    This cleanser is as basic as it gets. It doesnt have a color (no chemicals, yay!) or a fragrance (to me at least) and it takes my makeup off effectively. It doesnt strip my skin because it is soap...

    This is a really nice, gentle wash that does a great job taking off makeup. The price is fantastic & it's a great value. I'm a big fan, of purpose bars & wash, but I can't use either any more...

    Ok, I think I have finally found my HG cleanser! After so many years of buying expensive, high-end, medi-spa or cosmetic counter brand cleansers, I think this is the best! I also really like...

    I bought this after I seemed to break out with other cleansers. Started using it and saw a big difference. I don't get underground pimples anymore and I rarely break out. It has a slight detergent...

    Good with gentle cleansing. But not so good for people with acne prone skin. It does nothing for preventing break outs. I guess I will be going back to pro-active.

    If you have acne, don't buy cleansers that have salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Get a gentle cleanser that does what it says: cleanse. You want a cleanser that doesn't do anything to acne, but...

    Holy Grail cleanser! Do not hesitate to buy. I have tried all cleansers - Chanel, Clarins, Korres, drugstore brands, etc. This i by FAR the best cleanser for sensitive or acne prone skin.

    I love this product, reminds me (and the scent is very much like) Johnson's Baby Shampoo. I like to mix it with baking soda for a gentle yet thorough exfoliation. Really great!

    I think the key word here is "gentle". Too gentle for me, sadly, although I bet it is perfect for very sensitive skin. My biggest complaint is that my bottle seems to have become watered down,...

    This, and liquid Basis, are the best face washes I've tried. (also tried Neutrogena Foaming Fresh). Both Purpose and Basis remove eye make-up well - I don't use separate eye make-up remover....
