description

A gel consisting of a non-foaming formula that thoroughly removes impurities without drying the skin. Its papaya and grapefruit extracts contain exfoliating properties that help to remove the build-up which is the cause of blackheads and pimples. The gel lessens skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its oil-free, non-lathering gel makes cleansing fuss-free.

    Whilst searching for a good papaya-enzyme cleanser (more natural than 'Likas Papaya' soap which works well but isn't all that great for the skin's PH) I stumbled upon this. The concentration of...

    One of the worst cleansers I have tried. Very strong artificial fragrance. Also, it barely removes makeup and/or sunscreen. Is very good at stinging your eyes though. Does this also have dye in it?...

    I've been curious about several Mario Badescu products and recently bought a bottle of this cleanser, which is very reasonably priced for the amount you get. I'm not sure how effective it is as a...

    as others have noted, this smells "like a spa"...but that's a little more fragranced than I like for products near my face. Still, it delivers on its promise to not strip the oil , leaving skin...

    I first got a sample of this, and it just smelt so good that I HAD to buy a full-sized one when it went on sale. Then I tried it out and it didn't work for me, for some reason - I somehow felt it...

    I've used this for a couple of months, but I haven't noticed any difference with my skin. Feels kinda clean, but I had really high expectations on this one.

    I know it shouldn't matter but I hate the way this smells. It's a really thick cleanser too.

    So, in my twenty's I had terrible adult acne. I had no idea how to deal with it either, since I never suffered from acne as a teenager. It feels like I tried everything and it really did take me...

    Earthy scent. Green gel that does not foam. Gentle exfoliator. Rinses clean. Not drying. I use this in the morning. Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone uses a cleanser only to remove makeup,...

    Smells like earth/herbs. This cleanser is great for people with good skin. It makes my skin soft and glowy but it's too gentle for my combination skin, I need something that REALLY cleans my face....

    Maybe the worst cleanser I've ever used. It doesn't remove makeup. When I use toner afterwards, tons of dirt/makeup is on the pad. On top of that, it feels the skin leaving tight and dry! Without...

    This cleanser smells really bad and once I washed my face it stayed on my skin. It also did not make my skin feel clean.

    I LOVE THIS STUFF. I use it in the morning (because it doesn't really remove makeup). I barely wet my face and then I rub a small amount on my face for 20 seconds. Then I wait another 30...

    Great double duty exfoliant for the skin. Use daily, weekly, or as needed. Non-foaming cleanser. Doesn't over-dry the skin. Don't leave on too long, because of the AHA's in the cleanser. But its...

    Oh my God!!! I never use the word ‘Holy Grail’ often but this cleanser is seriously dope. Don’t expect it to clear your makeup but definitely use it as a secondary cleanser. Your skin will feel...

    I really do like this one, it's nice and gentle and smells nice like citrus and fruits. The bottle is large and you only need the size of 10-20 cent piece. So it will last a long time. However, I...
