Best cleanser EVER!
I bought many products from this brand and I can for certain say this is there BEST product. I have combination skin and my T-zone does get very oily throughout the day especially with makeup but this product has single-handedly made not only my skin look better but my makeup perform differently. One big plus for me is that it smells like nothing and it's so incredible gentle on my skin, which I appreciate. Now I understand that the price is a little off putting but I can genuinely say that I have used so many different cleansers and this is the ONLY one I've seen genuinely results from and honestly it's worth every penny! I will be buying this again.

This skin care line is a hidden gem!
Paula’s Choice skin products are the best! I did a lot of research and came across her line on Amazon and I ended up buying all her products for my entire skin routine, even retinol body moisturizer. I am super impressed. All of her products are super effective. People have been asking me what I use on my skin when I tell them they are not familiar with the product line so I have definitely been spreading the word! It makes my Porsche look smaller. My skin is soft. It removes all the makeup. I have extremely sensitive skin and have never had an issue with any of her products.

My go-to toner!
This toner is a staple in my household. It is super lightweight and still effective. Unlike my boyfriend with oily skin who also uses this product, I have combination skin; I am not super oily, but I tend to get a little shiny in my T-zone (central region of the face) throughout the day. I feel that this is a perfect facial regimen necessity for those just getting into skincare or for the pros as well. Paula's Choice does a great job with directing you to what to use at what step in your regimen, for example this would be the 2nd step and should be used directly after washing. Like I said, it is lightweight and can be paired with any of your other products like Vitamin C, moisturizer, and SPF. It brings moisture back into the skin once clean and provides a balance for layering products. I like to pair this with the liquid exfoliant, and I do use it day/night. Also, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't actually shrink pores. The niacinamide in this product helps boosts collagen production which helps minimize the appearance of pores by stimulating the area surrounding your pores. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Great product but my skin is still very oily
The product advertised it helps to reduce oily skin, it actually made my skin more oily compared to the previous product I was using before this. Keeping in mind I also use the pore minimizer toner and the moisturizer that goes with it. I am in love with the product overall, my skin is clearer, feels clean, and actually SMOOTHER as well as a nice glow!

takes out the oil in my face without drying
I really like this Paula's Choice facial cleanser! I have been using the Image Skincare Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser since my beautician recommended it, and I found it was cheaper here on Amazon than buying it from her salon. Now the price of that cleanser has gone up considerably, so I needed to make a change. I also tried the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Facial Cleanser. It's fine, but it's also over $4 per ounce. I wanted a "balancing" cleanser, which means it takes out the oil and puts in a little moisture. So, I tried this Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing facial cleanser. It is wonderful! I like it better than both the Image cleanser and the Clarisonic cleanser. Paula's facial cleanser comes out thick and white, and I don't use too much, and it creates enough lather. The plastic top of the bottle pops up and you squeeze out a little. I use this cleanser on the Clarisonic Mia2 facial brush, two times per day. My face feels really clean, but not dried out. Paula's is more than half the price of the Image cleanser, and I like the way my face feels better with Paula's. This 16 oz. bottle will surely last at least 2 months, maybe longer. I had never heard of Paula's before I did the Amazon search. I am now a Paula's fan. Note: this is going to last 3 months or more. I have added a photo to show you this is a nice-sized bottle. It's large, but not too big or heavy to use comfortably. This cleanser rinses off easily, and also rinses easily out of the Clarisonic facial brush. Update: I just reordered, so this bottle lasted 2 months one week.

Love PC!
Excellent product for my hormal perimenopause acne that leaves my skin clean, moisturized, and reduces the acne. My skjn has always been sensitive and reactive to most products. And I have allergies to soy and almond. Things commonly found in skincare. Finding a product that is allergen free AND doesn’t piss off my skin is seriously difficult. But the brand is exactly what my skin had been loving, and myself by extension.

Thought I found the one
I was really impressed the first few days of using this. I have very oily skin and the first few times I used this face wash it really controlled the oil for many hours after using it. I thought I finally found a face wash that was going to work but I’m the fourth out fifth day of using it my skin was back to being extremely oily within an hour after use. I don’t understand it but 2 weeks into using it 2 times a day and my skin is still getting oily within an hour of use. It smells and feels good on the skin and a little good a long way. I will continue to use it until it’s gone and if anything changes I’ll update.

Removes makeup- A little goes a long way
I don't buy this for the oil controlling advertisement. It takes off all makeup including my mascara very well and that's what matters to me. I'm so surprised this feature is not advertised in the ad. A little also goes a long way so this lasts me months. You will probably need a moisturizer after this if you are not plagued by oily skin, but I'm fine with that. I don't consider it excessively stripping to the skin either or I wouldn't be able to stand it. Every time I try another cheaper product, I keep coming back to this one. It will sting the eyes so you have to be mindful when using it. They can do much better on the cap, however. When you get to the last 25% of the bottle, it's a real pain to get it out. Why isn't this in a pump with a straw that goes ALL the way to the bottom?

Great Product
After a few months of break outs at the age of 45 I was recommended to try this. It is brilliant ! My break outs are no more, I use to remove my make up with a clean flannel or just a face wash when no make up on. I've always had good skin and this has got me back to that .

Pretty good
I bought this after reading the many positive reviews. It’s not bad, feels great but is a little hard to remove, without really dragging my face. I’ve combatted this by gently removing what I can, then finishing off with half witch hazel and half apple cider vinegar. Leaves my skin feeling lovely and clean.

Does what it says will do...
I really liked this product, removes all the dirt moisturizes you skin...your skin feels so soft,and importantly it removes makeup without much effort. Suitable for types of skin is truly an advantage... Some might feel expensive but the amount you get will last for quite long time and I'm sure you're going to like this as well. Good cleanser for healthy looking and happy feeling face...
