    One of the only products that cleans my acne prone, dry, sensitive skin without breaking me out or making my eczema flare up! Fragrance free and my face feels clean and soft when I am done!

    It could not remove my water-resistent sunscreens. Other than that, it cleanses very well. I have sensitive, dry skin. Using this cleanser twice a day was too drying and too harsh for me (it...

    I started out using this cleanser, and though I liked it and still like it, it doesn't seem to do a very good job at removing m/u or oil. Still, it didn't dry out my skin and left it very soft. ...

    My skin has been drier this year than normal and I have been trying to find a cleanser that does not leave my skin tight. I like the Caudalie Instant Foaming but the price is higher. PC is a gentle...

    This is a nice cleanser if you have oily skin, but I actually find the skin balancing which is made for oily skin less drying then this cleanser which is suppose to be for dry skin. I will...

    This is a great cleanser. Very soothing and takes all all my (limited) makeup. Leaves your skin very clean without being tight.

    despite the claims that it's for normal to dry skin, my face still feels tight after cleansing. the smell is rather pleasant and it removes makeup thoroughly but a bit too harsh for me.

    This inexpensive facial cleanser is just right for sensitive skin when plain old Cetaphil isn't enough. And it's a bargain, even with the shipping. I was paying $30 for an 8 oz bottle of another...

    My HG cleanser. The milky formula removes all my makeup and doesn't dry my skin.

    This is a fairly good cleanser if you have skin like mine -- dry, sensitive esp. in the winter time. I'd normally give this an enthusiastic thumbs up if not for my holy grail find -- Cetaphil...

    This is a very good cleanser for normal/oily skin. It effectively removes all makeup without stripping skin. It is not really suitable for very dry skin.
