Most Helpful Positive Review Great product for sensitive skin I use this product daily, it works very well for sensitive skin. I was starting to really break out around my cheek area and my skin was becoming very dry. I wasn't exactly sure what was causing it but using this product greatly helped. I rinse it off with water and have never tried to just wipe it off, not sure if it would leave a residual feeling. This product leaves my face feeling soft and clean. I recommend for anyone who has sensitive skin.
Most Helpful Critical Review Is my face really clean? I could be convinced to change this product to a 4 or even 5 if I knew my skin was really getting clean and the makeup removal was better.
So years ago they used to have another cleanser that used Centella and was for sensitive skin. They discontinued that cleanser and I have had the darndest time re-creating the combo of products for my skin since. So you can imagine my excitement when this product came out. However, it is VERY different from the old product.
I do tend to have dry skin so the moisturizing qualities are great, but it definitely feels more like it is adding something to your face and not really cleaning it. My monthly breakouts have gone down, which is great. But my bigger fear was confirmed the first time I thought I had washed my makeup off.
When I went to dry my face all of my foundation and makeup (which I don't use very much of) was on the towel. And this happened several more times. So I worry that my face is not REALLY being cleaned. Perhaps the better use of this product is to wipe it with a cotton pad or a few to remove the dirt and oils and then you are clean?
Again, my skin looks great and I don't wear makeup often. But I would love some feedback from Kiehls about the residue and full makeup towels?

I have been using this cleanser for a few months now. I had a terrible break out from wearing the masks all the time. This cleanser has helped to sooth and clear up my skin. My skin actually looks better than it ever has looked! I love the feel of it too! So happy I found this cleanser! I just wish Kiehls would bring back their Centella Recover Skin Salve. Another amazing product. Unfortunately it has been discontinued.
This works! 5

I have struggled with sensitive skin my whole life. This cleanser is wonderful. It removes all traces of makeup AND leaves my skin soft, smooth and hydrated. I've said goodbye to red, aggravated skin. I love it! If I could give it a million stars I would. I'm so grateful to Kiehls for offering this amazing line of products for sensitive skin.
Finally! A Cleanser for Dry Sensitive Skin! 5
sebs from Savannah, GA
I have been using this for about a month now, and I am loving it! I have dry sensitive skin, and most of the time, even the mildest cleansers leave my skin dry and feeling tight (looking at you, Cucumber Herbal cleanser!). This cleanser leaves my face feeling dewy and hydrated. This is probably the feeling other reviewers are referring to when they say they aren't sure if this is actually cleaning their face or not. Full disclosure: I don't wear makeup. So that could very well be an issue for people who are relying on a cleanser to clean off makeup. But if you need a gentle cleanser that won't dry you out, try this - I promise you won't be disappointed!
Buyer beware 2
Gab from NYC
Labeling this a centella cleanser is bordering on false advertisement, centella is so low on the ingredient list it's barely a factor in the cleansing properties of this product. Any role it would play in your routine is extremely minimal so I truly stress reading up on the other and more concentrated ingredients in this product before making your final purchasing decisions. This did not irritate my sensitive skin, but it did not cleanse very well for me and my skin looked very congested after about a week of using this as it just didn't do a good enough job for what I need in a cleanser.
Best cleanser I've ever used 5
Fitnessmom from Swanton Vermont
This is the most moisturizing cleanser i have ever used in my life, and I've tried all the most popular ones you hear about on YouTube and many of them are more expensive. I'm so over buying from a bunch of brands and having the products disappoint me so lately I've just been sticking with kiehl's products and haven't had any issues with anything. This is now my holy grail cleanser, and it pairs so well with their daily moisturizer (another one of my holy grails) just really can't go wrong with anything from this brand.
perfect 5

Love this cleanser and the cantella moisturizing cream!!! Perfect for the most sensitive and reactive skin. My skin is dry, sensitive, and acne prone. This product has never left my skin feeling irritated! Super gentle product that electively cleanses.
Miracle Cleanser!!! 5
Katelyn from Edmond, OK
This is my new holy grail!! Cleared all of my existing breakouts and stopped the skin on my face from pilling! It is a little bit thick but it doesn't bother me as it leaves my face super moisturized. A little goes a long way!
SO WORTH IT! 5
SarahNJDevil from NJ
My face doesn't need a reason to get red and bumpy so the products I use on it have to be gentle. This is the first cleanser my face doesn't rage over. I've started to use a full morning and night skincare routine with all Kiehl's products and it's changing my skin. It's quite an investment but I'm a grown up now at 39 and have to start taking care of my skin as such. You really get what you pay for with Kiehl's I tortured myself far too long with cheap products!
Perfect for sensitive 5

Left my face super smooth and hydrated after just one use! I'm amazed!
Perfect for sensitive skin 5
Wildflower from Norfolk, VA
I love this cleanser! I?d been searching for one that is super gentle and nourishing, and this gem is perfect. Also great for super dry skin, or skin that?s irritated from skin treatments or the sun. Also, a little goes a long way, so the bottle will last you forever! I have combination skin and it works great. May not be for super oily skin, as it is very moisturizing.

Great for very dry skin 5
Celeriac from undisclosed
I have really been appreciating the cleanser this winter. I have eczema and have combination skin but often get very dry patches in winter, and to mitigate that, per my dermatologist, I had mostly stopped washing my face and body with any kind of soap. I had previously tried using coconut oil scrubs and washes from various other companies and didn't care for it, as my skin came out feeling greasy and itchy; this cleanser is definitely thick but not oily and I don't feel like there is a residue afterward. This is a great product to use on dry areas--I use it on my face, elbows, and other dry patches, and my skin comes out feeling clean and hydrated but not oily. I do rinse lightly afterward, which the instructions say is optional.
Not a good clean. 2

This left a residue on my skin. And felt heavy and gross.
Finally a product for me 5
Cath from Philadelphia, PA
My daughter has been a fan of Kiel?s since she was a teenager. While I love Creme de Corps, the face cleansers made my skin burn. While visiting the counter with my daughter, the consultant gave me some of the cleanser and the cream as a sample. I?m in love. Finally, a quality product that doesn?t make my face greasy and doesn?t burn. I?ll be picking this up full sized this week.
Not Great for Me 3
AkMn from Saint Paul, MN
I love Kiehl's and always appreciate trying their new products. I gave this a try because I do have very sensitive skin, however, this one wasn't for me. My face never really felt super clean after using it and my face felt oily afterwards. Might be fantastic for people with dryer skin.
