BEST CLEANSER EVER!!! I've been using this in conjunction with the rest of the Extra Strength Clear system for about two years, and I'm never going back to anything else. Clears up the oily spots...

This makes my 40+ skin tight but it works very well in conjuction with the clear toner for my teenage daughter who has effectively got a new face since using these two products. I think the toner...

Good grief, this stuff killed my face. Used it in place of my acne.org cleanser one day, thinking it might be better. What a mistake. My face burned and was slightly red, and peeled for several...

This is a fantastic cleanser! I have had skin problems most of my life and I've always found cleansers for acne prone skin to be way too drying and tightening. This cleanser is exactly the...

This cleanser doesn't do any harm, but it hasn't cleared up my acne (have been using it for 2 months and am about 2/3 done with the bottle). My skin looks better since I started using it and I am...

This is a great cleanser for breakout prone skin. I always get pimples in the summer, but haven't had any since I used this. I'd only recommend this for oily skin though, since it did give me some...

The only cleanser I've found that leaves my skin clean, removes all make up, doesn't make my skin dry OR break me out. I have very, very sensitive skin and cystic acne. Currently using Differin...

A little disappointing. I liked this at first, but is irritating to my eyes (duh ....Triclosan), so I had to remove my eye makeup separately, which I don't usually have to do. I like that it is...

I've used a few samples of this cleanser. It's very gentle, but it leaves my face a tad dry... Might be a very good choice for someone with super oily skin. I won't purchase the full-size bottle,...

Great cleanser. You can use it to remove eye makeup because it is so gentle. It foams. It is clear. No fragrance. Rinses clean. Just wish it had a pump instead of flip top.
