    I got a nice sized little bottle of this in a Sephora Points Perk. Although my skin is more "normal to dry" than oily or combo, I am really enjoying this cleanser now that it's suddenly...

    It's a great overall good gentle cleanser. Doesnt strip , not harsh. The issue is that there's equally good way cheaper options. From cetaphil or even Nuetrogena. If I was rich I'd buy no issue but...

    This is *okay*; I think it’s fine for combination to oily skin but being on the drier side it exacerbates things. It is very high in sulfates which gives it the foaming action yet can be drying. I...

    overall: 8/10 This is a decent cleanser. I got a free sample as a gift with purchase - it's a foaming gel cleanser, nothing too exciting. It contains SLS so if you have sensitive skin I would...

    Strips moisture more than fairy dishwashing liquid. Not at all a gentle cleanser. Read the expert review on beautypedia and find out what you are paying for. Very disappointed with this cleanser....

    One of the worst, stripping cleansers you can use. I was surprised to see cheap sulfates as the main ingredient. I have normal combination skin. This strips all the moisture out and leaves it...
