    After all the bad reviews on here I was kind of scared to try this. I have oily/acne prone/sensitive skin and was afraid this would break me out. I tried it and first of all loved the consistency....

    Love the smell of this cleanser. Very gentle and soothing yet effective cleansing effect on the skin. Will be good if it comes with a dispensing pump.

    This cleans your skin very well, and removes all of your makeup in one swipe. I have to work a bit to get off my waterproof mascara, but the final rinse leaves my face sqeaky clean. I think it...

    Interestingly, I tried this in my early 20s and it did not work for me. At the time, I had really breakout prone and oily skin. Now, in my mid-30s, I have more combination skin with occasional...

    It's a decent face wash, but nothing special. The price tag is a big deterrent, but I do think a little goes a long way and sometimes you can find it on sale or with a special offer. It smells like...

    I'm not impressed with this cleanser. My main issue with it is that it doesn't do a good job of removing my makeup...which it says it's supposed to do. It hasn't irritated my skin or dried it out...
