This feels great while I am using it, but it is too drying for my dry, sensitive skin. Fine product, but not for me.

of all the cleansers I have used this is the only one that ACTUALLY does what it says. Cleans my tzone without making the rest of my skin dry. Perfect. And who cares if it smells bad!! It works so...

A very basic, very good cleanser. It does not dry out my skin. It seems oily but does not make me break out. I think I will buy this again.

I didn't like this; it broke me out. For whatever reason, Paula's products always wreak havoc on my skin. I wished they worked because they are inexpensive!

I LOVE PC PRODUCTS AND THIS IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. IT DIDN'T LEAVE MY SKIN DRY BUT COMPLETELY REMOVED MY MAKEUP. IT IS ALSO GENTLE ON YOUR EYES. IS DEFINATELY WILL PURCHASE AGAIN.

This is the best cleanser I have ever used on my combination skin. It has little smell and very little lather whick is one reason I like it so much. I will definitely be reordering.
