I used to use this cleanser years ago but being the beauty junkie that I am new products led me astray. My skin is extremely sensitive. Just one touch and I'm red. Often times products labeled for sensitive skin break me out so it is a challange to find products that work for me. I am so glad I found my way back to this cleanser. It takes off my makeup. Sometimes not all my mascara when I'm wearing the heavy stuff but a little vaseline takes care of the little bit left behind. It leaves my skin super soft and plump (if that makes any sense). I highly recommend this cleanser.

this a great mild cleanser. i have sensitive/normal/oily skin and i was looking for a soap type substitute. it seems to remove all my facial makeup, but i still use cold cream with a cotton pad to get rid of eye makeup.

i used to remove my makeup with Cetaphil, then rinse afterwards so this is a little more work. however, I think Cetaphil caused milia...

this is your basic no-nonsense foaming face cleaner, works pretty well, doesn't dry and costs 4 bucks a bottle.

i would buy it again (i have a new bottle of alpha hydrox foaming cleanser too now that MUAers rave about, so we'll see which i stick with)

This has been my favorite face wash of all time! It is good at taking my make-up off, it makes me skin feel soft, and it is dirt cheap. My HG!!!
UPDATE: I am still using this product, even with the new packaging it works great. Still no break-outs and it makes my skin feel smooth, fresh, and clean.

After trying almost all of the Cetaphil cleansers, I noticed that they didn't remove makeup as well as I hoped. My derm then suggested the OoO foaming face wash, and can I say I am impressed!! I love the fact that it totally removes all of my makeup, and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It also has no additives, so it doesn't change the PH level of your skin (prompting breakouts, dryness, etc.). I've been using it a little over a week, and have already received compliments on my skin complexion. It has definately given me greater confidence when I choose not to wear my makeup because my skin looks and feels great!

This is the best gentle foaming cleanser I've ever tried. It's not luxurious at all (no scent, no cool disposable washcloth), but it gets the job done and does it well. I really like how it takes off all my make-up (including eye make-up) and doesn't sting at all, even when my eyes and face were irritated because of allergies. While I do miss my Olay Daily Facials, I had to give those up because I needed a non-BHA cleanser, and this one is absolutely wonderful! Plus, it didn't break me out at all (even Cetaphil causes cystic acne on me).

this is my grail cleanser for the morning. i have combo skin (oily in the t-zone,) and it doesn't strip my skin at all. this will not leave you squeeky clean, but will give you nice soft skin. since i started using it my random breakouts have stopped, and i am less oily.

I absolutely love this cleanser and so far, this is the best by far. I have tried a lot in all price ranges. I love how it foams up and it doesn't have any fragrance. My skin feels so soft and clean after. I'm so glad I read the reviews for it; otherwise, I would have never given it a try. Thanks MUA members!

Overall, I'd say this isn't a bad product if it suits your skin-type. It removes make-up pretty thoroughly for a "sensitive skin" cleanser and is one of the few foaming cleansers I've found that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight immediately afterwards. Unfortunately, after using this for a while I developed those dry red patches on my cheeks that are a clear sign of overly-drying cleansers. I now use Paula's Choice Skin Recovery, which has become my holy grail cleanser. If your skin isn't too dry or sensitive the Olay may work for you, but be aware that the company uses animal testing.

This cleanser is amazing! It is gentle but it removes all my makeup. It is not drying and does not leave my skin feeling tight. It doesn't irritate my skin and it all washes off easily without leaving residue. The pump bottle makes life easier. At $4 a bottle, you really can't go wrong with it.

I think this is my second time reviewing this item.
I've been using this face wash for the past 6 or 7 yrs. Seriously, its the only face wash that really cleans my face without leaving any residue. I will buy this til it discontinue.

This is a great cleanser for my combo, acne-prone skin. It removes all of my makeup, rinses well, and doesn't leave my face feeling dry at all. There's no annoying scent, and I only paid $3.70 for it at Walmart.

I really like this cleanser for winter since my combo skin has become prone to dryness. I don't have sensitive skin but tried this after reading the reviews and find that it works wonderfully for me :) It doesn't foam a great deal (which I sort of like) and does NOT break me out so I really like this alternative. I still prefer my PC cleanser for summer since it handles my oily side better. -------------Update: I knocked a lipstick off b/c I've noticed increased dryness after I use this cleanser as compared with my PC or Sage for regular skin. Still a good drugstore cleanser but not my favorite.

Holy Grail finally!! This is the ONLY cleanser I have found that doesn't leave my skin dry after washing (and I have tried ALOT!) No breakouts, pump bottle, and smooth skin!!!**Update** I still use this once a week for deep cleaning, BUT realized it was the culprit of my flakies. will use in the summer instead.

This is my "Holy Grail" cleanser. It was first brought to my attention on GMA which did a segment on the top cleansers..I have rosacea and this is one of the most gentle cleansers I have come by..It has no fragrance, leaves skin soft, cleans well, and does not irritate..For $3.60, you can't beat it..It beats my $35.00 Clientele Elastology wash by a longshot..One of those cases of, "expensive doesn't mean better."

This is the first face wash I've found that really cleans my skin without drying it out, even in winter. It foams well, rinses clean, and has no scent. I just bought my fourth bottle--a miracle!

i use this to wash my face twice a day, every day. I have mildly sensitive skin that is also dry. I find that it works great and makes my skin feel really smooth. It foams well and i would surely purchase it again. It also does a fine job of removing my makeup, including mascara.

I have very sensitive skin that has been very dry lately due to the cold winter weather. On a whim I decided to pick this up. I was using J&J Head To Toe Wash but I thought that it was making my skin more dry. The OoO wash is great. It takes off all of my make-up and leaves my skin nice and soft instead of dry. I will purchase this again when I run out.

This face wash cleans my face and takes off all the makeup without overdrying. My face is really dry in these winter months and this facewash really helped. The only problem is that it stings my eyes after washing the make up of my eyes with it.

This is a great basic face wash. It does foam nicely, but does not leave my skin dry or tight, in the least bit. It takes every bit of makeup off, and rinses off completely. My face feels nice and clean, not tight and squeaky. (which is bad!:}) And i love the pump bottle, so nice and easy! I always have some on hand, it's my old standby!
