    This is my favorite skin product by far! I've been using this close to a year now and haven't looked back. I have tried many cleansers over the years but nothing ever worked as well as this for my oily acne prone skin. While it is a bit costly compared to other cleansers a little goes a long way and one bottle can last you quite a long time.

    I tried a sample of this product and have been using it ever since. A little goes a long way and froths up into a nice creamy lather. Leaves my face feeling clean and soft.

    I bought this cleanser because it's rated highly everywhere, but I hated it! First, it left my face feeling way too clean. When I say clean I mean dry, tight, and like it completely stripped my skin of all of my natural oils. Way too harsh for my sensitive skin! To top it all off I had a terrible allergic reaction to it, and my skin was covered in burning red bumps for a week. I wanted to love this but it's a heck no for me.

    I started using this based on a recommendation from a beauty consultant. She actually worked for Estée Lauder and recommended this over their products. I struggled with oily areas and dry areas. I also struggled with adult acne. The smell of this product is light and refreshing. It's frothy foamy goodness makes your face feel super clean. You only have to use a tiny amount and it lathers up really well to cover your entire face. This is slightly more expensive than a regular face wash but it lasts twice as long. This has helped calm my crazy skin. I am in love with this product and will probably never switch.

    This is a really great face wash! A little goes a long way as it lathers up super well. I have an oily tzone and dry skin everywhere else on my face so I find that it's extremely hard to find a face wash that works well for both of my skin concerns. This is such a nice cleanser though! It left my skin soft and smooth and didn't dry out my cheeks or forehead, but also mattified my nose a bit. It's a bit pricey compared to drugstore cleansers and scrubs, but pretty cheap for something you'd find at Sephora, so I don't mind. It's also a big bottle, and you only need a little bit so it lasts a long time. The one con of this would have to be its scent. The first time I used it I was sooo turned off by it. I've since gotten more used to it, and ignore it as much as I can. I'd rate it a 8/10.

    This product really surprised me. I bought it on a whim because I was looking to get a good cleanser and the girl at the Sephora I was at really sold me on it. It was 26 dollars so it was a little pricey. But when I found that all I needed was a pea-sized amount each time I realized it was WELL worth the money. With that little amount it spreads all over your face and then some. It really does foam up and lather around nicely. Not only that, but it makes your skin actually feel squeaky clean afterwards. Almost as if you physically scrapped a layer of dirt off because my face actually did make kind of a squeak sound. My pores felt like they could breathe. In terms of keeping my skin in check - as they advertise - it totally worked. My breakouts were minimal and my skin in general felt clean all day. A great every day cleanser.

    At first I liked the texture as well as the smell of this product, however, it seemed to dry my skin so badly despite the fact that I have combination skin. It might suit other skin types but didn't suit me.

    I think this is my favourite moisturizer I have used! It lathers so nicely, smells great and leaves your face feeling so clean! I use it with my clarisonic and it works great. Right now I am trying purity by philosophy but I don't like it as much! I will definitely be purchasing this!

    This is one of my very favorite cleansers. It is awesome for morning or evening use to remove your makeup. If you have heavy eye make up one then I recommend using eye make remover first. Cleans skin without over drying or stripping it of essentials. Smells clean and fresh. I purchase from Sephora.
