    I like this gel cleanser. It reminds me of the Sukin sensitive cleansing gel in terms of feel and performance but it is bit less fragrant and smells nicer. My skin is clean and a bit tight after...

    Pumped stopped working for me so that sucked. But either way I did not have a good experience with this. It dried out my combination skin so you should be very very oily for this kind of product....

    I've been using this for about a year now, and I am pretty pleased! It doesn't dry my skin out, and it keeps my oiliness at bay - for the most part. It keeps my skin clean, I'm not breaking out...

    It had helped to prevent my hormonal breakouts, also it doesn't dry my skin as much as other cleansers.

    Where do I start? It's not offensive smelling like everything else from the Effaclar range it's clinical but regular. It is refreshing and very gentle so I end up slathering on more, foaming up...

    I like this cleanser. It makes my face feel great and clear.. It deep cleans which I like. I like. The fragrance but I'd prefer if it wasn't there.

    This cleanser is mild and not too drying. It's not medicated, so don't expect it to clear acne by itself, but it is gentle enough to be used in conjuction with acne treatments. The good thing about...

    I've been using this for several months in conjunction with the clarifying toner. The overall effect: drying, and it doesn't prevent breakouts AT ALL. I really expected more from this brand.

    Firstly i hate the grassy scent this has. But the gel itself does its job. Removes make up well. I don't think it does anything to decrease sebum. I haven't been using this long enough to say if it...
