I'm quite mad that they discontinued this, this was like HG cleaner for years, it did minimize pores and was refreshing, the only con was when you would get down to the bottom and it was almost used up the little cleansing balls would bunch up and I would have to cut this in half to get to the rest of the product
I wish they would bring this back

Love it!
I got the package with the pump , tubes really waste a ton of product imho and who likes closing everytime the cap?.
This gel cleanser gives you a pleasant "clean" feeling, I confess my sensitive skin takes the cool effect as a bit stinging and reddening, but I like the awakened skin sensation. It has also one great delicate smell I 'm sure you'll like. Removes any traces of makeup as well, minus under eye mascara which require a cleanser safe to put on eyes . Still checking the pore minimizing asset .... Overall Thumb up!

Horrible just horrible doesn't do what it claims, the texture is like thick slime, and the feeling while lathering is beyond awful. The blue beads are absolutely useless and doesn't exfoliate. The only pro is that it's very cheap for a face wash.

WOULD BUY AGAIN AS A CLENSER NOT FOR MINIMIZING PORES. IT TOOK OFF ALL MY FACE MAKEUP AND DID NOT LEAVE MY SKIN DRY.

Meh... not the best not the worst.
Pros: makes skin feel really soft & it's cheap!
Cons: Does not minimize pores really, if that's what you are looking for. The beads in this face wash are few and far between!
Said I wouldn't buy it again because I can find other face washes that make my skin smooth AND do what they say.

I love this cleanser. It's pretty cheap and it makes my skin feel really nice. It doesn't dry out my skin (even on days when I wash my face 3 or 4 times) and it doesn't make my skin feel uncomfortable taught.
It smells nice.

I actually like this face wash a lot. It does have a slight effect on my pores, and I can feel a bit of the same "tightening" sensation that I get from using a clay mask. It smells good, and leaves my skin feeling really clean and not dried out. My skin has been looking more even and glowy than usual since I've started using it.


However, the exfoliating beads in it are totally useless. There just aren't enough of them. For the average blob that I use for one wash, there will be like one bead on my forehead, two on my cheek and a few near my nose. The rest of the beads get trapped between my fingers and never touch my face.


The other day I felt something tickling my nostril. I poked a finger in and a little green dot fell out. How gross would that be if it happened in pubic? So be careful that the beads don't go up your nose. And if you need a good exfoliator, this is not it. It's a good facewash, but not an exfoliator.

I really like this.
It smelled good, cleaned everything off, felt good and was okay about my pores.
It was fun to use, and I actually would steal it from my older sis b/c I liked it so much. This didn't irritate me, give me any pimples and woke me up in the morning.
I will buy this again sometime down the road, when my never ending tube empties!

This face wash does a great job at cleansing and removing makeup from my face, but I haven't noticed any shrinkage in the size of my pores (not that they were big to begin with). It died dry out my skin a bit but I put on moisturizer right after I wash my face anyways so it wasn't a big deal.

It is reasonably priced, and I would recommended it to anyone who doesn't have sensitive skin.

I've been using this product for a few days now and there are a few things I like about it.This product would be best used as a cleanser it makes my face feel soft and it smells good,however I saw no shrinkage to my pores.This product didn't harm my face but it didn't help it either.

This burned my skin and made it very dry. Not good for sensitive skin. I didn't use it long enough to see any pore minimizing results, but I doubt it does anything.

I bought this product based on the good reviews I found here. I have large pores. And this does SLIGHTLY minimize the look. But when I momentarily stopped using it, my pores were "large" again. I still feel greasy, and I shine. It doesn't make me feel like my face is squeaky clean. I haven't had any breakouts, but I don't think it's done much to "improve" my skin. It's an okay product. I can see how it may work for others, but I don't think I'll be purchasing this product in the near future.

well..during the first few weeks of using it it almost completely cleared up my skin i don't know if it's cuz of the combination of this and retina but it made both my cheeks and half my forehead almost completely clear of the inflamed blackheads. but the thing is if you keep using it (as with any cleanser/skin treatment) your skin will naturally adjust so that it won't have an effect anymore unless you switch with another cleanser and not use this one for a looong time and then go back to it.

Cons:
Doesn't minimize pores.
Scrubbing beads do nothing but fall in between your fingers or get trapped in your hair.

That being said, the only reason I got this was I needed a cleanser that CLEANSED. A lot of other cleansers I've used would do absolutely nothing to remove dirt, oil or makeup.

This does the job in a single application. Yes, it does leave your skin a bit dry, but who doesn't put on moisturizer afterward anyway?

I have been using this cleanser for about 2 weeks and it works fine for me. It does take all the moisture from your skin so if your prone to dryness, I wouldn't use this. I haven't noticed a difference in my pores, but I also didn't buy the moisterizer which is supposed to do that. I did notice that if I left it on too long, it made my skin burn a little but it didn't make me break out. It's an okay cleanser for people with oily skin.

This gentle cleanser does a great job at removing dirt and excess oil as well as make-up. As for minimizing pores, I don't think it has any effect unless you utilize the moisturizer afterwards.

I bought this cleanser for removing makeup and for gentle exfoliation. It does make a nice lather (but not foam), and the fruity scent is very nice. However, this product fell short in almost every other way. It was extremely difficult to rinse all traces of it from my face. There were very few beads for exfoliation, and what few there were found their way to my hairline, even though I'd clipped my hair away from my face. I couldn't see any pore "minimization" or feel that my skin had been exfoliated. This wash is supposed to be oil-free, and it certainly didn't add oil to my skin. In fact, when I was finished, my face was uncomfortably tight, shiny, and completely stripped of oil. This might be the ideal face wash for people with extremely oily skin.
