I absolutely love this cleanser!
I never thought I'd try a gentle cleanser, but thought I'd give this a try based on its reviews. It cleanses my skin rather well and removes my make up efficiently. Leaves no residue as well. I like to use this before I use my MD Forte III cleanser (since my MD Forte one doesnt remove makeup very good). Didn't really do anything for my acne, but definitely controlled my super oily skin along with the rest of Avene's line. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. The only thing that bothers me is the cap, can be a bit difficult to use in the shower! Apart from that, this would be great for really just about any type of skin, from sensitive to severe acneprone :)

Really, REALLY love this. I don't think I will ever stray! It is SLS free, which means it doesn't irritate my sensitive, eczema & dermatitis-prone skin. Doesn't dry it out at all, either, even on days when I work out and wash my face 2-3x in total.
It removes all of my makeup like a charm (including MAC Blacktrack Fluidline). Leaves my skin soft but totally clean. Way more effective than other gentle cleansers like Cetaphil. I'm so happy I tried this. continued >>

this is almost too good to be true - a foaming face wash that doesn't dry my skin out, and has no SLS nor parabens. a little pricey, but definitely repurchase-worthy.

Great stuff, cleans all the clogged pores (yeah, I got horrible skin after I used some foundation) I don't have oily skin, and I don't usually break out, but I still find this thing great, it works really well without drying or irritaing your skin, I also love the feeling when I am using it on my face, it foams really well, love the color, love the smell, love the price, love the results, love the feeling, and love the package.

I love everything about it, I will keep using it (my fourth bottle already)

UPDATE: OKay, after 4 bottles of this, it's really starting to dry my skin out, but I guess it's understandable because it's meant for oily skin and I don't have oily skin.....So, time for a change (my perfect excuse to buy something new :D)

This is by far the best foaming face wash I've used yet, and I think I've tried virtually everything from cheap to expensive. I have very fair, sensitive skin that doesn't break out often, but is very prone to clogged pores and milia with the wrong products. While I prefer using Spectro Jel on dry skin in the morning, I like a foaming face wash at night after showering, when of course, my skin is wet. All I need is a dime-sized drop of this stuff in my palm, then I add a bit of water and work it into a lather in my hands before washing my face. I will sometimes add more water if I feel the gel still hasn't "dissolved", as I've found that this is the only time when this product makes my skin feel tight after - when I haven't lathered it up enough in my hands. For the record, I do find the packaging to be a bit of a pain, since it's not the easiest to twist open and closed with wet hands.

this together with the thermal water as a toner and cleanance K for a night moisturiser, is already starting to clear my skin and ive only been using it for about a week. its great! i dont have sensitive skin so i havent had any problem with stinging and redness. i have strange pimples on my forehead- they arent whitheads, but they are frequent small bumps all over that are really obvious and really frustrating. and then i have really clear skin on my cheeks and chin...its strange. anyway, it has started to clear them in the centre of my forehead, and hopefully everywhere else in time! great product!
:D

I wouldnt say that i had acne-prone skin, get a few spots on my cheeks, but they're mainly on my chin. i read the good reviews on here and, since I have very sensitive skin, decided to give it a go. with the first wash, my skin became VERY oily on the surface (and normally i have normal skin) yet it seemed very tight underneath. I broke out more with every wash.....but having read a comment on here about them breaking out the first week, and then their skin clearing up after that, I continued using it. Needless to say, my skin didnt clear up... my spots became painful, and my skin felt tight, and my face became red and irritated... considering this is for sensitive skin i think it has too many strong ingredients in.... I didnt really like the smell either... Ive returned to Johnsons baby wash... that IS for sensitive skin! :)

This is my morning cleansr. It effectively cleanses my combination skin without drying it out or leaving a residue. This light blue cleanser has a light scent and is soap-free. Paraben free. 6.760z bottle sells for $13.

Completely changed my regimen from all natural products to this + retin-A and bioderma sunscreen. It's working well so far, my skin in clearer and this cleanser does not dry out or irritate my skin. I also like the packaging and the price, paid 8 euro for it. Would have prefered it without the colouring or perfume but this works well. Been using it a about two weeks.

This is my 6th or 7th bottle of this stuff and I love it- I was suspicious at first when I tried it because the washing gel is very thick and slightly sticky on first contact- but I wet my face first and then even a nickel-sized amount of this created a wonderful, comfortable and pleasant foam for my face. It washes off easily, leaving no traces of soap behind, and it makes my skin so soft. My skin tends towards oily, but this keeps everything in check. I like to experiment, but I always end up coming back to this. In Italy where I live it is about 12 euros.
