My favorite cleanser! I have used this continuously for at least 10 years in various reincarnations. Unfortunately this is now discontinued here in NZ so I am hoping the new visible difference oil-free cleanser will be exactly the same (as promised by SA).
I have combo sensitive skin that is very happy with this product, never too drying and no redness flare ups.

This is a pretty good cleanser. It smells nice and it foams up the skin, leaving it touchably soft. I love how my skin feels after using this. I was kind of surprised to see how good it is.

Because I've been using Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Time Capsule, I decided I should try their cleanser as well. The 2 in 1 cleanser sounds good, and feels good on my face. It removes make up gently, yet efficiently. I have sensitive skin, but never experienced any discomfort with this cleanser. The only reason I only gave it a four, is because I still feel the need to use a toner even though this claims to be 2 in 1.

I only use this cleanser after wearing makeup because I usually use anti-acne cleanser to prevent acne. Overall, it's a good cleanser.

This is by far my most favourite facial wash. I have tried quite a few in my 27 years: philosphy purity made simple, liz earle cleanse and polish, clarins gentle foaming cleanser, neutrogena 2 in 1 wash and mask etc. this is by far the best i've come across. it have a beautiful medicinal like scent which i love, sort of tea tree and mint, but very faint. it only slightly foams and it is very gentle on the face: opening eyes with this on does not sting at all. it leaves the skin feeling so so so clean and soft. not drying at all. i still tone after this but probably not necessary.

i would HIGHLY recommend this product, i would buy this again and again!!!

This is my favourite facial cleanser! This is good for my combination skin because it cleans without stripping moisture. It really is simple, and the packaging is a bit basic, but this is good everyday stuff.

the best cleanser i have ever used! clean my makeup completely, but my skin doesnt feel tight or dry. i have combination sky type btw. i guess it works best for normal to oily skin. and also i wanna add: for a cleaser, I dont expect much, coz if you want to do skincare, you should use mask or night cream. A facial cleanser only stay on your skin for a min, so dont expect it to make your skin look amazing. this cleanser does a perfect job as a cleanser, and that is enought for me. Also, although it looks expensive, it is really big size ~~~~ so the price is ok.. will definately buy it again!

This is just a very average cleanser for me. It does completely remove make up which in a way is quite stripping, but good if you wear a lot of make up or have oily skin. Although it removes all my make up, my skin doesn't feel overly dry afterwards. It works out to be quite economical because you don't need to use much at all. I quite like the botanical/herby/minty smell, a little like dermalogica products. If you have normal to combi skin that just needs normal cleansing, this might be a good product for you. Guess I need something with added oomph to tackle my skin problems. Only 3 lippies cos it's not "amazinG~!" Probably try something else when i'm done with this.

This cleanser is nothing special, even though it's a 2 in 1. I have to admit it's a handy cleanser, with a nice emulsion, but i dont think the toner in it has enough effect on my face, it gets dry after i wash my face with it. The fragrance is mint like, i dont like mint and i think it smells a bit cheap because of this, but that my opinion.
All in all it's a handy cleanser, but very common.

this is a very lovely cleanser to use day and night. it's not drying or stripping at all, and does an excellent job of removing dirt and makeup. the scent is nice and light and the pump is very convenient. i really recommend this as a daily cleanser.

This cleanser makes my face feel very clean. It doesn't feel tight or oily hours after washing it either. I like it... a bit pricey though.

I usually use GWP sized sample as my weekend away cleanser as I don't find it as effective for a daily cleanser that improves my skin. 'Don't go to the Cosmetic Counter Without Me' lists this cleanser as too drying for some but I felt as if it didn't cleam mine enough.

However, I have started using this again, combining it with a Lancome make-up remover, and the results are now better. I am using this as another cleanser made my skin all bumpy and tight and my skin is now recovering so I assume that this is not as harsh as other cleansers on the market.

And like others have mentioned, you only need a little and that's another positive too.

An average cleanser, removes makeup very well but nothing too special about it. I have normal to dry skin, so this is a bit too drying for my skin type. However my boyfriend enjoys this cleanser since he's got oily skin.

(Late 40s, combination skin). This cleanser is a little too drying for my age and skin type but cleanses well and is a worthwhile purchase. The scent is softly minted and a small amount quickly makes a creamy lather that's very pleasant to use. My preference is to use a separate toner as I like to remove every last trace of product with a gentle toner on a cotton pad. I've tried to refrain from doing this while I've been using the 2 in 1 but usually need to remove faint traces of mascara that I didn't get the first time round, so for me there's no great advantage in this being a toner as well. My skin does look very refreshed after rinsing though and I've had no problem with blemishes whilst using this.

I just recently started using the 2 in 1 cleanser and find myself loving it! I comes in a 5 oz. tube that is kind of mint green in color. The product is pearly white with a pepperminty smell. It is a cleanser and toner in one so you get to skip a step. It takes off my make up well and cleanses & tones in one easy step. It seems to minimize the look of my pores also. It is priced at $16 and since you only need a pea size amount it should last for ages. Overall great product at a great price. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the tube...I'd prefer a flip-top instead of a screw-off top.

when i first bought this product i loved it, then i used it for a prolonged period of time and decided that the original praise i gave this product was a bit premature. I did nothing for my skin in the long run, and contains too many preservatives and chemicals for my liking. I am currently using boscia's purifying gel cleanser and i love it.

This review is actually for EA's Villa Floriani line. I couldn't find it on this website, but it works so well for me I thought it was worth mentioning.I am using the Sage Cleanser and Toner for Oily/Acne skin and it works great.I have sensitive skin and most products sting my face badly. This did not happen with VF. Plus it left my face feeling clean, but not overly dried out (another problem I've had with other products). The only negative I can think of is that the toner comes in a spray bottle, when I try to spray it on my face it comes out too strong. I remedy that by simply spraying it on a cotton pad or in my hand and then applying it to my face.
