description

A gel consisting of a non-foaming formula that thoroughly removes impurities without drying the skin. Its papaya and grapefruit extracts contain exfoliating properties that help to remove the build-up which is the cause of blackheads and pimples. The gel lessens skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its oil-free, non-lathering gel makes cleansing fuss-free.

    I'm in shock. I really did not expect this to work for me. I had tried MB's products about 10 years ago and wasn't impressed. But I'm always on the lookout for a HG cleanser and moisturizer that...

    I liked this cleanser at first. Even though I am use to foaming cleansers. It rinses well made my face feel clean. But I broke out after using it. Back to the store it went.

    Nice, all-around facial cleanser. It's a great price $12 for 8 oz. There is a slight scent, but scents don't really bother me. I have oily skin and it seems to do a good job of cleansing my face,...

    I was using this every night for quite awhile and it started drying my face out too much so I stopped using it. I may wait til the summer to see if I can tolerate it. Otherwise I liked it.
