    Recommended by my dermatologist, and I actually purchased it there. So mild and gentle, gets rid of everything and doesn't make my skin feel stripped. I have oily/combo and acne prone skin. ...

    I am in my early 40s and when I was in my teens and early 20s had terrible acne. As I got older, my skin improved but even now I've always had to put up with 1-2 spots on my face, usually on my...

    I've just used up this cleanser, and it was okay. It just didn't do anything for me skin. Also it's a little to drying for my combinated-dry-sensitive skin. A few weeks after starting using, my...

    A decent cleanser and I haven't any reactions to it. Word of a advice though, I find that I need to rinse my face with water a lot after using this as it generates a lot of suds and it leaves...

    This is surprisingly good, maybe just above average, not heart stopping, but does the job (too many commas yes I know! haha). It's gentle, effective at removing my face of the day and doesn't leave...

    Unfortunately this wasn't for me. Used it for about a week and developed very deep painful breakouts on my temples and eyebrows, so maybe I'm allergic to one of the ingredients? Lathers well and...
