    This is my backup cleanser. If I don't have my regular DHC cleansing products, I head to the drugstore and get this. Out of all the drugstore brands, this is the *only* one that does not break me...

    if you have fairly normal skin with occasional breakouts give this a try. it's a nice, basic face wash for me.. very gentle and as it says "100% soap free" which means it does not dry you out....

    A good, standard foaming gel cleanser with a light fragrance. The price is right. Although I have super-sensitive skin with eczema, I prefer this to Cetaphil because it really feels as if it's...
