    This is a wonderful cleanser. I alternate using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser with this one. The Purpose cleanser is ideal for giving the face a deep clean without stripping it and causing any...

    I really like this stuff. It seems to take off my make up completely (including eye make up) with minimal effort and I don't have to use a ton of it. It is also gentle on my skin. I don't feel...

    Yay! Great product. Cheap, easy to find, and it doesn't dry out or break out my skin. This is an uber simple, no-frills product, which is perfect for me.

    This cleanser did not leave my skin dried out and rinsed away all the dirt and oil on my skin as it claimed. Perfect for oily/combo skin. The ph is balanced so it is gentle for the skin. Although...

    I don't have particularly sensitve skin. For me this product cleanses my skin very effectively, doesn't leave it dry, isn't overly perfumed and the price is good. It is a go-to product for me.

    I've tried this cleanser a few times over the years. It does remove makeup and get skin clean, but it's too thick, highly scented, leaves a film, and irritated my skin. After a few uses it made my...
