    A great clear gel cleanser. I have moderately oily skin and apparently clear gel cleansers are the way to go for oily skin. Saw improvements in my skin tone the moment i used it! Its a great...

    Wow! That's all I can say. Almost. This gel cleanser had a positive impact on my skin after a single use. My face looks balanced and less ruddy. I love it. I found this tucked away at Longs and...

    General: An easy staple for my cabinet...it does not dry my skin out and leaves it feeling clean and looking clear. It is very good at gently ridding my skin of end-of-the-day make...

    I got this in cleansing foam. It helps with oil control, especially during the summer. While it reduces oil production, it does not strip the skin dry like some other cleanser and i haven't been...

    I have used tons of cleaners and so far, this is my favourite! It really helps my superoily skin to stay smooth and clean. I got this as a (big) sample but will definitely buy the entire bottle!

    While this cleanser works well - it's rather pricey and honestly think you can probably find another cleanser that gets the job done well without paying so much. That being said - it does get my...

    I don't even have acne prone skin but I really like this cleanser. I'd say my skin was pretty 'normal' but for a cleanser designed for acne prone skin, this is gentle and not over stripping at all...

    Got to be one of the greatest cleansers I have used. I used to use the Dermalogica Medibac Clearing face wash designed for acne/blemish prone skin, but I found it to be far too expensive in the...

    A fairly good alternative for the pricier Phytomer purifying cleansing gel. It gets my make-up off without too much hassle and leaves my skin feeling fresh and tight. I do use a moisturizer...

    I have oily skin, and this helps control. I don't think it really does anything for my acne though. But it leaves my skin really clean, it removes all of my makeup and i kinda like the mild rose...

    When I first used this, I thought it was great--it lathers up really well and you only have to use a very tiny amount. However, after using it for a couple of weeks I realized that it's much too...

    It says the product is soap-free however SLS is it's second ingredient! This is why it strips/removes everything from the skin and leaves a unpleasant squeaky clean tight feeling afterwards. ...
