I hate this stuff. It burns when you use it and it smells funny. It is not soothing at all! Don't be fooled by the advertising on it. Awful product. It also will burn your eyes out if you get it anywhere near them. Doesn't work as a toner either (it says it's a cleanser & toner 2-in-1). Also, the flimsy top broke w/in the week. Waste! continued >>

All I can say is...OUCH! The burning!
I thought this would work for me because Almay is so hypoallergenic and I have really sensitive, rosacea skin. I've actually soaked cotton pads in milk to soothe my face before and it worked wonders, so I was really excited to buy the Almay Milk Cleanser.
BOY! WAS I WRONG!It stings like fire!

My skin is skizophrenic...but usually it's extremely dry. When it's dry my cheeks breakout really bad...so I was looking for a really good cleanser that would help prevent breakouts, and not too dry/oily. The Almay Milk Cleanser is great! It removes my makeup in a snap and leaves my face SOOOOO soft! Plus it smells great, is good for my skin (as is all Almay products), and comes in a great little milk-bottle shaped container. My only complaint is that I have to use another cleanser first on most of my face because it doesn't get sudsy at all, it feels more like wet lotion when it gets on my face. Despite that, I highly recommend trying it!

I have dry skin & haven't had any problems with this product. I like the fact that toner is included so that's one less step I have to worry about. I like the smell & the texture of this cleanser. It doesn't break me out & leaves my skin feeling fresh. I've read several reviews that this is only for oily skin, but I haven't had any problems (so far). continued >>

I really like how the bottle is shaped > it resembles an old milk bottle AND due to the overhang of the cap, it is easy to hold in the shower. This was very gentle on my sensitve skin, it had an odd odor though [like sour milk] and a unique texture to it. It cleaned but didn't dry out my skin, I'd really suggest this for anyone who has sensitive skin and has had bad results with other cleansers. continued >>

wow! judging from the reviews, i must be the only one who'd buy this one again. yes, it did sting my eyes; but overall, i think it was Ok - esp. for the price. it's been one of the few cleaners that hasn't made me breakout.

I bought this hoping for the best because I'm a big fan of Almay's milk lotion. However, this was a huge disappointment. It was extremely drying and as others have mentioned, it stings my eyes horribly! Too bad, because Almay usually has the gentlest products.

Wow I thought I was the only one or I had bought a dud that was on the shelf for a long time. Yes, this stuff burns your eyes! I bought this for the novelty, and really expecting something different. Anyway, I did end up using it up, but will definitely not re-purchase nor recommend to anyone.

Yuck! This stuff smells like milk that has gone bad. It dried my face out, and did I mention it stinks?? After reading the last few reviews I'm glad I didn't get it near my eyes. Yikes!

I think the best thing about this product is the packaging...pretty cute. Other than that the product is not that great. Although it did leave my skin feeling soft, and removed my make-up well, it made my eyes STING!!! It felt as if someone smeared Vicks all over my eyes. Everytime I washed my face with it, I had to make sure to spend extra time rinsing my eyes with water before opening them. Just not worth it.

This is almay milk plus cleanse and tone rinse off cream. Since almay says it is hypo-allergenic they seem to have gone wrong somewhere. This stung my eyes terribly and the cleanser hardly even went near my eye as i used a seperate eye makeup remover, this stuff is evil, my eyes stung and burned for 10 minutes AFTER i had washed them with clean cool water. Removed my makeup but not too well and the consistency was very sticky and glue like so it was hard to get off my skin! An item designated for the bin.

One of the worst cleansers I have ever purchased. Burned my eyes terribly after several rinse attempts. I threw the bottle away because I wouldn't want to inflict the same torture on anyone.

Just stay away from this one! My eyes are still screamin' after the abuse this cleanser put it through, and I wasn't even using it around my eye area, it's just that when you go to rinse you can't help but get some of it in your eyes and the the burning is immediate.

I don't know the price of this since it's my mom's but man, this cleanser is the WORST I have ever tried. Use soap if you have to, but never this! And, yes it does dry out your skin. I used this for two days and my skin is like looks like it's cracking.
It goes on like oil and grease. It's hard to come off since it's so greasy and sticks to your skin. I had to use soap over this so that it actually comes off. If i didn't use soap I'd still be in the bathroom rubbing this off!
