I've purchased this product over and over. I mainly use it as a makeup remover. It is amazing at removing eye makeup, especially water proof mascara (usually takes 2 washes to remove waterproof) I'm not going to lie, if you open your eyes without THOROUGHLY rinsing your face, it will Burn your eyes! A small thing that can be avoided by limply not opening your eyes lol. Perfect for the gym or nights out because you can throw it right in your bag.

This seems to be the only face cleanser that works for me. It's not too drying considering it's a foaming cleanser with a slight fragrance and I have pretty sensitive skin which dries out easily so coming from me that says a lot! When I ran out of my last bottle I changed my skin care regime a little bit and that was a huge mistake because I just broke out so I went back to this and using Olay moisturizer afterward and problem solved

This cleanser is okay. The tingly feeling gimmicky in my book. I just want something to totally remove my makeup. It does not remove eye makeup like my other cleansers did, it will burn the eyes. It's kind of a strange cleanser because it comes out a foam and thins out on your face and it makes me wonder is it doing anything?? I wash my face at least twice with this just to be sure that all my makeup is coming off, but I always wash my face twice. It's too soon for me to say for sure if I like it or not, but for right now I think there are other cleanser I would like to try.

My sister has this in her bathroom, and when I visited home this past weekend, I forgot my normal cleaner (Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser); this stuff is a foaming cleaner, too, so I thought "Why not?". Big mistake. It felt really nice when I used it, but as soon as I dried my face, it was extremely tight and dry. I could feel dry flakes! Now, I have combination skin, my T-zone being EXTREMELY dry. However, this stuff made my cheeks and neck dry as well. It was so uncomfortable. So, I broke out my super heavy duty moisturizer and omfg putting it on BURNED. It was all together a very bad experience. However, I bet it would work well for someone with very oily skin. :)

The pump bottle is great and the foam feels cool and refreshing to use on my face. The eucalyptus/minty fresh scent really does make a difference, but also seems to sting the eyes if you get the product too close! It lathers well, making it effective as a cleanser. As the bottle states, it is a toner as well, so I don't use a separate toner afterwards, just straight to a moisturiser. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now, I use it twice a day and my skin looks fresh and clear.

Purchased this at Walmart because I ran out of my usual cleanser, and needed something fast. Do not make the mistake I made by using this on your eyes. IT WILL BURN! There is a menthol feeling to this product, and I had to rinse rinse rinse rinse rinse to get it off my eyes. It's an average cleanser in my book, but I do not plan to repurchase.

I've previously used the lancome self foaming cleanser which was very creamy. I wasn't expecting this one to be as creamy however it doesn't even lather! It comes out as a foam but when you put it on your face it disappears. Have to use two pumps to clean my face to remove makeup.

Been using this ever since their pore minimizing cleanser was discontinued a few years ago and its really nice. Its not AMAZING, but it does the job, has a cooling sensation when you put it on and it doesn't break me out or cause problems.

I wouldn't use this to remove makeup though, its really not strong enough to do that if you know what I mean, being foam and all. So I recommend using their cleansing wipes or some other brands cleansing wipes first and then using this. If you're buying this hoping that it will remove your makeup in one step then you'll be disappointed.

This will however cleanse and also make your face feel refreshed because like I said it has this "cooling" sensation when you put it on. I gave it 4 out of 5 lippies because its a good cleanser and Ive been loyal to it for years but its not ground breaking or anything like that. Worth a try for anyone whos curious because its inexpensive and you can find it at any Target ot CVS.

NOTE: SLES, Sodium LAURETH Sulfate, is a gentle yet effective surffacant that is used frequently in facial cleansers and should not be confused with SLS(Sodium LAUREL Sulfate).
This is an effective cleanser that takes off makeup and prepares the skin for toner/lotion. Basic, but GOOD.

I don't hate this cleanser, but I certainly don't love it. I bought it because the biore skin-boosting night serum's box suggested using them in conjuction with each other, I now know this was just a ploy on Biore's part to get people to buy more of their products, but I was the sucker who fell for it :p. Back to the review, this did not take off ALL of my makeup, kept on my  eyeliner and mascara ( neither were waterproof) and took off blush and eyeshadow (note I don't wear  fondation, concealer, things like that, so i can't tell you if it gets that off.) . When I first bought this it stung my eyes like crazy, I had to use visine after every use. Also it is extremly runny, the foam gets everywhere nose,mouth (yuck!!), and it will sometimes start to run down my neck. In conclusion I will not be buying it again,  i've decided to use it up by using it as a second cleansing after my cleansing oil, it's almost gone lasted I would say a half a year, for me that is, i stopped using it for a long time.

