I tried this out recently and was very underwhelmed by the results. The cleanser itself does a decent job at cleaning brushes but the issue is the consistency of the product. Its very thin and watery ...Read more

This us a good product. It disinfect your brushes and removed all the embedded makeup. My only quirk it's too expensive. Something like this shouldn't be more than 10.00. 20.00 Canadian is very stee...Read more

I like this. A LOT. When I use it straight from the bottle, I pour some into a Dixie cup, dip the brush in, add a little water, and work the crud through the bristles. Usually, that's all it takes b...Read more

I find the formula too thin and watery which leads to most of this cleanser running down the drain rather than on ending up on my brushes. The packaging could be better too, by having a pump instead ...Read more

I had been using MAC brush cleanser since I had bought a set of brushes 10 years ago, but didn't clean them often because the brush cleanser cost so much. It was fine for eye shadow but took a lot of...Read more

Works but does take longer to dry than what I'd call 'spot cleaning'. I use this in between deep cleans and not as the sole method of cleaning my brushes I pour some into a small plastic bowl and dip...Read more

It's good to remove make up of my brushes but I think it's expensive for what it is, and my brushes smell funny after using it.

This is a decent brush cleanser but it's definitely not worth the money. It gets the makeup out my brushes but it's nothing special or noteworthy.

Not worth $15! You need to much of this product to clean large brushes because it doesn't have a lather; however, it does get the white on my brushes back clean after palm cleaning for the third time ...Read more

To clean small and medium brushes, it's very effective. Bristles go back white, are clean and dry faster. For large brushes, this don't do a nice job, inside the brush it's still dirty. Because it doe...Read more
