If you are looking for a great value that is a duplicate for Cetaphil skin cleanser, this is your product.
The formula is very similar to Cetaphil, maybe a bit more watery.
This cleanser is great for washing your face in the morning or if you don't need to remove make up, using as a body wash if you have sensitive or dry skin, or as a "dry" cleanser, because you don't need water to use this.
It doesn't strip your skin, but it doesn't dry it either.

I use this body wash if I get breakouts on my body. Because it contains salicylic acid, it works great at removing dead skin cells after sun exposure, heavy skin products like mineral sun blocks, or treating bumps related to skin not sloughing off dead skin (chicken skin).
I use it only on specific areas and avoid using it on dry or sensitive skin.
It smells amazing, and provides a great wake up in the morning.

I had not tried a lot of Pixi products when I picked this up. I wanted a retinol serum, and liked that it also had collagen. It really dried my skin, leaving flakes, etc. and I would get hard raised itchy bumps the day after using it.
I know retinol can be irritating and cause flakiness, but there are other products like Olay's Retinol 24 that don't cause these problems for those of us with sensitive skin.

I didn't see any real change in my skin when I used this product. I don't use a lot of peels because my skin is dry and sensitive, but I wanted to try this to see if it would help with black heads, etc. It seemed to work a bit better on my chest, but I've had to really glop it on to get any benefit.
My husband also tried it without seeing results.
I think there are better peels out there.

I received this as a sample. I found it was quite drying for my dry, sensitive, mature skin. I suspect it's formulated for oily skin.
I did not find that it refined my pores or made makeup less clingy on my skin texture. For this reason, it was not really effective for me.
It feels a bit like there's lots of alcohol in the product as it has a similar sensation of cooling and drying when you apply it.

I purchased the Lavender soap. The scent is noticeable, not subtle. I used this as suggested on the label and I found it to be a good product. I would have liked to use it in a pump hand wash dispenser, but it's not the best for this. This is a good product, but it's not something I love so I probably won't repurchase the liquid soap. -

Kirkland's body wash is gentle enough for my sensitive, dry, mature skin. It has a pleasant but not overly strong citrus fragrance that doesn't linger on the skin, so you can wear your other fragrances without having a clash of scents. I think it compares well to more expensive body washes.
A bonus is that you get a LOT of product and it comes in a convenient pump container.

I don't find this to be very moisturizing. I have dry, sensitive and mature skin. This is too harsh, and the scent is way too strong for me. We used this as a hand wash instead of a body wash, and it was still a bit overpowering and drying. I had to alternate between this and another hand wash in order to use it without irritating my skin. -

I received this product free at Superstore. Unfortunately, it's way too drying for my mature sensitive skin. We used it as a hand wash instead and that was ok, but I would not repurchase again.
The scent was ok for a drugstore brand, but I didn't really smell the blueberry.

XX begins with cardamom, apple and black currant. Because I love cardamom and black currant, this scent appeals to me. It's middle notes are violet, orange blossom and geranium. Base notes are coffee, sandalwood and cedar.
This is a men's fragrance, and it's very masculine, but if you like a spicy scent you may be ok with wearing it. I wear it. If there's a man in your life who enjoys a spicy scent, he'll probably like this one too.
The downside is the price. At over $100 it's not inexpensive.
