This is a really good cleanser! Takes off all my makeup and makes me feel fresh and clean without making my skin feel tight or overly cleansed

This cleanser doesn't do anything for my skin and it doesn't feel like it is removing the make-up from my skin. I don't get that "clean" feeling after washing my face with this. Face is super dry...

I bought the smallest size from Sephora because I'm always afraid that new products will break my skin out. I'm so glad I only spent $10 on this because it was a complete dud for me. The only pro...

Everyone raves about this cleanser. I was looking to try something with my clarisonic that wouldn't dry out my skin (already dry) and would not irritate my sensitive skin. SO MANY PEOPLE recommend...

For something called "purity", it sure does have a lot of fragrance in it. I used this product when it first came out because of all the hype behind it. Frankly, I don't think it cleans all that...

This stuff was simply too drying for my skin. Jaclyn Hill recommends this, which I find strange as she has dry skin as well. I figured this seemed gentle enough for my dry, sensitive, occasionally...

I dislike this cleanser. On my sensitive/dry skin this just strips my moisture barrier without being very effective at removing makeup. I'm not sure how it's possible.
