I HAD TWO OF THE DELUXE SAMPLES WICH LASTED ABOUT A MONTH. This cleanser will not change your pores in anyway despite what the label says. Despite the label though this is gentle and will not make...

I've been only using this cleanser for a week but I'm loving it already, it's similar to the consistency of the hydralight cleanser, and it refreshes skin, leaves it smooth, bright and comfortable,...

Did not like this at all. I love what Paula stands for, but this cleanser was not what I expected it to be. If you use BP you have surface dryness and this added to the dryness on my skin. It also...

If I could give this product 10 stars, I would. I tried two of the cleansers from Paula's line and this one for me personally is a keeper. I tried the Hydralight with lactic acid and Skin...

I hate that I love this product. On first use--and on the rare occasion sometimes later--this product burns my skin after using it, especially drying out my lips & around my nose. However, 90%...

**I found out I can't use Propylene Glycol, and possibly Butylene Glycol. It took a long time to figure out. This doesn't have PG or BHA so maybe that's why this one was ok for me. However, I don't...

This is a great cleanser, every time that I stray my face ends up in a mess (sorry Cerave). Lesson learned. Now I always keep spare bottles. It is a clear liquid that foams and rinses easily. If I...
