Love this cleanser. It's a lot like the Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser but with a nicer, lighter texture that rinses off more easily. No frills, no fragrance, no lather, no gimmicks. Of all the cleanse...Read more

In my pursuit of an even gentler product than the Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleaner, I stumbled upon this cleanser. Upon receiving this product I noticed a red flag: "Benzyl Alcohol", a "bad" alcohol, was...Read more

A good basic cleanser without some of the yucky stuff. It doesn't irritate my skin, which is worth a 5, but it gets a 3 because it doesn't remove all the makeup off my face. I usually have to do two o...Read more

This is a great cleanser for sensitive skin. It doesn't foam but also doesn't leave a film. The texture is similar to Cetaphil cleanser but doesn't irritate me the way Cetaphil does. My derm rec'd thi...Read more

I am in love with this soapless cleanser. Free of dyes and perfumes, it's so gentle. I apply a generous amount to dry skin, massage my face for about 30 second, and then rinse. Afterwards my skin feel...Read more

This and CeraVe cleanser are my two favorites right now. This one skews a little drier than the CeraVe, so I'll probably use it more in the summer. It doesn't have fragrance, dyes, or any irritating...Read more

This is one of my biggest HG's. Although I generally have pretty oily, resistant skin (I can use fairly strong acids and peels w/o issue), it's become dreadfully sensitive to all cleansers. Basically,...Read more

After suffering with sensitive skin for a few years I figured I would at least give this a try since all other gentle cleanser ive tried have given me a rash or left my skin itchy. This is one of the ...Read more

This is very gentle and non-drying. It is much better than Cetaphil. I use this in the morning and on no makeup days. I normally don't use it as an evening cleanser because it does not remove makeup o...Read more
