Wow! This cleanser is GREAT for removing any make-up film leftover after I use my make-up removing cloths! My face has never felt so clean! Since I have acne prone skin, I follow with my usual cleanser & toner, but have been breaking out much less since adding this!

I really like this cleanser. It's great for oily/sensitive skin. I started using this at a time when my skin had broken out in bumps caused by a too-drying astringent. Was i pleasantly surprised to find that this cleanser delivers on all its promises - deep cleansing AND nourishment.

I love this cleanser. It is so easy to use, and rinse off. I have oily, acneprone skin. This works great and leaves my skin feeling really clean! It doesn't feel soapy or sticky. This is much better than aveeno's foam cleanser! I love It!!

This product was so close for me. Yes, the dispenser was perfect, and it was like shaving cream. But the cleansing power was like shaving cream, too. It didn't feel fresh or "pristine clean." It was good that it didn't dry out too much, though. I'd buy again as a morning wash.

This is a great cleanser. Smells nice. very gentle to sensitive face. Smooth skin after cleaning my face with this foam. Removes light makeups well too.

the only time this cleanser worked for me was in the winter on the days that i didn't wear any makeup. there was really nothing pristine clean about this. it didn't remove makeup, grime or anything! in the summer, i tend to get a bit more oily and it made me break out because it didn't clean at all! i liked the delivery system in that it already foams when you dispense from the pump but what's the point if it doesn't clean? hated this!

This just didn't work for me. I love the way it foams out like shaving foam, but I wanted it to be creamy like shaving foam too. It's not. It feels dry and like i'm just rubbing foam on my face, but not taking anything off. And that's exactly what it does! I have to wash with it 2-3 times to get my make-up off. If I only wash once, I end up with a ton of makeup coming off with my toner on a cotton ball. It just isn't refreshing and I don't think it's really cleaning my face much.

I bought this as my night makeup remover cleanser, and it works well for that. The smell is pleasant enough. The foam is fun to dispense too, but it's also easy to dispense too much. The only other drawback is it's a bit drying for me (even with oily skin), like my skin feels pretty clean but also tight from being dry. I might purchase this again or try another product when it runs out.

I just discovered this at my CVS and I love it. It feels like shaving cream when you squirt it out. It removed all my makeup and leaves my face soft, but not feeling dirty, and not stripped. I have weird skin- dehydrated surface, but produces oil, breakout prone, big pores- and this is working just great. It's difficult to control the amount of foam that comes out and I don't love metal containers because if I leave it in the shower it could leave a rust ring(hence 2 lippies on the packaging), but at 6.99 I'm not going to complain.

This cleanser is the most drying one I've ever used that was marketed for sensitive skin. I even found it more drying than regular Purpose Cleanser!
A little background: I have type II rosacea so I'm quite breakout-prone, but my skin is also normal, leaning dry. However, cream cleansers consistantly break me out so I use foaming ones.
I tested this cleanser on some sunscreen applied to a finger first to see if it would remove it. My hands were tight and dry for hours after this test (it did remove the sunscreen very easily though).
On my face, it made my skin very tight to the point of being uncomfortable making expressions after one use. My skin felt powdery soft and smooth--just like a powdered drumskin once it's stretched. I also seemed to feel a film on my face after a few hours of use. But by early afternoon, my face was more and more uncomfortable and tight, even without making expressions while at rest.
The foam for this product comes out very thickly (like shaving cream more than hair mousse) so I think it's super-concentrated and has very little water in it. I sprayed it into a cupped palm holding water to make it more aqueous, but it was still too harsh and drying for me. It also wasn't very economical since I had trouble with the nossle spraying out too much cleanser, even after being very careful per the comments here.
I would only recommend this cleanser for the oiliest skin imaginable, and I still think it's one of the harsher cleansers and would probably be too stripping even for a super-oily-skinned person.

I love this product. For me, it takes my makeup off and is non-drying for my combo skin. It is oil-free, and it has very good ingredients like vitamin E, etc. It sure does foam up a lot, but it is very easy to use and I really feel like I am getting my face clean. I use this at night and Cetaphil in the morning.

I absolutely adore this product. I am a sucker for cleansers that foam right out of the container. It goes on better if your face is moist when you apply it. It does come out of the container quickly, but I've found that short pumps give you just the right amount. It has a nice clean scent, takes off all my makeup, and doesn't leave my face feeling dried out.
UPDATE*** The reason my face wasn't feeling dried out was because the cleanser was leaving behind most of the oil. After trying another cleanser, I realized just how poorly this stuff works.

This is fun to use, works pretty good for morning cleaning, doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. I use a different product for removing make-up so I don't know how well this would work for that, but for a simple cleanser I really like this!

LOVE. I really wasnt expecting this tho be full on shaving cream foam, but, it's pretty fun to use. I WANT to wash my face with this, it's no longer a chore. Cleans good (though, I dont wear foundation), doesnt dry me out, doesnt break me out. Doesnt have a strong smell, and doesnt irritate. Only drawback is, waaaay too much comes out, but, hey - it's so cheap I don't feel too bad about that. <3<3<3!!

I like this! I always put my hair back when I wash my face so maybe that helps! I wet my face first, just patting tepid water all over, and then I give one quick pump of this stuff, rub it in my hands (it's a VERY thick foam, almost more like solid hair mousse) and spread it on my face. I feel excellent afterwards and my skin looks clear and bright (though that might just be my dermatologist!) I might buy again but I like trying new cheap cleansers!

I'm a sucker for anything mousse/foam like or with anything that has white tea in it, so I was really excited to find this. The packaging is great. Small can with cap which is always nice for travel. Unfortunately, this stuff was a huge disappointment. It takes a lot of the foam to feel like you have enough to actually wash your face. Too little and it just disappears into a sticky, gooey mess. Doesn't get my makeup off AT ALL and I do not wear a lot of heavy makeup. I washed my face with this twice, and the towel I used on the 2nd go-round was full of makeup. I finally gave up and used my usual cleanser. Certainly won't be buying this again.
