Love it
I'm on my third bottle already. I love the creamy foamy texture, I love that it cleans really well without stripping my skin, I pretty much love everything about it. It's one of my favorite cleansers.
Report this reviewGreat product, not so great packaging
It is a good cleanser and I like it, but I am not a fan of the bottle. Big hole on top, so too much comes out each time you use it.
Report this reviewAverage
It’s pretty average cleanser, I have used better ones for sure. It definitely cleans my face and does not dry it out, but I probably won’t repurchase it. Plus the packaging (there is no pump) is quite irritating, I always dispense more than I need.Â
Report this reviewGood quality cream
It's been working well since I have been using it for over a week.
Report this reviewGood morning cleanser
I find this perfect as a morning cleanser, it really comforting and not stripping. No fragrance eitherÂÂ
Report this review5 stars
A 5 stars for sure, I am acne prone but with dryness as I do treatments and I tried in the last 15 years of my skins issues many many products and brands. this is one great cleanser, very gentle not irritating and cleans very well any left makeup. I just purchased my second bottle and I probably repurchase as my skin condition is stable now and I don’t feel I need one which acts as treatment. very happy with this product.
Report this reviewLeaves my face dry
Nice gel consistency that turns into a cream with water. Unfortunately it dries my skin more than most (although I’m yet to find a 2nd cleanse cleanser that doesn’t do this to a degree!)
Report this reviewPaula’s Choice
Very good quality, works brilliantly, would recommend and would re-purchase
Report this reviewBest cleanser yet!
This is going to be a staple for me going forward. It’s gentle, doesn’t dry out my skin, is more effective at reducing blackheads than any previous cleansers I’ve used and I’ve stopped getting the hormone related spots on my cheeks.I honestly can’t think of anything that could be improved.
Report this reviewSo-so
It's nothing great, but I've tried worse. I have combo skin and I find it to be quite drying.
