    I just love this cleanser. The price is right and it removes all of my makeup (I do not wear waterproof). My skin feels clean after. I have repurchased this so many times now I have lost count. It...

    I give this high marks, but I probably won't buy it again, except for use in the hottest and stickiest days of summer. My face is just too dry the rest of the year, I guess. It is like...

    This is my new staple winter cleanser. My skin is acne-prone, and while it's oily in the summer, it tends to get dry and flaky in the winter. This cleanser leaves my skin feeling soft and NOT dry,...

    I briefly used this semi-opaque gel when my face turned to desert last winter. It did the job, didn't irritate, didn't clog and left my face silkier than the normal/combo cleanser. Very good,...

    It claims to clean face from make up and not leaving the skin dry. Well, it leaves my skin dry and taut after I use it, and sometimes there are still makeup patches left!! especially under-eye...

    At first I thought I found my perfect cleanser, but after using it for a while, I noticed that it still dries my skin out a little. I will be using this in summer, but in winter when my skin is...

    Even though I have combo, acne prone skin - I prefer this cleanser to the normal/oily one. I find it less drying and it takes off my makeup better. Love this cleanser.

    Great gentle, fragrance-free, dye-free cleanser that really does get off the dirt and makeup, although I still use eye makeup remover for the mascara. There isn't any residue left over when I...

    After reading so many reviews here and recs on the boards, I decided to give Paula a chance. Even though my combo skin is way more oily than dry, it can be sensitive and many products tend to...

    This has been a staple for the past 4 years. I keep trying out other cleansers but still come back to Paula's! I love the fact that it removes my makeup/cleanses with out stripping my skin. I don't...

    I love this stuff! There's something in the Skin Recovery line that irritates my (overly sensitive) eyes, but I've repurchased this one several times. I even use it for removing eye makeup...

    This is Cetaphil on Turbo-Drive. If you wanted to love Cetaphil and it just didn't work for you, try PC's cleanser. I love this cleanser, it completely removed my makeup, was gentle and washed away...

    This is the best cleanser I've ever used. All I need is a nickle size amount to clean my whole face. The product feels very light and silky but doesn't foam up which was different for me because...

    I heard this compared to Cetaphil on other boards but I have to disagree. I tried the Cetaphil and didn't like the way my skin felt and my face felt greasy. This product is great. Just a little...
