    Tried this after good reviews, I'm not sure if this is my hg but it's definitely the closest I've gotten so far. Very gentle and can be used near the eyes, doesn't leave a film behind and rinses...

    This is a simple, fragrance-free non-foaming gel cleanser that I find rather difficult to rinse off the skin. Besides the rinsing issue, I find it is a very good cleanser--leaves my skin neither...

    I'm a fan of much of Paula's products - this is one of my faves. I have a very oily T-zone, which somehow in the winter gets very dry & flaky on top, while staying oily underneath. Add very mild...

    I got two samples from Paula's website and they lasted a whole week. It smooths out easily and feels so silky, cleansing ability is fine. I like its less creamy texture, but it's a bit drying so I...

    Love it! Removed my makeup thoroughly and I didn't need to use very much of it either. Tried the Almay cleanser and it left my face feeling greasy. PC, on the other hand, left it clean and soft...

    This is a very good cleanser that does a great job of removing all of my makeup. The reason for 4 lippies instead of 5 is that it is a little drying. But overall good, no stinging or irritation....

    I've been very pleasantly surprised by the results I've had with this cleanser. My skin is combination, and it seems to dry out my oily areas and moisturize my dry areas. It makes my skin look and...

    I love this face wash. Although some people think it smells odd or "off," I think it smells like a standard unscented product/lotion. It rises cleaner than any other face wash I've used, removes...

    I have normal to dry skin and I love this cleanser. It takes off all of my makeup effectively and it lasts forever, more than a year for me.
