    I bought this last summer and used it for a few months. Overall, I wasn't that impressed. It's simply an overpriced foaming cleanser that is also a bit over drying. I know PC puts a lot of extras...

    This is a good gel cleanser. I have oily skin and it was refreshing and worked well, but ultimately I like her Skin Balancing line a bit better.

    I really like Hydralight cleanser because it does what it says. It gets rid of the extra oiliness on my nose yet keeps my often dry cheeks lightly moisturized. I prefer to use Hydralight when I'm...
