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.

    The best cleanser I have used. Have been using it for three months now and my skin has been so much better. Its not drying and doesn't make me breakout.

    Good for summer when my skin is oily. Removes make up and leaves the skin fealing nice and fresh. But as I said, my combination skin doesn't like this in the winter.

    This is a great gentle cleanser that actually removes all my makeup without totally drying out my face, unlike Cetaphil which leaves half my makeup still on. Plus, Mario Badescu products are...

    I miss this cleanser. I keep trying other cleansers to take its place when I try to experiment with other products but I always seem to miss this. This takes off make-up completely the first wash...

    This worked suprisingly well. I'm not used to gel cleansers and had a hard time rinsing around my hairline no matter how careful I was or if I used toner afterwards. Definately made my skin look...

    Like so many product junkies I've tried countless cleansers. This one is probably the best, though, for my frustrating kind of skin. I'm prone to blemishes and have oily skin that gets dry...

    This product reminds me of Cetaphil way too much and the thing is I don't care for Cetaphil. This product tends to leave a residue and doesn't make my face feel clean. And don't let this sucker...

    This cleanser was refreshing at first, but became quickly too striping and made my face too thigh, even the oilier areas (I have a combo skin). Plus, the scent isn't really pleasant and this...

    I really like this cleanser. I think it's very gentle. I have oily skin and it does a good job of leaving it soft and not greasy. I wish it did a better job of removing eye makeup but other than...

    I didn't like this cleanser at all. It made my face feel oily, and it didn't suds up at all. I just didn't like the texture, and I can't see any noticeable difference in my skin.

    I used to think this was good but since switching to Cetaphil I realize just how stripping this was. Not a product for sensitive skin, as it claims to be.

    Hm. Even though I prefer foaming cleansers, this one is really impressing me. Got the nicely sized sample version so I've been using it for about a week. It leaves my skin refreshed and smooth. ...

    Can't decide if I like this. It doesn't foam, so I prefer the glycolic cleanser; it's cheap so I prefer this gel to the glycolic cleanser. I can't tell if it hurts my eyes--I never let cleanser...
