    This is a great cleanser for removing makeup. I use it every night and it makes my face very soft and clean without drying out my skin. This product rinses easily too and is highly recommended.

    This is my HG of cleansers. I have combo, acne-prone, sensitive skin that reacts to everything. I had the worst breakout is a long, long time last year thanks to the neutrogena at-home...

    My skin type: sensitive, normal/oily. This is a great cleanser if you wear makeup everyday. In other words, it is quite effective at removing makeup, but can be a bit drying on your bare face. ...

    (Late 40s, oily skin.) It took me a little time to adjust to the "scent" of this unscented product, which isn't initially at all pleasant, but I've persevered and now don't notice it. This is an...

    This cleanser did not work on my combination skin. It left my drier areas flaky and feeling tight. I was too lazy too return this and too cheap to throw it away, so I'm using it up as a body...

    I love this cleanser. My skin is combination sometimes and oily acne-prone at other times. This cleanses my face without overdrying. I find it gentle & non-irritating. The price isn't bad...

    I found this very drying. Paula says its for normal to oily skin but, it dried my face out terribly after 2 or 3 days. I was peeling. This product also stung a bit and I noticed my face was red in...

    It tended to make my face a little dry and I have very combo type skin. The worst part though was the SMELL-it reminded me of bile and made me nauseous after having it on for a while. I am glad I...

    Totally unimpressed. As the previous reviewer noted, it doesn't take off makeup super well. I have combo skin and it gave me dry patches. It just left my skin feeling odd. I didn't like it, but it...
