   This is a good overall cleanser, it doesn’t take off makeup particularly well but for a morning wash when the only products I have on my face are my nighttime treatments it does the job just fine and doesn’t leave my face feeling dry or stripped. The only thing is fragrance free doesn’t necessarily mean unscented, and there’s something a bit stale/musty smelling about this that is a turnoff. I will finish the bottle but will not repurchase.

   I’ve used this for five years and it’s never let me down. Although I don’t use this one all the time, it will forever be a staple in my skin care routine. Works great with a clarisonic as well

   Props. This is what it says it is…a gentle self foaming cleanser. I love self foaming cleansers…they feel nice on the skin and are easy to rinse off. Makes my face feel soft and smooth after-not dry. But clean. Bonus points for the pretty packaging. Its unscented but I almost wish it smelled a bit like oranges to match the color of the bottle.

   I was really hoping to like this product(especially having just returned a No7 cream that was so heavily scented I could only tolerate 5 minutes with it on my face)…however it is not for me either!! I bought this with the recommendation of the cosmetic rep’s advise at my local drugstore because I have super sensitive skin and this was the “best product for me”!! I bought the gift set…a pretty little bag with the foaming face wash, scrub, moisturizer and eye moisturizer…well I am keeping the bag, but tossing the rest!!
   I have “normal”/combination/sensitive skin…lucky me…well this product started of ok…but I think it knew when the return policy was up because every time I used it…usually just once a day…a busy mom with 4 kids…and 2 of them under 2, so once is all I get to pamper myself!! Anyhow…after I have my fifteen minutes alone in the bathroom to use my pretty little face care system…I am upset to discover that my face burns…feels dry and is super oily(how can that be?) and I am now breaking out bad…all over my face…very painful white pimples and blackheads…I thought I was cleaning my face!!!
   So I am convinced that’s it’s just me being picky… so I take a break and just use water for a couple of days…everything goes back to normal…so I take out my pretty little package again…nope still burns…I ignore it…go to bed and wake up in the morning with…yes you’ve guessed it…a face full of painful pimples again!!!
   Sooo disappointed!!!!

   I have oily skin that can break out if you look at it the wrong way, this cleanser did its job in that it did not leave my face feeling dry or leave a film behind, I liked the fact it foamed up nicely and was unscented. It’s easy to find and readily available at SDM. It is a pump dispenser with a tight fitting lid, so it is great for travel, not cheap, but at $15 not at the high end either. The issue I had was the fact that I had to use 3-4 pumps to get all of my makeup off! Needless to say the supply ran out fast! I would definatley repurchase as a back up cleanser, but I still prefer Shishedo extra gentle cleanser, it costs more, but lasts me about 4 months.

   This is my all time favorite makeup remover/cleanser. At night I use it and it takes everything off. I also use it in the morning for a cleanser, and it never leaves my face feeling dry. I have went through several bottles of this stuff (it lasts me for around 6 months), and I will continue to repurchase!

   I received a sample of this and didn’t use it for a while but using my normal face cleanser (shisedo white lucent) twice a day felt like too much so i whipped this out for morning use. So glad i did because its really gentle and for just taking off my night cream/eye cream, its perfect. Not washing my face in the mornings gave me some bumps, this is great if you don’t want to overdo with the cleansing. I don;t have acne-prone skin though so i don’t know how it’ll work for that but my sister uses this too ( she gets pimples once in a while) and she hasn’t gotten any breakouts. I didn’t realize you couldn’t put it in the eye area until recently, but honestly, i think its gentle enough that you can. Price was okay and the packaging is super, love the pump.

   This foam cleanser is gentle and creamy feeling. I love that it is fragrance free and the pump is so handy! I only need one pump and it is enough for my face and neck. It doesn’t dry out my skin and it makes my skin feel so silky!

   I love this water-soluble cleanser, the foam feels almost silky! It washes off all my make-up including mascara easily and my skin feels clean and hydrated, not dry at all. I have tried other water-soluble cleansers including Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser (dried out my skin) and Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser, Sensitive (less drying than Neutrogena, but my face felt slightly tight and uncomfortable). I also love the packaging, so cute! I highly recommend this cleanser!

    this is a nice gentle cleanser….esp if you have sensitive skin. as with all marcelle products its hypo-allergenic so you dont have to worry about it breaking you out!
