I hate this cleanser. I didn't have acne as a teenager and when I hit my 20's I started breaking out. The claims this product had seemed to suit my needs (exfoliate, soothe and treat) and because I...

Hands down the absolute worst facial cleanser I have used. I never knew what it felt like to have parched, flaky, irritated skin until I used this product (my skin is oily and a bit sensitive). I...

I absolutely love this product. I had hit the mid 20s acne breakouts, and was horrified. I tried Dermalogica's Clearing Skin Wash, and within a few days, my skin cleared! Didn't dry out my skin,...

I've noticed a difference in my skin when I use this cleanser. It really does prevent blemishes, but you have to use it consistently. Whenever I stop using this, my skin breaks out even more. I...

I liked using this the first 3-4 days but then it dried my face. It's just too harsh for my skin and I would return it if I could. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has sensitve skin.
