    I love this cleanser because it removes my make up completely in one wash. It also removes all the oil from a day out without drying out my skin. It's great for sensitive skin and does not break me...

    Overrated hype over a substandard cleanser fabricated by stores like Mecca to get people buying. Honestly people, it's not that good. Yes it removes most of your makeup (not all mind you)....

    This face wash is a creamy consistency that you massage into your skin; it doesn't lather. I bought a sample on a whim the other day & used it for the first time last night. It literally sucked ALL...

    This smells very chemically (to me) and burned my skin when I used it. I have very dry, sensitive skin. Did not work for me at all. Perhaps better for those that don't have sensitive skin. I cannot...

    Purity Made Simple is one of my favorite cleansers. I have oily skin and this removes all my makeup but doesn't strip my skin. It is a bit expensive considering that Johnson and Johnson Head to Toe...