I really like this! I bought the Bliss Fabulous Foaming cleanser and while I like it, it's expensive ($24 USD) and it doesn't make a nice foamy lather which is what it promises. I use the St. Ives apricot scrub when I need exfoliation, because the Bliss one doesn't exfoliate enough. I needed a cheap cleanser that would foam and clean my face. I don't really care for toning or makeup removing since I use my neutrogena wipes for that. It cleans my face, it foams, and it smells nice. The pump dispenses slightly too much, but I don't mind. It's cheap and effective. I love it.

Seen mixed reviews on this and for a time, all the stores in my area took it off the shelves. I suspected it wasn't selling as well so I usually had to order this online. Now... I see it back in all the stores. Maybe demand has picked up. Anyhoo... I chose this cleanser for the first time because they had discontinued another foaming cleanser I loved (from another brand) and I had a coupon for Biore. So I tried and wasn't dissatisfied. I like to use it in the morning because it does give my skin that tingly feeling. People complain that it doesn't remove makeup but I use makeup remover towelettes so I can't comment on effectiveness as a makeup remover. Doesn't dry my skin out (except around the eyes so wash it off immediately or use with caution around eyes), doesn't leave a residue, doesn't make me break out. It's just a clean, simple cleanser for my oily/combo skin. No complaints, not life-changing. Just satisfactory replacement for my old cleanser.

As is most everyone I am on the constant search for the perfect face wash. It should do a few things: not make my skin appear or feel worse, remove all my makeup ( or at least the majority), and a bonus would be to help even out my combo skin as well as make my blackheads get lost. The last not being required.
This stuff left my skin with some residue foundation ( I use bare minerals matte or lancome liquids) and definite raccoon eyes. Seeing foundation colored stuff on my toner pads REALLY makes me wonder if my skin is clean. I don't like using makeup removers as they sometimes make my skin sensitive or feel sticky and oily. Also it left my skin feeling very tight, even after being sure to rinse very well. I seem to have more deep rooted zits too, but this could be due to me testing different prescription acne treatments every 1-2 months. Its very possible the zits are related to a recent change in sample prescriptions. It does have a nice clean pump with actual foam coming out of it. I have used more than 4/5ths of the bottle and am just not that happy. It seemed gentle enough although I can use things like alpha beta peels no problem and then Cetaphil makes my face red and sensitive to the air so I'm not a great judge of sensitivity. All in all I'm not that impressed.

I don't like giving such a negative review, as I feel most products have some redeeming qualities. However, I don't feel like this cleanser worked very well at all. My skin didn't feel clean after rinsing, and when I used toner afterwards, there was still some makeup and dirt on the pad (and I use very little makeup - mostly a light concealer & a dusting of powder). Packaging is ok - pump delivers a generous amount of foam - it just didn't do the job for me. Won't purchase again.

I absolutely love this cleanser I have combo normal oily skin and this is so refreshing and removes all of my makeup with very little product. Love to use at night to take off all of my makeup and also in the morning to wake me up and feel refreshed with the minty feeling. I keep going back to this after trying new cleansers. I have bought this so many times and keep one in the shower and one by the sink.

For a product that sounded so promising, this has to be one of the worst cleansers that I have EVER used. Even if I am just wearing a POWDER foundation I find that I have to double wash or else my toner will pick up tons of other muck that this should have taken out. I don't expect any cleanser to remove every bit of dirt and make up off, but I expect a good cleanser to take off at least 95% of it. I hope Target lets me return this!

It's good for oily skin, I suppose. Nice tingly feeling when you use it and, after you've rinsed it, your skin feels super clean. The only problem? My skin feels sooo tight afterward. Not a good feeling.

It does tingle but I got use to it and like it. I use it to take off all my make up including eyes. I have never had a problem with stinging or watery eyes. My skin has been pretty good. Will buy again.

I bought this product at target for about 6 bucks a couple of weeks ago. It claims to cleanse, tone, stimulate, and detoxify. It does a very good job at cleansing. I wear makeup everyday so I use this cleanser everynight to remove my makeup, and I love that 1 pump of this will remove ALL of my makeup. Im not so satisfied with the toning that it does because i havent noticed any even-ness in my skin tone. It is very stimulating and I believe that it does detoxify well as it tingles when you put it on your face. Just be careful when you have it around your eyes because it does tend to make your eyes water and sting even when its near it so CLOSE YOUR EYES! I love the light, clean, refreshing fragrance it has. I love to use this as a cleanser but since my skin is oily, I have to use a moisturizer after this. I've noticed that other cleansers usually leave my skin feeling parched and dry afterwards, and this one leaves your skin feeling refreshed. But for those who have oily skin, like myself, i highly reccomend using a moisturizer after this. Oily skin cant be left alone after cleansing because it will produce even MORE oil because your skin feels like its too dry. So please, moisturize, for skin's sake! But overall, I would reccomend this for purchase because it does a very good job at cleansing and leaves your skin feeling clean :)
