    I've tried this cleanser a few times. I am currently experiencing a breakout so I decided to try again because I know its gentle and respects your pH. However it made my breakout worse even though...

    This cleanser makes a huge difference if you, like me at that time, are struggling with oily skin, blackheads, breakouts and fighting those with harsh, mass-marketed products that are supposed to...

    A very average cleanser. Somehow I always have a feeling that it doesn't remove make-up/skin oil too well. And the scent reminds me of a mild dish washing liquid. The good thing is that it doesn't...

    I got this at SDM for $19 Cdn which I think is a sale price, I'm not sure what the regular price is without deals. It is ineffective in taking off my makeup but I just use MAC Cleanse Off Oil first...

    I got this as a sample with my daily treatment Effaclar K, which I use for four months now with good results. But I can't say that I am satisfied with the cleansing gel too. It dried out my skin so...

    I used this product about 4 years ago and it really dried me out. Although it may have been due to using the Obagi skin care system at thesame time. Not too smart. Anyway I just found my bottle of...

    I didn't feel like this did an adequate job in getting all of the grime off of my face. It made my skin really dry after using it, but my skin didn't feel clean. It's kind of a paradox... in...

    I don't know that this does much in terms of washing the face. It suds up very well, but I don't know how well it cleans. I've used a toner after washing with this, and removed makeup. Don't...
