I have been using this cleanser for well over a month, and it is the best I have found. Does not dry out my oily skin, but I have noticed it seems less oily overall. This cleanser removes makeup completely, including mascara, without scrubbing and has also helped clear up my chest and back. I would highly recommend it to anyone with oily, acne-prone skin. I also use a Nutrasonic brush most of the time, and believe the two combined is what has really cleared up my flaking and blemishes. I'm neutral about the price, and don't really see any problem with the packaging, although I do wish they had the option of a larger bottle. Lather is very good, and the fragrance is very light. I did see one advertisement that said this is fragrance-free, but it does have fragrance listed in the ingredients. Has not irritated my face at all. Love it!

i love this cleanser! does not dry out my oily and blemish-proned skin. i also love the fact that one of the ingredients inside is papaya enzymes and most of the ingredients used are plants or fruit extracts. and like what one of the reviewers had experienced, the milla seeds under my eyes are reduced too ever since i started using this cleanser!!!! and also, it actually pushes out most of my embedded comodomes out to the surface !!! my face feels much smoother and hydrated than before. last but not least, it smells great!! a worth buy!

Been using this for about 6-7 years and it really does it for my skin. I have combination/oily skin, and this cleanser is made exactly for this skin type. This cleanser is very gentle (I only use a few drops) but it is very effective at removing makeup and unclogging pores. I've never used a makeup remover prior to washing my face with this (never needed to!), and this cleanser completely removes all my liquid eyeliner and mascara off at the end of the day (I just very lightly rub the cleansing gel in a circular motion on my eye area). This nutrient-rich cleansing gel contains the Nutricentials ingredient papain—an enzyme from papaya that breaks down the debris of dead cells, oil, makeup, and pollution to free clogged pores. This soap-free, foaming formula helps control oil without overdrying. The retail web price on www.nuskin.com is $17 (Canadian) for a 150ml bottle.

Great Cleanser does not dry out face at all. I have acne proned skin & haven't had any issues. Super fresh clean feeling with tight pores after use. I use it with my sonicare brush.

I've been using this cleanser for about a month now, and I think it is ok. It is very mild/ gentle and doesn't dry out my face like a lot of other cleansers that are made for combination to oily skin. It hasn't made me break out either and my skin has been looking pretty good.

I feel that this is a decent cleanser, but there is nothing really special about it. One thing I don't particularly like is the slippery, greasy feeling I get when I wash my face with it; I prefer cleansers that give you that "squeaky clean" feeling when you're rinsing with water. And as other reviewers have noted, the packaging is a tiny bit inconvenient. (For instance, when I bring this into the shower with me, it IS a bit of a hassle to unscrew the cap, pour some gel onto my hand, and put the cap back on.)

All in all, I don't have any complaints about this cleanser, but nothing remarkable to say about it either. I am willing to repurchase until I find something better.

I actually like this gel cleanser particularly during the warmer months. It gently cleanse the skin effortlessly and doesn't leave skin feeling dry or tight. You don't need much either. Given the price of this product and the cost of NuSkin's 180 Cleanser, Pure Cleansing Gel is much better value and a much better product.

It's not PH balanced. Right after washing my face with this cleanser, my skin feels fresh and smooth. My face produce more oil with using this cleanser. I've found my favorite cleanser, which is Cetaphil cleanser for normal to oily skin.

For me, Nuskin Pure Cleansing Gel is a miracle worker, as far as a long-standing milia seed was concerned. I think the papain enzyme (papya enzyme) in the product did it, and how it managed to do so still amazes me today. You see, I had one of those annoying whitehead/milia seed oil clogs on the upper part of my cheekbone, near the nose, for the longest time. No facialist/beautician could pop that as it was so painful to do so. No matter how much masks and pimple cream I put on it, hoping that I would be able to soften it and pop it off, I wasn't successful. Until Nuskin pure cleansing gel came along. When I first got the bottle, I had read that papaya enzymes were very effective at dissolving skin cells. So I left on a bit of it on my face while I took my shower. At the end of the shower, I would then put more cleanser on and cleaned my face the usual way, with some cotton wool squares. It took only 4 days of using this cleanser, when on the 5th day, the milia seed began to feel dry, and while wiping off the cleanser on the 5th day, the seed actually popped off. I couldn't believe it, as I thought I would have to live with the ugly blob. Subsequently, I went on to use this cleanser as a regular cleanser, and it did clear all those little bumps. Today however, I switch between 3 types of facial cleansers, as I've found that to use 1 type for more than 2 bottles often will render it less effective. Today I use Nuskin's gel cleanser whenever I need to get rid of any stubborn whiteheads, especially on the nose - I would leave a layer on, rather like a mask, then go back after about 10 mins to put on more and clean it out with cotton squares. After a few days of doing so, you find that your whiteheads will loosen up and you can then easily squeeze it off.

UNFORTUNATELY, the price of Nuskin is ridiculous (at least in Singapore). So this isn't as regular a use for me - but it's effective enough to use as a whitehead remover, and yes, I do replace it once it's finished.

I found this to be just your average cleanser. No spectacular results considering how pricy it is. Also, I dislike the bottle cap, they should have something more convenient to use.

Having a family member being the nuskin distributor, I get the chances to try most of Nuskin's products. I'd say most of them are really good, affordable, too.
This Pure Cleansing Gel is designed for Oily to Normal skins. It foams up really well and is soap-free (well, that's what the packaging says). I don't find it drying out my skin or too harsh at all. Basically an average good cleanser. Anyway, I don't like the packaging, it's in a bottle that you'll have to pour the liquid out (get what I mean?), very inconvenient indeed. And when you nearly used up the whole bottle and it comes to the last bit, you'll have to put it up-side-down in order to let the cleansing gel come out easier. (what am I talking about?anyway, hope you all get the idea :P) Also, I think Nuskin is rising their prices all the way *unhappy*
