description

A gel consisting of a non-foaming formula that thoroughly removes impurities without drying the skin. Its papaya and grapefruit extracts contain exfoliating properties that help to remove the build-up which is the cause of blackheads and pimples. The gel lessens skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its oil-free, non-lathering gel makes cleansing fuss-free.

On the search for a good papaya-enzyme cleanser (more natural than 'Likas Papaya' soap which works well but isn't all that great for the skin's PH) and stumbled upon this. The concentration of...

One of the worst cleansers I have tried. Very strong artificial fragrance. Also, it barely removes makeup and/or sunscreen. Is very good at stinging your eyes though. Does this also have dye in it?...

as others have noted, this smells "like a spa"...but that's a little more fragranced than I like for products near my face. Still, it delivers on its promise to not strip the oil , leaving skin...

I first got a sample of this, and it just smelt so good that I HAD to buy a full-sized one when it went on sale. Then I tried it out and it didn't work for me, for some reason - I somehow felt it...

I've used this for a couple of months, but I haven't noticed any difference with my skin. Feels kinda clean, but I had really high expectations on this one.

I know it shouldn't matter but I hate the way this smells. It's a really thick cleanser too.

Love love love this baby! For a dry skin girl like me I hate foamy cleansers which are super drying and my skin feels like sand paper till I moisturize. This is by far one of the best gel cleansers...
