    I didn't particularly care for this cleanser. It felt like it left a residue on my face and didn't seem to do much to clear up my skin. Also, as with many of Paula's products, it has a chemical...

    This stuff is awesome. It does not break me out, and it leaves my skin feeling soft. I think it's a little pricey, but it's worth it. I have never stuck with a facial cleanser for so long. I really...

    Paula's cleansers are like a little tougher guy than Cetaphil. Meaning they get all of your makeup off without leaving a film. Excellent. HG material for me! 16 oz $22 and I think the 8 oz is...

    This works really well for my combination/sensitive skin. I still need to use eye makeup remover, but that's probably to be expected. I purchased the pump dispenser, and I'm glad I did! I wish...

    This cleanser is great. I was using PC's Skin Balancing for about a year, and I really liked it, but somehow wasn't 100% satisfied -- somehow I was still having these little hormonal breakouts that...

    This is a great facial cleanser. It's very gentle and doesn't dry out my skin, but gets off all the dirt. I used to break out often, and I tried, ProActive, Aveda, Clinique, and so on. This...

    strangely, this doesn't work for me. It breaks me up, dries up my skin, doesn't clean as well and cleans a oiler film feeling after wash.

    I used this for the first time today, and I liked it. It does have a gel consistency, and it does look a tad like Cetaphil, only this is completely clear. It does not lather. It felt soothing on my...
