    This is a nice lighter cleanser that effectively cleanses the skin. I like that it is a lighter texture, and it doesn't strip my skin. It comes in the normal 200 mL size, and the value 400 mL size....

    My favorite cleanser, which I was convinced I'd already reviewed but turns out I'd imagined that! It's just the perfect consistency, not too drying yet not too mild so as to not cleanse properly....

    This cleanser is my absolute favourite facial cleanser. It is very difficult to find a good balance for my dry/combination skin and this is just brilliant. The formula is white and creamy, it foams...

    This is a great basic cleaner. It doesn’t strip my skin and it does clean off most makeup. I don’t notice any pore clearing properties. And I’m not sure my combo skin is any less oily, but it’s...

    I think this is the first time I’m reviewing something that is not actually for my skin type, and thus is bad for me, but probably good for someone with the skin type it’s actually intended...

    My HG cleanser. Does not dry out my skin and washes off my makeup like a dream. Only a small amount is needed, which makes this last and last. Excellent for oily skin as it does not strip the skin,...

    This could've been the holy grail of cleansers, but unfortunately there were a few flaws that I could not look past. The consistency of the cleanser is rather pleasant, and doesn't dry out your...
