    This cleanser is ok, but didn't do anything wonderful for my skin. It was suitable for my dry skin, but not great. I found it annoying that it didn't really take off makeup, and i found the smell...

    I had a sample of this so decided to give it a try. I have always preferred a foaming cleanser instead of a creamy one. I can't seem to ever get past the lotion-like feel. This is a good...

    I changed to this from Dermalogica's Ultracalming Cleanser because the ultracalming, while lovely, didn't help with my occasional blemishes. I bought the little travel size of the Essential...

    This is the best cleanser I've ever tried. My skin is dry-combination, and this cleanses without stripping my skin of moisture. It's even mild enough to remove eye-makeup with. I use it after my...

    I love, love, love this product. It is the gentlest, yet most effective, moisturizing cleanser that I have ever used. It has a creamy texture that dissolves right into skin like a nourishing...

    This is recommended for dry and sensitive skin but within a few seconds of skin contact I get prickly cheeks with red patches so it's evidently not good for my sensitive skin.

    I got this product as a Christmas gift from my salon. It definitely doesn't dry out the skin but it definitely doesn't take off makeup. I used it in the shower and can't believe the amount of...

    I bought this cleanser a month ago as I've used up my Special Cleansing Gel, which I've been using for the past 2 years straight. My skin was feeling a little dry so I thought I'd try this. I'm...

    I think this may become a staple in the fall/winter for me. I like it as much as my other HG, Clinique Extra Mild Liquid Soap. Unscented, creamy and rinses clean. I like the extra lotion...

    Oh yes, yes yes yes. This is a brilliant cleanser. Think Cetaphil but 10 times better. This is very calming yet effective and leaves my skin feeling supersoft. Doesn't break me out and leaves my...

    Having oily skin with bad acne, I usually try cleansers specifically targeted to acne-prone skin. I happened to run out of cleanser and so used some of my mothers dermalogica. And to my amazement,...

    I might buy it again i might not. I am normally used to a foam cleanser but thought i might give this a go for winter. I would not use this in summers. It is very mild and leaves your skin feeling...

    It's great for my dry and sensitive skin, very mild and moisturizing. But I still think deep cleaning is necessary if you are using it

    Sucks! Doesn't really remove m/u and I only use a tinted moisturizer. If I massage longer, my face feels sore. Plus, it made my lip numb which means my lips are allergic to whatever that's in this...
