I just bought this again after not using for awhile. It doesn't dry my skin and I didn't experience any breakouts so big pluses there but what I realized is that it didn't remove my makeup. I...

I have used 3 samples of this cleanser, so I cannot judge this by it's performance for a longer period, but what I can say is that it is very very drying. I have oily sensitive skin and this...

Fabulous cleanser. My skin is combination and it gets the makeup off, doesn't feel greasy and doesn't dry out my skin. As I have oily skin in the T-zone and large pores I need to use a grainy scrub...

PC Cleansers are my HG! They don't strip your skin and leave it dry yet they leave it super clean and take all your make up off. I barely need eye makeup remover anymore. I've tried three of...

This stuff is good, but a smidge more than I would pay for a cleanser, when you factor in the shipping and duty. I think it cleaned sufficiently but didn't knock my socks off. It also left my face...

I love this cleanser. I am so sensitive sometimes, even Cetaphil irritates me sometimes (But I think my skin doesn't like something in it). This is one of the best cleansers I have found in years....

Yuck. While I LOVE the consistency of this cleanser and how well it rinses off, it DRIES out my face terribly. It also makes me BREAK OUT, more than with any other cleanser I've tried. Very, very...

Definitely the BEST Facial Cleanser I've ever used. VERY Smooth and you only need a tiny amount to cover your WHOLE face. Goes onto your skin smooth and removes all the dirt. Washes off easily...
