    This is the only cleanser I will use on my sensitive/combination skin. It is so soft and my skin feels clean and calm after cleansing. I started using this about 18 months ago when I had an...

    This has to be the most gentle, kind-to-skin cleanser out there. It's so gentle and harmless but it's so hard to describe that great feeling when you apply it to your skin (you have to try it to...

    Just your average gentle cleanser. I think Cetaphil could easily be a cheaper alternative to this one. I like to use it as a precleanse and it does a very thorough job at taking off my makeup. I...

    This is one of the best cleansers I have used. For once it did not irritate my skin. I have extremely sensitive skin which is also dry but it worked really well for me. Cons: It doesn't remove...

    I use this in the morning, in the winter and when my skin feels a little bit dry and patchy. It does not remove makeup, but gets your face clean. No squeaky clean feeling, but no residue either....

    Did not take off my makeup, I couldnt believe how much makeup was on my cottonball after using a toner, it left a residue on my skin as well.

    If you have dry skin you MUST try this. The fact that I can leave out one or two daily washes with water in my skincare routine has worked wonders for my dry skin. I realise now that all that water...

    Like many here, I made the mistake of buying this before looking at the ingredients. This is supposed to be very gentle yet contains SLS, I dont find it super irritating, so it would probably be...
