    That's a great cleanser for my acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin. It feels so very nice and soft when foaming it onto your face, and then when you rinse it off it leaves your skin feel soft and...

    It's an ok cleanser BUT the smell is so bad!!! Maybe it reacts on me because nobody has mentioned it... (smells like rotten cucumbers).

    lovely cleanser- used a friend's for a week before caving and buying my own. deliciously light (i can't bear harsh cleansers) leaves your skin feeling just squeaky clean enough and glowingly smooth.

    I like the face that it's soap-free and light. It was too light actually. It did not remove my makeup completely, ever. I like using it only in the mornings after I've showered to give my face a...

    Very effective, gentle cleanser; as others have said it takes all the makeup off and doesn't dry skin, ie, it's ok with BHAs and benzoyl peroxide treatment for acne. Annoyed that I can't find it in...

    This is by far the best cleanser I have tried. I love that it takes off all makeup so I don't have to use a separate makeup remover and it doesn't irritate my eyes. I don't find it drying like...

    Not a huge fan of this. I found it really drying and I never felt like my face was completely clean. I ended up breaking out from this too. It's sad cuz all the other effaclar products seem to work...

    Love it! My acne-prone skin is so sensitive, even Cetaphil for oily skin causes major dry flakes. I was using purpose, but felt it just wasn't getting the job done. Enter Effaclar. I saw it at...

    I like this cleanser better than the Avene (for oily-sensitive skin). This is colorless and doesnt have the strong perfume smell. A good basic cleanser at a reasonable price. My dermatologist...

    this actually works great. It is soap free so it doesn't dry out the skin. My skin does look nice and clear nowadays. Great product and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg.
