    Although I absolutely love this product, it is extremely pricey! I cannot see myself repurchasing this as soon as it runs out. Possibly later on when I start to miss it. The texture is perfect,...

    I received 8oz of this cleanser with my Clarisonic. I didn't try it, however, until I saw a Philosophy show on QVC. This particular product was advertised as a "gentle" cleanser that "won't strip...

    This is another product I bought based on so many great reviews. I hated it! It made my skin oily and dull. I also do not like the scent.
