Most Helpful Positive Review Simply a MUST HAVE I originally tried this cleanser with the Perricone MD 90 day acne kit. While all 3 products in the kit were efficacious, the cleanser was the standout star to me. I ran out of it first, but since my skin had cleared, I didn't feel the need to rush to get another tube. That is, until I started getting a zit here and there. I had become so spoiled from having clear skin (for the first time in like, ever) that I knew I had to get another tube of the cleanser because it really does beat those breakouts into submission. When I use the cleanser, they won't even come to a white head. They'll start to dry up and retreat immediately. The Perricone acne serums are like the knock out punch, but they really work best with the cleanser. And I think the cleanser is best for every day use. It doesn't dry out my skin, and it keeps the breakouts at bay. A little dab is enough for the entire face. I use it with my sonic scrub brush and that really works it into my skin. BTW, I am almost 40 yrs old, and while I don't have any wrinkles or signs of aging yet, I feel like this cleanser helps keep my skin smooth and glowing while doing it's job.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not gentle I have rosacea, and the sensitive skin that comes with it. Perricone discontinued the cleanser I used to use, so I gave this a try, as it's labeled gentle and soothing. It tears my face up and has caused one of the worst flare ups I've ever had. I'm breaking out and peeling at the same time. The texture is strange, so it doesn't glide in the skin, and it heats up and burns. I gave it a few weeks, since it can take some time for my skin to adjust to a new routine, but my face hurts using this product.

Bought this for my 16 year old daughter. Out of the dozens of washes we have tried, this is the one that worked for her. She won't do a whole regimen. We needed a wash that didn't need a whole system. This works amazing for her.

Great, but can be drying 5

I have oily skin. This works wonderfully for clearing breakouts, but it does strip the skin. Definitely use a really good moisturizer after. I noticed it causes my lips to go numb if I accidently get it around the corners of my mouth. If you use it in the shower, the steam will make this feel very warm on your face. I only use it at night because of how stripping it can be. It's affective, but make sure you have good after care. I does also sometime sting if you have any form of cut or open pores.

Stuff works great. I've been using for about two weeks now but used Dermalogica for two years before I made the change. This cleared me right up. Keeps my skin soft/bright and not oily. Key is to use a good moisturizer though. This will dry you out. Best for people with oily skin, acne/breakout prone. Would definitely recommend

I used this product only twice. I have combo/oily skin and struggle with blackheads and mild breakouts. This stung my skin very badly during use. In combo with their toner and nourishing lotion by day 3 my skin felt like leather and peeled horribly.

Absolutely a miracle 5
Jenjen7 from Tampa, FL
I started using this every other day so as not to dry out my skin, first time and I wasn't sure, its been a game changer for my skin! Smooth and breakout free!! Pair it with the spot treatment gel and its perfection. I have struggled far too long with hormonal acne, I am so over it, and this cleared my face in a week! Stubborn acne that just would not go away has cleared! And I always take care of my skin and face. I alternate this with Beekman 1802 cleansers, which I adore so I am never leaving those behind. Honestly try this acne line if you are struggling! You have nothing to lose but confidence to gain if you love it!!
Absolutely clears breakouts! 5

I've been battling acne as a 40+ woman, and nothing has helped (even the prescription products from the dermatologist). I'm also sensitive/allergic to everything. This cleanser, used twice daily, cleared my skin in 10 days, with no bad reactions. I use it on my chest and back as well. My dermatologist was shocked at my skin's improvement. I bought 3 tubes as backups yesterday!
Meh 2
Anthony from Rhode Island
It's just okay - the texture is unlike anything I've ever used which made it extremely hard to get a good glide on my face. Once you start massaging this overly thick cleanser into wet skin, it almost feels like it dries out as you're trying to wash your face. Zero lather, and it didn't break me out... I'd just never buy it again.
Questionable 3
Christina from San pedro
I don't know if it not foaming up is a good or bad thing hard to see where I've placed it or where I have scrubbed it in....No change yet been on it for two weeks now.... I just hope to be able to see visible change soon
The only product I've ever seen results from 5

I'm 36 and have been battling this painful cystic acne mostly on my jaw line so after reading the reviews I tried the 30 day kit, well I got lazy after my skin really started looking amazing and I was running out of the wash bc I prob used to much bc it doesn't seem like it's really washing your face but it must be bc I'm squeezing excess out of my tube now waiting for this perfectly formulated cleanser now. Thinking of ordering two actually. Waisted so much money on dermalogica.. 😢
Perfectly cleansed 5
Nae from Tuftonboro, NH
No dryness or irritation, and no breakouts for the past 2 months I have been using this cleanser along with the kit (moisturizer and retinol). I stuck with the regimen without any other products- it took a couple weeks at first for my skin to clear up, I was always trying to use too many products at once to clear up my acne so my skin was a mess. I can now leave the house without cover up makeup on!! Wow that feels good :-)
