This is another winning cleanser from Paula's Choice! It has a light gel texture that turns into a foam when in contact with water. It's very gentle and leaves my skin feeling clean. I do not find...

Straight to the point: I absolutely love the texture of this cleanser. Gel turning into foam - very satisfying. However I can’t use it regularly on my normal/dry skin, I feel it is unfortunately...

I got this as a free sample when buying other Paula's Choice products. I'm glad I got this free and didn't pay for it as it was a very underwhelming product. The reason why is it is not a...

Update: I gave the marks too soon. I do still think it's like cerave foaming but it does remove makeup way better than Cerave. Also a dime's worth is all I need because it is concentrated. Like...

I like this a lot, and I have sensitive skin. It’s a thicker gel and a little goes a long way. The scent is mild and not unpleasant as is the case with the Earth Sourced cleanser, which I love in...

I really wanted to like this. It removes makeup well without stripping the skin. However- beware if you have sensitive skin. Something in this made my skin red!!! I don’t get how they can claim it...
