    This made my skin feel very dry upon first application. After a couple of days, no longer a problem. I have combo skin with mild rosacea (LOLA). It does give that "clean feeling". Wish it was...

    A gentle face wash that cleanses thoroughly, does not contain detergent, does not leave a residue, and does not dry skin - what more could you ask for? Perhaps something other than a pump bottle so...

    I have used this face wash for over a year now. It totally removes all traces of makeup. My skin feels clean without being tight. It doesnt leave any film behind. I will not be without this.

    This is a great cleanser. I have acne and clogged pores and this doesn't strip my skin or make it dry. I love how it lathers and doesn't leave a filmy residue like a lot of cleansers do.

    my HG cleanser (so far..) Cheap, gentle, causes no breakouts, gets off ALL makeup, leaves skin soft. Good cleanser! Definitely will continue to use this.

    I love this cleanser. It's not too drying but removes surface oils. I haven't tried it in the summer when my skins more oily but this is perfect for the winter months when my skin is dry.

    I have bought this many times over for my somewhat sensitive skin. It removes my facial makeup adequately but could be better at removing my eye makeup. It is a gentle cleanser so I don't really...

    The best cleanser for my combination, acne prone skin. Removes my foundation and leaves my skin balanced. I hate the bottle though. It is a pain to get the pump 'up' initially, and impossible to...

    I wasn't impressed with Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash. It never really seemed to get my skin completely clean and I didn't like the smell. The only good thing about it was that it didn't irritate...
