I've been using this with my Clarisonic, since I wanted to avoid using any type of overly drying cleanser with it. It's a light, thin, white lotion that spreads easily over the skin and provides...

I've been using this product for at least three months now, I wanted to wait to review it until I'd been trying it for awhile. Frequently skin products will work on me for awhile and then it all...

This is my HG cleanser, I like that it is not drying but at the same time cleans away makeup and oil effectively. I also like the fact that it is fragrance and color free. It is gentle enough to...

This is a good simple cleanser. I started using Paula's Choice skincare right before I went on accutane because I wanted to keep it simple while I was on that stuff. This cleanser does a pretty...

Well, this is it. After years of trying every cleanser known to man I think this is going to be "the one". I always felt the need for my skin to be squeaky clean since my youth when my skin was...

This is my favorite cleanser. It's gentle but effective at taking off makeup. I occasionally try other gentle cleansers (Olay sensitive skin, nivea, cetaphil) but I always come back to this stuff.

This is my HG lotion cleanser. Not at all drying, and takes off my make-up really well. I sometimes follow with my Olay gentle foaming face wash if i want a clean feeling, and even then it isn't at...

I've been using this for about 4 years. It is absolutely the best cleanser I have ever used. I have dry, sensitive skin that is prone to rashes, hives, breakouts, etc. because of ingredients. ...

I ordered this cleanser with a lot of other Paula's Choice products, and it's the only one I don't like very much. It has a slick texture--a bit slimy if you ask me--and a really unfortunate...

I just love Paula's products. This cleanser does the rare thing -- gently cleans and removes even the most stubborn mascara. And it never dries me out. I always thought a taut, itchy skin meant a...

I found this too drying. Perhaps because I am a Retin A user. If I did not use Retin A, I would probably still find it drying. It was very drying on the first use. It did not take several days for...
