I'd say this cleanser is middle of the road for me. Nothing remarkable but I can't really say anything to bad about it either. I got the cleanser as part of a kit and initially I wan't going to use...

I'm not keen on using face wash that is foamy and this isn't. It feels gentle and has a nice clean smell and does the job. I don't use heavy make-up daily, only mineral powder and this removes it...

Great cleanser. Doesn't dry out my skin and my skin is left really clean, no traces of make up. I would definitely re-purchase.

Doesn't remove makeup at all for me, leaves everything behind. I end up having to use a lot in order to be able to get anything off, and I don't use a lot of foundation. I also didn't like the...
