    this is a really nice cleanser....i use some of her other products for treating my skin but this is a nice cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin but leaves it feeling clean.

    Love it! Just like cetaphil but gets all of my makeup off. Slightly more drying than Cetaphil too, which I like since I have combination skin. Great product, I am on my 3rd bottle and will...

    This does a better job of removing makeup than Paula's Normal to Dry cleanser without being as drying as the Normal to Oily version. Unlike her other cleansers, it foams, though not a lot. I...

    As many of you know I think Paula is fantastic. Unfortunately this is my least favorite of all her cleansers and I've tried them all over the years. Lovely pearlescent texture but it seemed to...

    This cleanser does a great job of removing makeup and oil from the face. Yet it doesn't leave the skin feeling dry. In fact, it seems to leave a slight film behind that I don't like. I prefer...

    I am in love with this cleanser. It's gentle and soothing, yet it really cleans deep down and removes mu. Also leaves my combo-to-oily skin feeling balanced after using it. I hated other PC...

    This cleanser was pretty good, but I could never really get it to lather, and I have to have lather! Otherwise, it was OK, but I won't RP.
