A good basic foamy cleanser. It's mild and smells nice but I don't find it to be super-special, and I love other Caudalie products, so maybe I'll try another of their cleansers...

Freaking LOVE this!
So easy & smells kinda nice in a non offensive way.
2 pumps on a dry face, let it sit for a few min.
Wet hands, massage around the face with a bit of water & rinse completely.
Never had a forehead so perfect without bumps, acné, clogged pores or anything!
Also love the fact that you need almost NO water to make this work.
So imo it's great for dry skin.
Then again, this is really gentle so don't count on this as a heavy makeup remover.
Then again, i don't use makeup :)

I absolutely hated this product. I bought it at Sephora as it was a travel size face wash and figured I would give it a go. What happened was my face completely dried out giving me acne (which I NEVER get) and making my face feel gross.

+It makes my skin look so refreshing and clean! I love this sensation.
+The texture is so light and nice.
+I liek the smell , it's a really fresh , "wooded" scent.
+The pump is excellent.


-It dries out my skin but all foaming cleansers do that.
This one is not the worst.


Overall; I love this product , I will buy it again I think since I haven't find another cleanser which is able to leave such a fresh feeling like this one does!

OMG I didn't like this product at all! But all these glowing reviews make it looks like I'm alone on this boat. Well I appreciate the fact that it's a natural, irritant-free product but maybe it's *too* natural for my liking, if there's such a thing? I'm not even sure if it really cleanse my makeup or not. The texture is weird and unpleasant for me I must say. It reminds me the mousse hand soaps that some malls or airports have in their public restrooms. It's basically foam. Airy foam. Very expensive one for what it is too.

I have been using this cleanser for over 2 years now and I continue to use it because I like it so much. It is very gentle and good for all skin types. Don't let the price fool you - it appears to be expensive but it lasts 6 months or even longer! A little bit goes a long way.

This super soft gentle cleanser is natural, no nasty petrochemicals or other chemicals. It works super well for cleansing the skin mildly and for sensitive skin is great. It wont buff your skin but you can just buy a separate buffing cream for when you do need a good exfoliating.
The only thing that puts me off is the price, like all Caudalie products it is expensive, the brand has been marketed that way. However you do only need a few squirts of this lovely light mousse to have a lovely fresh clean face.

My favorite cleanser. I keep trying cheaper products, and I keep throwing them out/putting them aside and repurchasing this one. Gently but thoroughly removes all of my makeup, including stubborn mascara, liners, shadows, etc., WITHOUT using extra product (which means I dont waste product like some cheaper brands). I love the fragrance and the way my skin feels when I'm done. I've used Caudalie products, including moisturizers and other treatments for 10 years. I'm 53 and I'm very pleased with my skin!

I really love this fresh scented cleanser! It's gentle enough that it cleans my skin without stripping. No dry tightness afterward, just soft, clean skin that feels comfortable. It's slated for "normal/combination" skin, but it works great for my very oily skin.
I do have to use a separate makeup remover, but I've never met a face wash that took off every thing for me without some type of makeup remover or cleansing oil being used first.
A little bit goes a long way, worth the current price of $26 for five ounces for me. I use it twice daily, and one bottle lasts me three months. I use it by first dampening my hands and face, then I rub the foam into my skin. One pump is plenty for cleaning my face, neck, and hands.
This comes out of a pump top for sanitary and easy dispensing. No parabens, mineral oils, etc.
I definitely use this product religiously and so, yes, I would repurchase.

Love using this. Smells good and cleans my skin. If I use it twice a day, though, it does seem to dry out my skin. Will use it again in the summer when I'm a little more greasy.

I really like this cleanser. Its light, great for sensitive skin, and never leaves my skin feeling tight or pulled afterwards. It smells great too! Just note, don't expect this cleanser to take off any makeup. Use a makeup remover before using this product.

PICs of product and ingredients. I like to have a wash cleanser in the shower when I'm too lazy to use toner, cleansing waters, oils and milky cleansers. I was a bit skeptical to try this as I have dry/dehydrated/normal skin but it looked so cute-yes, what a smart justification indeed :) and I thought why not give it a go. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It is super airy and light in texture but it's a really effective cleanser. Does not dry out my skin and makes it feel super clean, but I do not use it more than twice a week just in case. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.
Retails for about 7euros for 50mls.
Stated on bottle: Without parabens, or phenoxyethanol, soap free and gas free- whatever the latter means!

I go this cleanser as part of the VinoGo Weekend Kit from Sephora. I was excited to try all of the products based on the reviews I read before purchasing. This is much better than the energizing cream ant the beauty exlir that came in the same kit.

The cleanser dispensing into a nice foam, which is good for my increasingly oily skin. I don't enjoy creamy face washes as much as foaming washes. The smell is a bit stronger than I was expecting, but it isn't unpleasant. The smell reminds me of the Joico shampoo I used many years ago.

The cleanser cleans well and removes eye makeup. It doesn't make my skin squeaky or tight. It is an ok cleanser, but I cannot imagine paying $26 dollars for a full size of this face wash. My $4 Purpose cleans just as well, so I will be sticking with that until I find my HG cleanser.

I'm on my 4th bottle of this now. I love the smell, the lightness and the fact that it leaves my skin fresh and clean with no tightness or irritation. I stopped using it for a while as I had a large Shiseido tester and after a week my pores looked larger and I got a few spots. The plastic packaging is great for travel and a little goes a very long way - one bottle usually lasts me 3-4 months and I use it morning and evening.

I will admit that I tried the Caudalie Instannt Foaming Cleanser based solely on the reviews here. I had to start somewhere with the research!
This cleanser is really light and airy but make no mistake it gets the job done. The scent is not too strong but I am leaning towards scent-free as I get older!
I do use DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil to break up the light makeup/moisturizer/serum trio that I wear on an everyday basis. The cleanser cleans the residual oil and mascara while the leaving the skin almost squeaky clean. This cleanser is more suited to someone who is on the oiler side of things I think or would be a great summer cleanser.
The price at $25 is kind of steep but I always used my Bath and Body Works coupon to take care of some of the cost.

Update~since I am on the Tazorac, this cleanser is way too strong! I am experimenting with other cleansers and will review those accordingly!

This is a foaming cleanser that lasts a long time. Also non-drying, which is nice for the dryer areas of my skin. The scent I can definitely do without - to me it smells not fresh at all and is the one reason I would not buy this product again.

Very nice cleanser...gentle, effective,non drying, luxurious, smells wonderful. Leaves my face clean and soft...no irritation. It use a couple of pumps on dry skin then water followed by a good rinse. Skincare is a very subjective but I recommend this pruduct.

I was using Kiss My Face exfoliating cleanser for about a year and it seemed fine but recently my skin has been much more combo than oily and I was breaking out A LOT. I went to Sephora and they recommended this cleanser because my skin has been more dry and angry than usual, and it seems to be doing the trick! I love how it feels, light and airy with a great smell, and my skin doesn't feel as tight after washing as it used to. The reviews of this cleanser seem to be hit or miss, but I am very particular about what I put on my acne prone skin and this seems to leave my skin feeling balanced, so I am not experiencing as many breakouts. I am happy to have found this product!! Also, The Caudalie cream cleanser has done wonders for my mom's dry skin.
