Most Helpful Positive Review Drying, but effective I love this face wash, it's my holy grail. I've been using it for about three years now. One bottle lasts me about 6 months, daily use, so I've gone through a few. I struggled with acne in my early 20s and after using this product, my skin has gotten so much better. It does leave your face feeling tight and dry, but I just use the cerave moisturizer and it's fine. I have combo skin, oily in the t zone, dry on the cheeks. I can't attribute my acne clearing up just from this one product, but I have tried to replace it out of my routine and I totally notice a change in my skin. I religiously check ingredients to make sure there aren't any comedogenic ingredients in any products I use and this product doesn't have any of that bad stuff.
My teen brother who also struggles with mild acne loved it so much when he tried it that he's asked me to buy him two replacements since then.
I would recommend this if you don't mind the dry feeling afterwards if you can moisturize really well because I really think it does a fantastic job of making your face squeaky clean.
Most Helpful Critical Review Good Cleanser, Pump Not Great I bought this cleanser along with the oil of the same color bottle. I follow up the oil with the gel, and they both work nicely together. Watery gel, but works a nice lather. It definitely needs to be followed up with a moisturizer, if you have normal-dry skin. thats typical for a cleanser so i don't dock points for that. not much fragrance.
The packaging is the not so great part. the pump is super duper stiff. Not easy to dispense. With an okay cleanser, but a terrible pump, I won't buy it again.

I have been using this face wash for around two years now, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Of course, I would love it if the cleanser (& oil one) were a little cheaper, but the price is not theft. My only real complaint is the facewash is not very calming- just very purifying.
first impression 5
martini from Graceland, ohio
it lathers really nice, easy to avoid eye area. right after using it for the first time my complexion was more clear and hydrated. the next day the hydrating and clean look didn't change
Been using this cleanser for 4 years now!! 5
Liz Decena from Seattle, WA
I love this fave wash so much. It's able to break down my makeup and wash my face without stripping off too much and or making it dry afterwards. I've used this ever since I've entered highschool and my face has felt more smoother and actually reduced my forehead acne! Love, love this product so much :) 10/10 my fave face wash
New favorite cleanser!! 5
Sky from Edmond
I have fallen in love with this cleanser! I have been using it for a couple of months now. I had been using my previous cleanser for a decade & I wanted to find a good brand to use. So happy I found this cleanser. The fact this is vegan & cruelty free!!! This works great for my skin, I will continue to buy this cleanser :)
Very good 5

Hello from New-Brunswick, Canada
Of all the products of the line, this one is my ultimate favorite. It doesn't dry my skin, it makes it tighter and clearer. I get a beautiful glow everytime I clean my face with this product.
My long time favorite! 5
anonymous from Undisclosed
I am regularly told that I don't look my age (41) and am often mistaken for being in my late 20-s, early 30's. I credit that so much to having used this face wash (and the clear complexion face wash) daily for almost 15 years. I have sensitive skin and rosacea and it leaves my skin feeling clean and healthy.
Perfect wash 5

Bye bye makeup 5
Marv from Chicago
Takes off makeup and any excess oil without over drying. Just put on a moisturizer after using it if you're worried about it drying your skin
Drying 2
Nikki from Louisville
Not my favorite. It left my skin stripped and dry. I guess you can say it removed makeup and oil well but overall I have tried better face cleansers.
Love it 5
Sara from Upstate NY
There aren't many face washes that I bother to repurchase. I'm on at least my third bottle. It makes my skin feel super clean after wearing a full face of makeup all day. It never makes my skin feel dry or tight and it doesn't break me out
Great Lather 5

Great lather, takes off all makeup without drying my skin!
Love this!! 5

received this face wash as a sample. I normally wash my face with plain white Dove soap. I started using this after my regular soap routine and it's the perfect finish. It removes anything that the soap did not and leaves my face feeling smooth and fresh. I had to order the largest size because I can't go without it now. I have always struggled with bad skin and acne and I definitely recommend this face wash as it is very gentle on the skin. Just a little goes a long way ❤️
A definite go to daily cleanser! 5
anonymous from Undisclosed
I like to use this cleanser at night time as it cleans so efficiently removing eye makeup and cleaning pores. 8 consider it to be slightly more drying then the charcoal cleanser which is surprising! I would use the charcoal cleanser every single day without question. Overall I love this cleanser it smells clean it foams and lathers and cleans so well!
Do not listen to the negative reviews 5
Van from Houston, TX
So I originally bought this product online to meet the free gift minimum (it was also half off) with the intention of returning it. I did not remove it from its box. I went in person to Ulta to return and the cashier goes, "This face wash is my jam! Are you sure you want to return this?!" Now, you can't read tone but she sounded very convincing. She had a very postive and happy personality (which I find rare in most Ulta cashiers). So I kept it. I tried it and I fell in love. It's so gentle. It removes eye make-up without burning my eyes. It does not feel drying on skin after you rinse it off. It has no scent. Even my husband loves it. For reference I have oily skin and my husband has dry skin. I'm so glad I gave this a chance.
Will definitely buy again. 5

Love the way this feels on my skin, so soft and silky.
I Enjoyed This Sample 4
Kammy from Lahaina, HI
This was my first gel cleanser experience and I got the sample from the Best of Dermstore kit. It's soft and glides nicely over the skin. I love that it doesn't conflict with any other active ingredients in my routine and I feel like it's a light and effective cleanser.
Cleans well but very drying 2
Nikki from Kentucky
I didn't love this product. I found it stripped my face of moisture leaving it dried up, dull, and tight. On a positive note, it did remove excess makeup well. However, my face never felt good after using it. I always found myself wanting to use other cleansers before using this one.
I love this product ! Have used for 10 years! 5
Lisa from Gloucester ma

Actually cleanses!!! 4
Frogwild31 from Monroe, La
I've used several "cleansers" that claim to wash off makeup and no dice. I got this as a sample in an online order and fell in love so I ordered the regular size when it was on sale. That's my biggest issue, the price, for such a small regular bottle. However, a little goes a long way and this does last a while if you do one short pump. Anyway, it cleans great. I can have a full face of makeup and it would come off easily with 2 pumps max. I've started using this after I take my makeup off with wipes/micellar water so that it's cleaning my skin instead of dissolving the makeup. My face always feel sooo much better after using this!
Buying this again 5
Chelle from Carson City, NV
So I began using this product because my brother's fiance decided she was going to stop using it. I have always struggled with acne and would use a cocktail of skin products to help with my skin. Recently I have stopped and decided just to use this face wash and a lotion. I have seen my skin a lot brighter and it has cleared up significantly.
