    This is a decent product, it does eliminate oil, but it is also stripping on all but the oiliest skin types. It worked well when I was in high school, but my skin has become a little sensitive in...

    Amazing. All I do is put on my wet face (it's like a lathering foam), I massage it into my skin, rinse... Voila. I never have acne breakouts.

    HG cleanser for me, as much as I don't want it to be. I love fancy, expensive products with gimmicks and have tried everything, but this simple face wash is the one that keeps my skin in line over...

    This is the only thing I keep on my sink. I've been using it for probably 10 years. It has a very, very light pleasant scent, I almost consider it unscented. It doesn't leave any films, it just...

    I don't know why this hasn't received a better rating. First off though a warning: this product is NOT for sensitive or dry skin types. It clearly states that it is for oily skin so unless you have...

    This is a good cleanser for oily skin. I wouldn't recommend it if you have dry skin. It removes everything. I wouldn't say it is entirely credited for keeping my skin clear since I use...

    Not going to buy again. Dried out my face, made it tight, and actually made me break out more. Not good for sensitive skin. Felt similar to ProActive crap.

    I think this is a decent cleanser for oily or acne-prone skin. Those with dry or sensitive skin may find it too harsh but it cleanses my face very well and I've never had any problem with it....

    This product is way too over drying for my sensitive acne-prone skin. Stay away if you have sensitive skin, or you will have the driest skin on the face of the earth!
