    My mom introduced me to the philosophy brand and I do like some of their products. As for this cleanser, I wish I could give it a 4.5 because it's almost perfect. Super gentle, your face won't feel...

    I wasn't sure how this would work with my acne-prone skin or my heavy mascara but it does. It removes all of my makeup really well and I don't feel the need to use a second cleanser afterwards....

    For some reason, this cleanser was very drying on my combination skin--my face feels really tight immediately after using it. That's the only thing keeping me from buying it again; otherwise, I...

    LOVE this cleanser. I have ridiculously dry skin, and this cleanser was the only one that I've tried that doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. It's supposed to be a 3-in-1 product: cleanser, toner,...
