    This cleanser removes my makeup very well, makes my skin smooth and feels refreshing and gentle. No fragrance/scent, the only con is the price! Kinda pricey for the quantity. I use it along with my...

    About the third day after using this I ended up with cystic acne. I haven't had a spot as big as this one in many years. Also, I did not feel like it cleansed my skin thoroughly. Throwing it out!

    It seems I'm in the minority in terms of my experience and opinion of this product; I simply don't like it. Why? It aggravated my skin and, literally overnight, produced 2 pimples on my healthy,...

    One of my favorite cleansers (besides Fresh Soy Face Cleanse). Does not lather much because it does not contain a lot of sulfate. Keeps me from breaking out. I love it. Very soft and gentle.
