    My HG cleanser for my sensitive skin. Great scent, doesn't overdry my skin, and it's not filmy like Cetaphil can be! It removes all of my makeup (except eye makeup, which I take off before). ...

    After months of using this, I was noticing milia, which I never had before. Stopped using this cleanser, milia all gone! I guess it just didn't get my face clean enough.

    I really was repelled by this cleanser. It felt like it left an oily film on my face. I tried it again thinking that it may have been my imagination but my face just felt yukky and greasy. I...

    Not bad for sensitive skin or dry skin. It's not my favorite, but its the only thing that doesn't irritate my skin when I have an allergic reaction to something or overdue it with acne medication....

    This is a simple light face wash. It would be perfect for someone with dry or very sensitive skin or someone who doesn't wear much makeup. That being said, it's almost too gentle for me and my...

    Awesome cleanser for dry skin. Works alot better than Almay milk plus. It washes off clean and doesn't leave a film, yet doesn't leave my skin feeling dry either.

    Didn't do a thing for my skin. Didn't cleanse, remove makeup, moisturize-- anything. I wouldn't recommend it.

    This is a very gentle cleanser. Good to use if skin is feeling extra dry or irritated. Otherwise, I would recommend this for those with dry skin because it does tend to leave a slight film, nothing...
