    I bought a large bottle of this for my husband & son who have slightly oiler skin than I do. I normally use Paula's normal/dry One Step Cleanser, but thought I'd use this in summer. It turned very...

    I love this cleanser, great if you wear minimal foundation. It really cleans your skin without drying it out one bit. It lathers lightly so don't expect big suds, it does sting my eyes a little...

    Finding Paula's skincare has been a revelation for me and I will never go back to using anything else. This cleanser is my favorite of hers. I use it with my Clarisonic face brush. It also takes...

    I was surprised, but this really is for some reason too drying for my combo skin, even in the summer. The smell of this product is also disgusting. I usually prefer products that are non-perfumed...

    This cleanser is great at taking mu off, even foundation with spf! It does not have a strong scent and lathers well. However, it does feel a little gritty. I love using this during summer time, but...

    I really like this cleanser. For a gentle non-oily cleanser, it removes make-up very well, even waterproof mascara comes off with a little effort. I like to use this in the summer when I skin is a...

    Pro's: No fragrance or color. It doesn't dry me out or upset my sensitive skin. I paid nearly $20 for a large, but I bet it would last a year. Con's: I knew this was not getting off eye...

    I tried this for a while in place of Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (which I have used forever) because I like Paula's Choice skin care. This is one of the few products by her that I don't like. It is...

    I have used this product only two times, and so far, I really like it. I have tried just about every drugstore brand cleanser, and this one is the best so far. My skin can be oily, or dry in...

    This is an excellent cleanser for my combination skin. It has a soft creamy texture that does not leave skin feeling stripped nor does it leave any residue or film on the skin. Although I have some...

    This is ok, but it just doesn't clean well enough unless I use it twice with a face cloth to exfoliate. The gentleness of the formula is definitely offset by the scrubbing I have to do!

    I'm on my third bottle! I have very oily skin that's acne-prone and slightly sensitive and this is a great night-time cleanser for me. It has a pearly texture that foams slightly yet feels cushy....

    I really like this cleanser. It feels like it takes off makeup pretty well (except for waterproof) and gets my skin clean. I alternate between this one and Dan Kern's Clear Skin regimen cleanser.

    I definately recommend using the pump with this product. The flip top lid just sucks. It also makes the cleanser clump up as it gets dried up and clumped up on the lid. I tend to wear a lot of...
