    Purity is the only cleanser that I've used that didn't sting my eyes when used close to the eye area. It's gentle, yet it removes all my makeup! It does leave my skin a bit dry, so I took off a...

    This is great as a makeup remover, takes everything off without much of a scrub. Great gentle cleanser, but don't expect it to help combat blemishes or problem skin, as it isn't formulated for...

    I am not sure of I like this cleanser - even though I am trying so hard to like it! (purely as it costs so much). I used it many months ago when I first got it, but felt it was a bit drying. Got it...

    Phenomenal for my dry, sensitive skin. I can use it winter and summer (when I'm a little more oily) without my skin feeling too greasy or too dry. Just perfect, smooth, moisturized skin! I do need...

    I really like it. I use it with my Clarisonic Mia 2. It removes all my makeup and leaves my face feeling clean. It does dry my face, but I don't mind because i have oily skin.

    I don't like this product at all. I've tried to like it but it irritates my skin every time I go back to trying it. I now use it to clean my brushes.

    I've used this for about five years now and find it doesn't stress my skin out, overly dry it, or have any strange smells. It's not strong enough for waterproof eye makeup, but for the rest of your...
