    I'm almost done my first bottle of this product and I have to say I'm quite satisfied. I use this cleanser on a daily basis with my clarasonic. I like how it doesn't tighten my skin (doesn't strip...

    It doesn't irritate the skin or strip it from moisture. However it can't remove even light makeup completely and is hard to wash out from skin because it's quite concentrated. It smells of plain...

    Everytime I stray, I regret it. This stuff really is perfect for my combo, sensitive, clog prone skin.

    Gentle, non-irritating, non-drying, and you get a lot for the price. A little goes a long way. I use this with a muslin cloth, and my skin is perfect. I like to try new skincare products all the...

    When I first started using this product it made my skin dry at the areas around my mouth, skin started flaking. This wasn't very nice, but now I'm glad I didn't give up on this thing! I continued...

    It's completely average. It doesn't make it any worse but it certainly didn't improve or clear my complexion whatsoever, which I was disappointed about because I heard so many great reviews about...

    Great basic cleanser for oily skin. Also great for those who have recently gotten acne. Does not strip skin of moisture whatsoever, yet leaves a clean feeling.

    I've been using this product for several years now. I have very sensitive skin so most cleansers break me out. This product has never broken me out, I always go back to this cleanser and love it!...
