OK product, can be used alternatively with Cetaphil whenever I feel my face is more oily/dirty than usual.
It doesn't lather so you can use it with Clarisonic just fine. it's nothing miracle other than a gentle product. But keep in mind this is not as gentle as Cetaphil.
I have a very reliable indicator that is how fast my skin get oily. The slower my face produce oil, the gentler my face wash is. With Cetaphil I can have an hour of no oil on face, with this one I got 40 mins :)
The cap, not sure if it's only happened to my bottle, but it feels flimsy and unreliable in closing. Hence 3 for that.
Also, even if it's stronger than Cetaphil, just as that one, it doesn't help in preventing blackhead. If I go fully use Cetaphil/Yves Rocher cleanser, I will definitely get blackhead so I usually have to compromise by using those product in morning only.

lovely gentle cleanser, great price, flip top lid is a bit fiddly, BUT i dont fear it will pop open in a travel bag so thats a + for me.
Removes my makeup perfectly, and sicne i use the cornflower eye makeup remover this gets rid of all of the residue. I can also use it on my Olay brush (like the Clairsonic) with great results. I have noticed no drying at all, lightly moisturised, no irritation from the fragrance, didnt make my eyes run etc.
Will buy again, and it seems to always be on sale which is a bonus, however even at full price it is still great.

A few years ago I started using the Clinique rinse off foaming cleanser. I thougth it was ok, but imagined there had to be better cleansers in this world. So I saw the good reviews about this pure calmille cleansing gel. I'm in Europe and those products are very cheap over here so I thougth I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed; it didn't remove my make-up more than the Clinique cleanser did so I left it on my shelf and it remained untouched for months and months. Then I tried the comforting cream cleanser (also from Clinique). What a waste of money! It didn't even remove my make-up for 50%! That's why I tried the Yves Rocher cleanser again. And strangely enough...it works really well! Even better than the rinse off cleanser! I've even bought a new bottle last week!
It smells nice and fresh, gives a nice lather and when I wipe my face with a cotton pad with lotion afterwards, there's very little make-up left on it. I use a lot of product though, but that's no big deal because it's so cheap.

This is all right, but nothing more. It's a decent face cleanser, but it didn't leave my skin soft, smooth, radiant or anything like that. I have relatively dry skin and didn't notice it getting worse (or better) after using this gel. I will not repurchase because I feel there's much better out there.

This product is absolute perfection to me. I have combination skin, prone to dryness as well as slight breakouts at times. And this cleanser has balanced out my skin so well. Even though it's not specifically meant to treat acne and I didn't expect it to either, I feel like I don't break out at all since I use it. On the other hand it's not harsh, it feels really gentle. Plus it smells fresh and kinda lemony, gives you a good kickstart into the day.
I still don't think you should expect it to treat severe skin problems since it is meant for all skin conditions and is sort of a compromise-cleanser, but for me it's ideal. Definitely going to stick with this product a very long time.

I like this cleanser it was recommend to me after I told them I use dove facial wipes which are very harsh like most drugstore brands. I will wait and see if I will be this again though.

What a great find was this gel for me! My skin is very oily and prone to breakouts, so I always used harsh products to battle imperfections, they made my skin tighetend and dried but still greasy! After reading all the positive reviews for this products on here I decided to give my skin some rest and try something more gentle. This gel is for all skin types and it does a great job! Skin feels so soft, not tightened at all and the tone is more even, I also love the smell and it's such a pleasure using it. Definitely a repurchase.

I bought this product in Germany recently and it instantly became one of my favorite cleansers. It's very gentle and smells just heavenly! I haven't tried the US version (which I believe is made in Mexico). I am considering ordering it online, I just hope it will be the same as European one!

This is my HG. My search is over and let me tell you it was a long search. I am on my fifth bottle of this cleansing gel. It cleanses gently and at the same time deep down without a filmy residue. It cleans off my makeup and any other skincare product that I have on my face. I love how it is sensitive for my skin without drying it out or being too mositurising leaving that yucky filmy residue. I have tried lots of cleansers before finding this gem and once I found this one I gave up trying to find another cleanser. This smells good.

This is probably the best cleanser I've used - it's so gentle, I even use it to remove my mascara and it does not burn my eyes (they are really sensitive). It smells very nice. Not expensive.

A gentle cleanser which is dirt cheap. It doesn't cleanse well but it's great to be used in the morning when you have no make-up on.
Well worth trying!

I absolutely love this gel cleanser! I am a fan of herbal and organic makeup and decided to give this one a try. It was dirt cheap for $6!
It has a light scent which I love and it removes all my makeup with only 1 wash! Not waterproof mascara thought. It doesn't irritate my skin, it leaves it fresh and clean!
Would definitely buy again! Great product for all skin types! :)

I bought this cleanser (along with the toner and hydrating gel) to try and calm my pregnancy breakouts. I love how it cleans gently without drying and always leaves my skin fresh and well...calm! No stinging and doesn't burn my eyes....I look forward to washing my face with this every day. I bought it when the entire site was 50% off so it's really a great deal.

This is just an okey product for me. It does not clean my make up. However it is very gentle for all skin types. So it can be used that no-make up days

Light, fresh, non-stripping, non-irritating, and cost almost nothing, especially on sale. Worth every penny, and then some. Be aware, though, that like other Yves Rocher products, this is fragranced, which I could definitely do without but isn't a dealbreaker.

I have to be honest, I can not use cheap face products for my skin because it is soooo sensitive and dry. So most products in my makeup bag are from expensive make up brands BUT for all of my face products like daycream, nightcream, eyecontour cream, lotion, cleasing gel,... I use Yves Rocher. I always thought that the price of a product marked it's quality (I still think that in 90% of the cases it's true) but not for Yves Rocher!! Their products are payable and they have for every skin type a cream or cleanser of whatever.
So this cleanser... I've used a lot of things to clean my skin without having red marks on my skin. Nothing worked. This stuff is sooo gentle and really takes off everything!!! It leaves my skin clean and fresh. Love the bottle with the cute flower on it !! And with 1 bottle you go a very long time.

After trying several products I've been using this cleanser for years.
Pros: really clear skin, no make-up left, the bottle lasts a long time, cheeeeap, doesn't irritate your skin at all, doesn't overdry it, just that fresh and clean feeling.
Cons: mmm... none!
I'm sure I'll go on using this cleanser so I really recommend it to anyone, even with problematic, oily, or combination skin.

This is my HG!!!! I use it for now about 3 years and meanwhile tried some other brands...but I always return to this.
I have dry skin that suffers from eczema , especially when I don't use a good facewash and moisturizer. Now using this product it hasn't give me more eczema break-outs than when I use some other brands.
It removes all make-up, smells deliciously fresh and keeps my skin soft!!
I defenately recommend this!

One of my favorite cleansers -- both I and my 12 year-old daughter use it. I like the gel formula and pretty light green color. It's not drying, and not heavy or greasy either. Just clean and fresh, and smells that way too. Another plus is that it doesn't make my eyes sting -- I even use it to remove eye makeup. I like to buy these two-for-one from the Yves Rocher catalog. Great product!
