    Very good at removing makeup! It's a decent no frills cleanser that is good for sensitive skin. I agree that I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin as it isn't very moisturizing but it's not...

    I think this is a very good cleanser but more for normal or combination skin skin rather than dry skin.

    This cleanser works well. No fragrance. No nonsense. Low suds. Quite simply it removes makeup without making my skin feel stripped. The price is reasonable. Nevertheless, I like Philosophy's...

    feels nice at first and I liked it...but I keep getting large deep zits/cyst like. I have stopped the product and tried again a few more times many months later...but I still break out.

    I like this cleanser. I got the kit for Normal/Dry skin that breaks out. This is a very gentle cleanser that throughly cleans the skin yet doesn't dry it out or leave a gross film. So far, I'm...

    I use this cleanser at night to take my makeup off. It is gentle and moisturizing and has no irritating fragrance. Does not lather but takes off makeup really well.
