    Absolutely love this cleanser, but would like to try something similar to this one which is more easy to get - drugstore. I've been using this cleanser for about 2 years now, leaves my skin clean...

    I tried a few samples of this and thought it was OK. Not a bad product but maybe not the best for me, either. I'm a bit hesitant to use this cleanser regularly since it has some ingredients that...

    A great basic cleanser for sensitive skin. It removes makeup easily and rinses off without leaving a residue. I took off 1 lippie because it has to be ordered online.

    I bought a sample of this. It is an opalescent liquid cleanser that foams with water. I found it didn't foam very well, though it did clean my skin and left it feeling soft, without either being...

    I have used this cleanser for five years. It is very gentle, no scent, takes off make-up and feels nice. I love this cleanser. I've also tried Cetaphil, but the smell bothers me.

    I've tried this cleanser off and on for several years, but it doesn't suit my skin. First, unlike other PC cleansers, I could not use this around my eyes to remove eye makeup because of stinging...

    I bought this cleanser as Paula's Choice currently has it at 50% off for the large size. Perhaps they are reformulating it? Anyway, I think it is pretty good, but it definitely lacks any sort of...

    I really like this cleanser. It does a great job at removing makeup and it doesn't irritate my eyes. If you buy the larger bottle, it isn't that expensive either.
