A makeup artist friend of mine recommended I use this cleanser for my ruddy, sensitive complexion. It is one of the only cleansers that calms my skin and cleans it. I don't have to use a makeup...

Extraordinarily gentle, nice smell and great feel. You'll have to use a makeup remover for any eye makeup and an exfoliator at least once a week, if not several times. It leaves my skin soft...

This product, in a nutshell, doesn't clean well, yet dries out my sensitive skin. I really wanted to like this cleanser. I've used and liked a couple of other Zia products. This one promises that...

I received this as a Christmas present and I LOVE it. It's helped with my adult acne (stress-induced) and rinses wonderfully clean. The scent is pleasant, clean, and not too strong. I don't think...

This cleanser was too harsh for my sensitive skin. I was really surprised (and disappointed) at how much it burned my skin.

New formulation makes this an entirely different product. Not a little change, almost all the ingredients are different. I've used this for years, and frankly I'll have to give it up now. It gives...

Cleanses well without stripping or leaving a film. Seems to really calm my finnicky complexion -- which is really saying something. I have problems with sulfates, so this cleanser is just the...

UPDATE: After a closer look I realized this was making my rosacea worse and I had to stop using it. Plus, it does not remove makeup on its own.

The trick to this cleanser is to rub it in as best as you can to lift away any dirt or makeup you have. My face feels soft and is left with a nice, glow. I really don't like the strong ylang-ylang...

I have been using this cleansing gel for about 6 mths now. I used to use a harsh detergent-type cleanser but when I discovered that I have very dry, slightly sensitive skin I switched to this gel...

I love the smell of this product. I think it is ylang ylang. So if you like that smell, you will love this cleanser. It is very gentle, but I wouldn't use a washcloth or it would just get soaked...

I love this cleanser--it's been a HG for me because it doesn't strip my skin or clog pores. Anyway, this is a brilliant finisher--I tend to remove my make-up with Shu Uemura a/o cleansing oil and...

I've been using this cleanser for about 8 months now, after years of using a new cleanser every time I ran out- I just couldn't find one I liked. I have pretty normal, non-sensitive skin with the...

Well, I think this stuff probably works best with a washcloth, which I don't usually use (I like to wash/rinse using my hands only). That's because you'll probably need the extra friction to get...

I did not like this at first, but as the weather got colder, it seems to be better suited for my face. I like foaming cleansers, so I had to get used to actually cleaning my face without the foam....

I wish this would have worked for me. I think my skin is just too temperamental to tolerate any sort of gel cleansers at all anymore, my skin flakes whenever I use them now. It is still an OK...

Not a bad cleanser, but I dreaded using it because I hated the smell, so I stopped using it.

This is my favorite cleanser and I hope I will never have to switch! I have rosacea and it seems most cleansers and moisturizers sting upon application. This one is soothing, which is a first.
