    Thinking that my husband has dry skin, I bought the full size (8 ounces) bottle of this. He loves it, although we later found out that he actually has combination skin whereby he'd have dry patches...

    I don't find this to be all that different from the One Step Cleanser for Normal to Oily/Combo. This one is milky, and lathers a little, and the Oily verion is a gel with no lather, but other than...

    I've been searching for a good, mild but thorough cleanser for my sensitive, breakout-prone, combo skin. This is definitely it! I totally feel like my face isn't stripped from it's natural oils but...

    I really, really like this cleanser to on my slightly dry, over-40 skin. I've read the mixed reviews, below, and I can understand how many consider it to be a "nothing special" cleanser. But it...

    This is a good cleanser, leaves skin pretty clean, but it's nothing really special. I have used it for a few months now. It has a nice texture, in between milky and foamy, but if leaves my skin...

    At first I liked this, but now I think that it is too drying and contributed to my breakouts. I liked the fact that it is unscented and that it is a silky milky texture. The search goes on!

    Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, not stripped like with some products. My skin is on the normal side but is sensitive. There is no scent which is a bonus. Will be buying again.

    Definitely the best facial cleanser that I've used. It takes off all traces of make-up and leaves a smooth, clean skin without any residue or skin irritation. Great stuff!
