    This was the best cleanser ever for drier sensitive skin! I am still mad this has been discontinued. It was creamy, luxurious, and it worked. I am am especially peeved because the new Ultra...

    This is my new favorite cleanser. It's very similar to Cetaphil in consistency and texture, though a lot less watery. I use it after removing my makeup with Garnier micellar water. It doesn't foam...

    Cheap and good. Doesn't irritate my rosacea skin! And also didn't dry my skin out.

    I really liked this remover and used it to remove mascara. Within a few hours after using it I suddenly had red itchy welts under my eyes. I went to the doctor who told me to use 1% cortisone...

    This is a gentle, creamy cleanser for sensitive, dry skin that isn't stripping and doesn't break me out. It doesn't leave any greasy residue. It's not really that great at cleansing though - even...

    I have normal to dry, sensitive cheeks that generally dictate which products I can or can not use on my face. Granted, this cleanser didn't make my cheeks burn, but it also didn't do much of...

    This cleanser to me feels very similar to Cetapils cleanser. It's the milky lotion type of cleanser thats more suitable for dry sensitive skin. In the winter my combination skin becomes drier and...

    The name is true to its word, it is indeed extra gentle. It does not foam and it has the texture of a moisturiser and feels like you are applying a moisturiser on your face. It makes me feel like I...

    I have super sensitive, combination skin and this made me break out. I also had a ton of those tiny bumps under the skin. It's cheap and it seems to work for others, but unfortunately, it's going...

    This dried out my skin and made it itchy, red and flakey. I think I am sensitive to the Chamomile in it as I have reacted to a Weleda product with Chamomile before. Contains parabens.

    Fragrance free, non-foaming, lotion type cleanser. I usually use this as a pre-cleanse to remove sunscreen and blush, then I follow up with a foaming cleanser. On lazy-bare-faced-days, just this...
