    Love, love, love this cleanser! I first got it as a gift set, and I fell in love with this cleanser once I tried it. I have combination skin. This product is very creamy and won't dry your skin,...

    seriously, no idea what the hype is about. every single aveeno cleanser I've tried is just as good, if not better. this is nothing special, too expensive and the packaging stinks (no pump).

    Purity Made Simple just ended up being nothing spectacular for me. I had high hopes of this being a great all in one kind of cleanser that would take off make up, even eye make up with one...

    I used to use the foaming version of this cleanser because it was a gift from my boyfriend. I usually prefer foaming cleansers as I feel they clean better and don't leave a residue. However, that...

    I love the way this smells first off. It doesn't lather much, which I also love. (too much lather=skin being stripped) It's a perfect combo of milky and slight lather. More milky. And not...

    Very gentle cleanser for sensitive skin. It does have a lot of botanical ingredients in it, so it could cause a reaction for some people. It isn't a foaming cleanser, but if you massage it in as...

    If you need a gentle cleanser I would recommend a Cetaphil or Cerave cleanser. This cleanser does a better job removing makeup, but it's not spectacular. I can't justify they price. I have...

    This is pretty average for me. On the plus side, it doesn't strip my face and leave it dry and tight like some other cleansers. On the downside, it doesn't remove all my make up, it doesn't have...

    This cleanser is nothing special, definitely not worth the price. Doesn't feel like my face is clean after using this.
