    I have to weigh in here, even though I've only used it once, so take this with a grain of salt. I have received a lot of samples from Paula's Choice to try and find the 'right thing'. This cleanser...

    I've always had very oily skin, but ever since I started using benzoyl peroxide for my acne, my skin surface has become very dry. I am unable to use my previous cleansers formulated for oily skin...

    PROS: Gentle but somehow still thorough cleanser. (I get clogged pores, blackheads and flesh colored bumps easily. But this prevents them, along with my other products I use afterward.) I adore...

    Pros: To be honest, I can't think of any. CONS: I hate the consistency. It's just... inconsistent? It is described as a "water-soluble cleanser with the texture of a milky cleansing lotion"....

    I have previously used the RESIST optimal results cleanser and decided that I would try this instead as it is cheaper and you can get it in a larger bottle. This cleanser reminds me a lot of...

    This cleanser is creamy and spreads easily on my dry and sensitive skin. It doesn't rinse easily, though.
