Smells nice but definitely not blueberry. U so. Need a toner after this cuz it does leave a greasy film after no matter cold or warm water wash. Not worth the rice and won't buy it again

I have oily skin that is sensitive to seemingly everything. The weather has gotten drier and cooler where I live, and so my skin started drying out and producing MORE oil -- yuck. I think it's changing as I'm aging (just turned 40 a few months ago). My usual gel cleansers (Whole Foods' 365 brand and Earth Science) seemed to be a little too drying now, so I picked up a bottle of the Yes to Blueberries cream cleanser. I've been using it for three weeks now. And I really, really like it.
I wouldn't say this is an oil cleanser, but it's definitely a cream. It doesn't foam, not that I expected it to, but it's a really nice, light, creamy texture. It barely has a scent, and my skin has no reaction to it (usually scented cleansers make me turn pink, then the itching starts, and then my skin flakes...yuck).
This removed all my eye makeup and my Bare Minerals foundation. It washed off easily with a warm washcloth, and it leaves my skin feeling great. Not dried-out, not oily, not filmy. Just nice, clean, and soft.
I like it, and I'll buy it again.

I can't believe I'm writing a review after just one use but that is really how bad this product is.
FIrst of all, this does NOT say that it's an oil cleanser or a cream cleanser and the instructions it has on the tube would not lead one to believe it is one either. It says to use product with warm water and massage on face. Oil or cream cleansers must be used on a dry face and with a towel or facial sponge or something. This was a disaster partly because it's just a bad product and partly because the directions are not suitable for such a product.
It left a film on my hands that didn't wash off in water. It was not good at removing my makeup. I have an actual oil/cream cleanser already that is AMAZING at removing my makeup and it washes off really nicely so I did NOT need a crappy alternative.
But yea...I had to work hard at removing my eye makeup with this stuff and then it left a disgusting film on my face. After I used my toner with my cotton pad there was disgusting residue left on that. It looked like I had just used my toner without washing my face or something...so gross.
I don't know what they were trying to achieve with this product but cleanser is not it.
*UPDATE* Still wouldn't recommend this as a face wash but since I hate wasting products and throwing it away, I found an alternative use! It's winter time and my skin is dry, dry, dry so I put this in my shower and uses it as a conditioner for my legs. I wash as usual then I rub this onto my legs and rinse it off (as much of it as I can without using a body wash to remove it) and then finish my shower. It helps keep my legs moisturized until I apply a lotion and even then I feel like my legs are more moisturized because of this. Still gets 1 lippie because what I use this product for isn't at all its recommended use. For those of you who are stuck with this and don't know what to do with it, you can give this a try. For those of you who have incredibly flaky dry legs in the winter time, this could also be something you try. Glad to find a use for this and I may even buy this again just for this purpose.

I love most of the Yes to . . . line, but this is definitely not their best product. If someone has EXTREMELY dry skin, this might work well. But for me, it left a gross film on my face and didn't feel like it cleansed at all. The smell is nice, and it didn't irritate my skin. But if a cleanser doesn't make me feel clean, it's not a good one in my book. I would not repurchase.

I agree with most of the other reviews; for me, this was not just a meh product but a bad product. Felt bad, hard to rinse, very pore clogging, caused breakouts. I want to throw it out but it cost ten bucks so maybe I'll use it in pedicures or something but it's not going anywhere near my face again.

This is pretty much a horrible cleanser. The only good thing about it is the smell, and the ingredients. Otherwise, it feels like I'm putting conditioner on my face. Just like another reviewer below, my boyfriend commented on how weird it was and like most men- he'll use anything! I will not be repurchasing this and the only reason I haven't thrown it out is that it was pretty expensive.

oh man, I agree with previous reviewers. This product is totally dysfunctional -- does not cleanse my face at all -- including my layer of sunscreen and makeup. All my eye makeup is literally still on even when I rub it around with the cleanser. Would definitely not buy again. Love Yes to Carrots other products though - what a shame.

I really like this cleanser. This is a creamy cleanser that is probably best suited to normal-to-dry skin. As a cream cleanser, it is not supposed to lather. I cannot attest to how well it removes make-up because I use it in the morning on a "clean" face. I am in my fifties so I prefer a creamy, non-drying cleanser. For me, this fits the bill. I have sensitive skin that is reactive and prone to eczema; this cleanser causes no problems whatsoever for me. I have already repurchased and will continue to do so.

I have to concur with the last reviewer. I don't know what this is, but it's not a cleanser. Not only didn't it get anything off of my face, but I also couldn't even get the cleanser to come off. It just leaves a thick white sticky layer sitting on your skin. I don't understand this product at all -- it's like they threw the ingredients together and didn't even test it themselves before throwing away all that money on manufacturing it. I've never seen anything like it in my life. It's almost comedic.

I feel like I have enough in my arsenal to make almost anything work. If a cleanser is too harsh I dilute it with Purpose. Not strong enough and I add a little My'Chelle Fruit Enzyme to it. This cleanser I could do nothing with. Even my husband complained and he'll use anything. It just sort of moved around on my face with no grip. It didn't lather, it didn't remove makeup and it left a filmy residue. I am a fan of many of the Yes to...products but this was a total waste of time and money.

No, this does not have the scent of blueberries. It has more of an herbal, spa-like scent. I purchased this at Ulta because it was indicated for aging skin. Well, I feel a lot younger, and not in a good way. This leaves a greasy sticky film on the skin, and a toner is a must. Within days I have broken out in pimples. And I will soon be 54.
