Most Helpful Positive Review Really enjoyed this gentle cleanser! I received this cleanser as part of a social networking campaign, along with four of banila's cleansing balms. Now I will be the first to admit that cleansing my face is probably the step in my skincare routine that I enjoy the least. I've heard about the double cleanse method for awhile, and tried different variations of it, but they were just too much of a hassle. Since trying banila's products, I actually look forward to cleansing my face. It has become a time to relax and remove the impurities of the day. This cleanser is perfect to follow up with after using a cleansing balm. You only need the smallest amount and it works into a creamy lather that rinses away easily to reveal soft, clean, supple skin. Most foaming cleansers I have tried leave my skin feeling stripped of all moisture. More recently I have been using a hydrating cleanser that doesn't lather at all, but although it is gentle, I don't feel like it is as effective at actually cleaning away dirt, makeup, and whatever impurities have collected on my face throughout the day.
I was just super impressed with this cleanser and will consider purchasing in the future, after I've used up all of the other cleansers I have in my line up. My skin is combination, so I think this would be a good cleanser for most skin types.
Most Helpful Critical Review Wanted to love it but it stings my eyes! I'm always looking for gentle cleansers for my face, especially since I use a regimen of heavy duty skincare (acids, retinols etc) regularly. Because of this, I stay away from cleansers with fragrance because as tend to be irritating. I didn't see a fragrance listed on the ingredients for this cleanser but it did have a soft powdery scent that I actually really liked, not overpowering at all. The problem I had with this cleaner actually has nothing to do with my skin, which it left soft and well-hydrated, but my EYES. Every single time I used it, it stung my eyes like crazy! There is an ingredient in there that is irritating to my very resilient eyeballs (I'm a contact lens wearer and have high tolerance for things touching my eyes). It's not like I'm washing my face with my eyes wide open or anything—I have them shut tightly just like I do with all the other cleansers I've used in my life! Something in there migrates and stings my eyes in a way other cleansers have not done before. Such a shame because I love everything else about it. If you're interested in trying out this cleanser I recommend you get a sample of it first to make sure your eyeballs will vibe with it.

Love this product! A pea-sized amount works into a really good lather. I use this after the Zero balm (I use the balm even if i didn't wear makeup that day), and my skin feels wonderfully clean afterwards. I have oily skin, and my face feels a bit dry, so I also use a lightweight moisturizer. Highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin and looking for a simple cleanser.

My go-to cleanser 5
Bella from Oregon
I've used this cleanser for about 5 years and was really glad to see Ulta begin carrying it. I use it twice every day, once in the morning and again at night. Cleans your face without stripping it.
Good Cleanser 4

This cleanser is pretty good. It effectively removes the excess oils on my face without stripping it too much . It leaves my skin clean and comfortable.

ruby from MN
I bought and used this product back in April 2020 and my skin is better than I have ever seen. My skin type is combination skin type, which is oily T-zone and dry cheeks. The redness and acne on my cheeks has become smaller and less red. Plus, my T-zone isn't as oily as it was before.
I've tried better. 2

I wanted to like this product but it didn't do much for me. It didn't wash off all my makeup. It left a weird residue after washing. Kind of like that feeling when you use the cheap hotel bar soap. The smell wasn't the best but it wasn't the worse. I broke out a little bit but I think that was just my skin adjusting to a new product. I think the only thing I really liked about it was that a little bit of product produced such a nice rich lather.
I will never use anything else again 5
Jess from Tampa, FL
I was very surprised by this face wash. Within 10 minutes of using it, my skin looked and felt better. I am VERY sensitive to a lot of ingredients used in skincare. I have a lot of allergies, and many of the skincare items out there leave my face red, blotchy, and burning. But the facewash I was previously using was making my skin way too dry. It's been a long road for me and always a struggle to find good skincare that won't irritate my skin in some way or another. I will forever use this product. It goes great with the Clean it Zero cleansing balm, and the Dear hydration balancing moisturizer. I know there are a lot of people out there with the same issues as me, so maybe if this line helped me it can help you too!!
I would buy this product again 5
Lea R from New York, NY
I liked this cleanser a lot. It was more creamy than foamy (which I actually prefer and why I would purchase). The scent is a very clean smell and one that is refreshing. It went on my face easily and my skin felt smooth and very clean afterwards. It was also wash time wash off and required no scrubbing.
Great face cleanser 5
Hills from Denver, Colorado
I received this cleanser as a gift. This cleanser is so great to remove all of my make up after a long day. My skin feel really smooth and clean afterwards. My skin also feels really moisturized afterwards.
It gets makeup off and is super lightweight! 4
Sammy from Atlanta
I am usually skeptical about cleansers like this but it was lightweight and got all my makeup off fast.
It's okay 4
Becca from VA
I received this product free for testing purposes and I enjoyed using it, but i don't think i would purchase it again. My skin was very soft after using it though!
LOVE IT 5
Phox from Az
I honestly could not find the perfect cleanser but just in two days from using this was glowing, felt really smooth and clean, I had really bad scars and acne on my forehead but they have reduced from using this cleanser… I would 100% recommend this cleanser
Loved this product! 5
Jenn from Salt Lake City
This is so great for removing waterproof makeup. I usually have to soak a cotton pad over my eyes with removed for a few minutes to remove my eyeliner but using this was a breeze! My nighttime routine is so much faster with this.
Perfect foam 5
Camihdez from Miami
I loved this foam! Makes my skin feel very clean, fresh and smooth after using it. Its very nice for everyday use!

Wearing a mask all day at work has done a number on my skin. I have dry sensitive skin with rosacea and have been enjoying this since adding it to my night routine. I have noticed it smooths out the patchiness from my rosacea. After a long day I just want to sleep and this cleanser lathers like a dream. Removes my makeup effortlessly while also leaving my face feeling moisturized without being greasy. It's also very affordable. I'm loving it!
Very good for anyone with oily skin! 5

I love using foam cleansers when I have on a bunch of makeup, this one is really good. My skin tends to be more dry so I only use it at night!
So fresh and so clean clean 4
Jess K from New York
I wound up liking this better for the morning than for the evening. It had a more wakening feel than a soothing feel. I used a little extra moisturizer after and it was good!
Very good! 5
AraceliGlam from Denver, Co
I love the cleanser made my skin feel free of dirt and debris. I will continue to use it and see how it works with my skin. I do have sensitive skin, so far so good.

This gives a deep clean, really good if you wear a lot of makeup! Use the balm first and then the foam cleanser to remove anything left behind!

Not really a fan of this one 2
Doctormega from Oregon
I'm not a fan of foaming cleaners. They usually dry me out. This one didn't make my skin dry but it just felt tacky after using it. Even my hands felt tacky. Much prefer the cleansing balms
