Not a fan of this cleanser. It is super harsh and stings my skin- before and after application. Although it is great at removing make-up- especially dark/harsh eye make-up! Will not purchase again

It’s fine. Completely non irritating, foams up nicely, cleans my skin without making it feel stripped. However I consider it average. There are other cleansers that are more gentle, clean better,...

My all time favorite cleanser! It's very gentle to the point that you might doubt whether it's cleaning efficiently. I wasn't 100% convinced, until I used it to wash a powder foundation puff. It...

Hands down best cleanser I have ever used. Been using it for 2 years now for my dry skin- removes make up and tones my skin without drying.

This is my HG face cleanser. I have oily, acne-prone skin. This cleans my skin well (I rarely break out since using this) and it never dries out my skin. It smells kind of odd, herbal and woody,...
