This is great as a makeup remover, takes everything off without much of a scrub. Great gentle cleanser, but don't expect it to help combat blemishes or problem skin, as it isn't formulated for...

I am not sure of I like this cleanser - even though I am trying so hard to like it! (purely as it costs so much). I used it many months ago when I first got it, but felt it was a bit drying. Got it...

I really like it. I use it with my Clarisonic Mia 2. It removes all my makeup and leaves my face feeling clean. It does dry my face, but I don't mind because i have oily skin.

I don't like this product at all. I've tried to like it but it irritates my skin every time I go back to trying it. I now use it to clean my brushes.
