    This is a really fine product. It gives a fresh, clean feeling without creating dryness or sensitivity. Removes light makeup well.

    I know this product is expensive but its amazing. I find it to be a little to expensive to use everyday so I typically use it on those days when I don't have much makeup on. It may be surprising to know but this actually removes makeup pretty well! You may still have to use a makeup remover, but you can always try this first for your eye makeup ( if its light) if you find your self sensitive you the alcohol based removers.
    This foaming gel has a very light smell, personally what I smell is just cleanliness. It cleans the skin well and I find that it doesn't strip your skin of much moisture.

    This product is a little more high end, but its great if you want a good cleanser that works for sensitive skin.

    This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin and react to some products. I got this product recommended from the pharmacy skincare ladies. It worked extremely well and always left my face feeling wonderful and smooth. It cleared my blemishes and gave me a great complexion. It is quite expensive that I can remember, but worth it.

    I've got to say that I really did like this. When I went to buy a cleanser, I was actually going in to buy the Vichy gel cleanser that I always use, but this one ended up being a little bit cheaper. It really cleanses your skin, but I wouldn't recommend using it everyday. I have a feeling that using it too often would strip my skin of essential oils. The scent isn't strong, in fact, there's barely any scent. Since I'd never tried a pH balancing cleanser I can't really compare this to any other one. But I did find that this one is meant for oily skin, which isn't terrible for me because I have combination skin.

    Overall, for the gel cleansers in this price range, this was pretty good.

    This product is supposed to be for oily sensitive skin. I use this occasionally because it is noticeably stripping of the natural oils. However, it is nice for your face to be nice and clean and free of oils. It foams up a lot because besides water, sodium laureth sulfate is the greatest percentage ingredient in the product. It is sulphate free yet it has a fragrance. The fragrance may be irritating but it never irritates my skin or annoys me. It is the scent in all effaclar products that I know of. It feels like water on the skin and unless you are washing your face with a mirror, you won't be able to see where the foam has travelled and if you need to apply more. I find I need about one to two large pea sizes of this product for my face. It is a great product but I will probably not repurchase just because of the price!
