After Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser left me with consistent tiny whiteheads (presumably from clogged pores), I was on the hunt for another affordable, moisturizing, and gentle cleanser. I picked...

I have oily, very sensitive/reactive, redness prone skin and really like this cleanser. After using Cerave Foaming for a couple of years, it was just getting to be too drying and wasn't the easiest...

I wasn’t expecting this to be a gel foaming cleanser, I was expecting it to be more like a cream cleanser, the kind I like to use in the AM. So instead, I’ve been using it at night, after using my...

I used this for about a year. I had continual whiteheads on my chin during that time. A dermatologist looked at my skin and said that my skincare was too rich. I stopped using this, and switched...

Love this cleanser, so simple and non-irritating with very simple surfectants. I don't hate the smell as much as others do, it's definitely medicinal but I find it really mild honestly! It's nice...

I was hoping for the best but I'm pretty sure that weirdly enough, I'm allergic to something in this cleanser. Rinsed it off and got a huge red itchy spot right above my lip. Love the moisturizer...

I couldn't handle this....or any foaming cleanser for that matter. Too drying for me. Back to Cetaphil gentle.

I'm saying I'd buy it again, but only because "maybe" isn't an option. I'm finishing up my bottle and totally on the fence. This would probably be great for someone with oily, sensitive skin. My...

I normally change my cleansers seasonally. During the winter - when my skin is dryer - I rely a lot of cream cleansers, but sometimes you just need a good foaming cleanser, you know? That's where...

Edit 4/14/2018: I reviewed this cleanser too early. I should have known better. Like most foaming cleansers, it ultimately made me break out in little flesh colored bumps. It also started to dry me...

This is the opposite of gentle. It made my face tight, dry, red and gave me dry patches to boot. I've used soap-based cleansers which are gentler than this. I'll stick to my micellar water.

HG. This cleans very well, takes off all my makeup (I don't double cleanse at all, just one round with this stuff) and keeps my sensitive/dry/acne prone skin calm. I've used it for a couple...
