This is my night time cleanser. It takes all my makeup off, including eye makeup and doesn't sting my eyes. I am always trying new cleansers, only to keep coming back to this one. It has a nice...

I have normal skin, turning normal to slightly dry in the winter. This cleanser turned my face into a dry, flaky mess. Very disappointing, since my skin can usually tolerate most cleansers. I...

I love this cleanser...It's cheap, gets the makeup off, foams up nicely, and the 16oz bottle is lasting me ages...I bought it about 3 months ago, and I'm only half way through the bottle. This also...

I buy this over and over by the pint. I wash my face a lot, and this is perfect, it leaves my skin clean and soft and is full of antoxidants and no irritation by heavy fragrance.

I used to use one step face cleanser for years, but switch to this one for almost a year now. It's creamy, gentle, removes water proof sunscreen better than one step face cleanser (gel). I usually...

This cleanser lathers nicely and cleans well. It removed my non-waterproof mascara and lip stain easily. It rinses easily and leaves my skin feeling soft. It does not sting my eyes. It smells...

After reading the reviews I actually expected this to smell really really bad, but suprisingly, the smell is very mild. Sure it doesn't smell nice and flory, but it also doesn't smell unpleansant....

This face wash was nice because it was creamy and it lathered really well and felt nice on the skin. However I don't think it did a good job of cleaning my skin. I used make up remover pads on my...

I wanted to love this product and for the first week or so that I used it, I thought it was just what it stated. It does remove makeup, oil and dirt well so 5 lippies for that. I took one off...

This cleanser is very ordinary and definitely not worth the cost (when you factor in shipping and handling). If you like Cetaphil's oily skin cleanser, then you will probably like this. But it made...

This is such an amazing cleanser. I buy the huge 16-oz bottles, which last for ages and ages because you don't have to use very much! It's unfragranced and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, yet...

I had to buy some of Paula's BHA lotion recently and threw this in the cart since I was running low on cleanser. Wow, I am pretty impressed. This may well replace Philosophy Purity as my favorite...

Dried out my skin and made me burn. My cousin swore by it so she got me some...I tried it for about a month because everyone said it takes time to work...well it didn't work.
