    This is my HG Cleaner! It cleans all my makeup off and leaves my skin feeling soft afterward. I have Roscea and this has helped keep redness at bay because it is so gentile (yet effective). I...

    This cleanser was recommended by Paula for rosacea sufferers who have normal to oily/combination skin. It is a clear, light, non-foaming gel cleanser. A quarter-sized amount is plenty and the...

    Ok, so I had some time to really play with this cleanser. It is not good for removing makeup. In my perfect world there would be no need for a separate eye makeup remover. As a morning cleanser...

    The main concern I have about this product is the parabens it contains! I have no idea why Paula Begoun, who is so ingredient-focused, puts parabens in this cleanser and her exfoliators. They...

    I love this cleanser. However, it reminds me of cetaphil, and I feel like i'm paying more for something I can find cheaper at target. I'm using this up though as it's great and have a cetaphil on...

    This was nice enough but i dont like spending money on cleaners, so for half the price I've gone back to Neutrogena/Olay cleansers (as recommended by Paula!)

    I really like this cleanser. It cleanses very well and it leaves my skin clean and soft. It doesn't dry my skin out like many other cleansers do. I don't wear heavy make up, but it removes the make...

    I used a few samples of this cleanser, and didn’t like it (I usually don’t like milky cleansers, I prefer thicker formulas). The consistency is too runny and it smells weird. This one contains...

    The Perfect cleanser. It has no smell, rinses easily and cleans really well. I don't think I'd ever stop repurchasing this unless it was discontinued.
