    I'm pretty much 100% sure that the cause of my acne for the past 8+ years was LIQUID FOUNDATION. Maybe it was just the types I was using, but I've used many and usually within a couple weeks I'll...

    After running out of my current facial cleanser I decided to be frugal and try something new. Well this soap was a bit too drying for me. Within a few days my face dried up and when I went to get a...

    This is a very good litle drugstore gem. I used it a while back before the Clinique 3 step came into my life. Would definitely recommend this.

    I didn't want to buy it because it was so cheap, but I did. What a great product! I used only a little bit and my face felt so clean. I don't break out often, but I have notice my face smoother...

    I've been seeing dermatologists since I was in 7th grade. Mine recommended this brand and I've been using it ever since. This is the only cleansing product that doesn't dry or break me out. So...

    After reading through all the reviews I have to mention, that products affect people differently. What works well for one person's skin, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you. Thats why...

    Smells funky, dried out my skin, and doesn't lather well. Wouldn't recommend.

    This bar leaves your skin feeling squeeky clean and oil free. I loved it until my face became irritated and crusty, I think its because I used it in conjunction with 10% bp every night (and I did...

    UPDATE: This product contains glycerin, which is guaranteed to cause me to break out. Even if it didn't contain glycerin I wouldn't use this product again. But, if you're not sensitive to glycerin...
