    I LOVE this cleanser and am upset that it's not made anymore. If anyone has any left I'd love to take it off your hands!!! It burns like crazy but I've never had anything clear my face up within 3...

    Not a fan of this one! I got this at a past B&BW semi-annual sale a few years ago and have finally used up the bottle. This stuff burned my skin. I ended up using this on my back and it worked...

    I brought this cleanser because it was on sale at a Bath and Body Works outlet and I love clay based face products. I know that a lot of people are bothered by the smell. It doesn't bother me in...

    C.O. Bigelow went wrong with this one. This cleanser doesn't have a negative impact on my skin, but it provides a pretty unpleasant cleansing experience. The Gentle Oil-Absorbing Clay Cleanser...

    I have mixed feelings about this cleanser. I do feel that it was an error on C.O. Bigelow's part to call this a "gentle" cleanser. As others have commented, this cleanser DOES sting and dare I say...

    I like this stuff but it is Bigelow all over... well made but the front side of the label lies like a rug. Read the ingredients or else. It has sulphur so if it burns, stings, or smells like...

    I got this for $3.75 at BBW (on sale) and although this saps oil off your face, IT BURNS!! I think it's the rosemary oil...it has a sort of numbing effect, but other than that, this cleans your...

    Not gentle--how could it be? Read the long label--it has several alcohols in it, irritating oils, parabens, and acids I never heard of. It burned my face, did nothing for my pimples, because the...

    I bought this stuff on sale, for only about $4. I wouldn't re-purchase this because it doesn't do much for me. I mean, it didn't give me rashes/acne/etc, but at the same time, I didn't see any...

    I really like this cleanser. It didn't burn my face, and it took out all the oil on the oily parts of my face. Don't use this on dry parts of your face, because it will make them ever drier.
