This is a great basic cleanser. It smells wonderful and herbal, and cleans skin without being harsh. My problem with it was the packaging: it opened too easily, so often I'd find the bottom of my drawer coated in a Zen mess. If they carried this again, I would repurchase.

While this is a good cleanser and I can't complain about its effectiveness, it smells EXACTLY like harsh pine toilet cleaner.
Hard to enjoy using a product that lends the impression of having my head down the bowl.

I absolutly love this cleanser, it's really cleared up my face, and left it so very smooth. I'm soo upset that they discontinued the product, it's the best cleanser that I've ever used!

Love this product, great for all skin types. Can't beleive it is dicontinued. Bought a bunch for back up. Leaves my skin so clean, not tight. Also like the idea of not having to use toner or make up remover when I use this. Great 3-n-1 product. Bought a bunch for back up until I find another product as good.

I really like this cleanser. It does a good job of cleaning without making my face overly dry. I like how soft my skin feels after I use it, and it hasn't caused any irritation. Too bad UD discontinued this because I'd buy it again.

WHY DID THEY DISCONTINUE THIS!?!?!

Yes, go figure, I find a HG of skincare that wins me compliments on my flawless complexion and the company pulls it from their line. This was it. Not overly harsh on my sometimes dry face, didn't cause any breakouts and left my skin feeling refreshed and slightly tingly (witch hazel).I'm hoarding what little I have left!!

Pretty impressed! It's an extremely gentle cleanser, so some may feel they're not getting very clean with it- but it doesn't dry out the skin in the slightest and it doesn't sting if you use it on the eyelids. I love it esp. for days I have light or no m/u on.

I could live without this cleanser and I'd rather use a separate toner than have it included in the cleanser. Kind of drying and overall it was just kind of plain and boring, nothing special. The packaging isn't very nice looking either...

For me this was a very gentle cleanser. It can be slightly drying after you wash (probably the built in toner). I thought the smell was pleasent and you do get a lot of product. But it is nothing special. I gave it 4 because I have no complaints about it and I would probably purchase again later down the road.

This was too harsh for me. Dried out my normal to oily skin. Left it red and irritated. Also wasn't good at removing makeup.

I got this at Marshall's for 4.99 and for the price the cleanser was really good. now that i know some UD products make their way to marshall's i will be checking there often for stuff cheap so i can try it.

***update***
I am so upset they DC this. this was the ONLY cleanser that didn't make my face break out and controled my once in awhile break outs. I need to find something comparable to this. if someone knows of anything please let me know.

I got this for $4.99 at Marshall's so it was a pretty good deal. I have oily skin and this dries it out(but so does Dove,weird?), but it's more gentle than most other cleansers. I have acne and it doesn't irritate it like other cleansers normally do.

Great scent and cool, tingly feel. It doesn't lather much, it just stays kind of slick, which may not be a problem since companies often add "lathering" ingredients that have nothing to do with cleansing properties to products because consumers expect it, so that probably doesn't mean anything one way or the other. But because of the slick feel, it can be hard to tell when it's been rinsed off. This stuff is OK, but nothing special. I love the feel, but not enough to justify the price. Also, your skin tastes funny after you use this (according to a gentleman friend, and then confirmed by me licking above my upper lip...definite chemical flavor). So I wouldn't buy this again.

I LOVE Zen Cleanse! It is a gentle cleanser that makes my face soft, clear, and clean feeling. The smell is calming, too! And I love that UD doesn't test on animals. This stuff is just wonderful!

I am a bit on the fence with this one. I might purchase it to use occasionally. It was a tiny bit drying but my skin did feel quite clean after. I love the tingly peppermint feel.

This is a really standard gel cleanser. Like all gel cleansers, it dried me out. I guess if you have really oily skin, this might be the cleanser for you but honestly, I think you could get the same quality at a drugstore and save your money.

A nice but fairly average cleanser. Like some other people mentioned, it's suppose to be a foaming cleanser, but it doesn't seem like it. I liked the scent and it did a great job of removing makeup, but my skin felt a bit dry afterwards.

I found this to be only slightly lathering. It did come off well with a washcloth, and left my skin feeling very clean. What I didn't like too much about this product was that it seemed very goopy to me, and left my skin a little dehydrated.

I don't think this is a foaming cleanser.. it goes on more 'slippery'. It works well and feels great, but it's hard to tell just when it's washed from your face. It's slick, so when you wash it off with water your skin feels slick too. I had to wash my face over & over to make sure it was all off!
But overall it works wonderfully, along with the rest of the skincare range
