this just average. I'm comparing this to Awake's gel cleaner, and Awake's is far superior. This one doesn't foam (supposed to be better, but I don't think so) and doesn't really take...

    This feels really nice! It reminds me of my beloved Cetaphil, just that this is a clear gel. I think it will feel good in the summer. In the colder months my skin turn to N/D but this did not...

    This is my staple, everyday cleanser. It took a while to get used to the low foaming gel texture after using lathery cleansers for so long, but my skin has definitely benefited from the change. The...

    Though this cleanser was non-irritating, non-drying and didn't make me breakout, it also didn't get all my makeup off. It would be perfect for someone who wear's little to no makeup, but I found I...
