This is a good product which I have used for years but I was disappointed because I noticed my container was not completely full. I did shake container down to see how much I really got and it was 3/4 full. I did take photo but no way to submit.
Emily H.
Nice facewash that leaves skin super smooth
Mary
For me, this is the perfect cleanser. It is super gentle on the skin and hydrating - which is crucial for me as I have very dry skin. It also is really good at removing makeup, which typically isn’t the norm for gentler cleansers. Have a feeling I’ll be sticking with this one for a while!
April W.
BEST CLEANSER!!! Amazing!!!! BEST EVER!!! Best Skincare Ever!!!
Janice C.
Gentle Cleanser - Excelente Producto / Aroma y Textura en Piel me encanta!
Paige W.
very gentle spreads well non foaming. use daily..
Ashley M.
Although it seems to be gentle as its name indicates, it does NOT remove makeup, especially water proof eye makeup, as the description claims. Very disappointed.
Anthony C.
I have only used this cleanser and Skinceuticals products on my face for over 20 years. All other products leave me dry and flaky.
Wendy J.
Very gentle product. As my skin ages I needed something less stripping and harsh. This product is amazing!
Karen K.
Love it! Smells great too! It’s good for all skin types.
Jess F.
This cleanser is amazing. My face feels clean and clear afterwards.
Sofia J.
My skin feels soft and clean after every wash Love the scent.
Kylie R.
Love the gentle cleanser, it is all my husband and I use!
Kim P.
This was recommended to me by my esthetician. I had always used a very inexpensive face wash and didn’t think I would notice a difference that would warrant paying this for a face wash. My esthetician convinced me to try it. I’m amazed how much different this product made to the feel and look of my skin!
Adele
I bought Gentle Cleanser from this seller and had a good experience. They responded quickly to my questions and provided helpful answers. The product is genuine and works well. My skin feels soft and clean after using it. I recommend this seller for their: - Fast responses - Authentic products - Good customer service. They are a reliable seller with genuine products. I'll likely buy from them again.
Tisa
I bought this for the "gentle" cleansing aspect. I used it for a couple of weeks and noticed my skin becoming increasingly irritated, eventually forming a bumpy hive-like rash. Since it was the only change to my regimen, I narrowed the cause to this product and suspect that the citric acid might be the culprit.
Tracy
Great skin cleanser. One of my favorites and my new go-to. When scrubbing off eye make-up, I can get the product in my eyes with no irritation. Removes make-up and rinses off well in the shower or with a wet cloth. Leaves just enough moisture on the skin in preparation of layering other products. I will be re-ordering for sure as I like to keep one in the shower and one on my bathroom counter.
Chloe
I ordered this not noticing that it is a non-foamy cream. It smells wonderful, but personally, I do not like creamy face washes. It feels like the cream does not wash off completely and stays on your face. It does not remove make-up too well. I like having the pump, I will use this up, but I will not repurchase. Will try a foaming cleanser next time.
Jessica
I’m a person that never washed makeup off at the end of the day. I moved to using the pre-moistened wipes that I would periodically use to remove makeup. I never had skin problems and didn’t see why others used cleansers. I bought the full-sized bottle and have been consistently using it to wash my face morning and night. I do notice that my skin feels softer and the smell is so soft and lovely. I just purchased my second full-sized bottle.
Amanda
I have been using this cleanser for years. It’s a perfect gentle combination with my skincare routine. It removes makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft. I love the light orange scent!
Coraline
I'm so surprised this has so many great reviews for removing makeup because it didn't do that at all. I had sunscreen and a tinted moisturizer on my face, and it didn't remove much of anything. I cleansed for 30 seconds, rinsed it off, and there was still so much makeup left. The formula is great, but it's probably best to be used on bare skin for a soothing and hydrating cleanse, not as a first-step makeup remover.
Sarah
I was looking for a cleanser for my dry, itchy summer skin—and this is it. Gentle, with a delightful soft smell. I will now use this product year-round.
Emily
I will never use any other cleanser again. I have severe acne-prone skin, and this is the best cleanser I have ever found. It calms my skin and cleanses at the same time. It doesn't cause irritation or further breakouts. Worth every penny!
Susan
I was surprised and delighted with this cleanser. It is now my favorite. I also use a gel cleanser but reach for this one. I like the creamy consistency and gentle formula for my dry skin. It cleanses thoroughly and removes my makeup. It is a bit thick to get through the pump, but it controls the amount to dispense.
Emily
I've tried all different cream cleansers from high-end brands. I like this cleanser because it cleans and is easy on my skin. It has a clean fragrance and is gentle. I use it in the mornings and a more foamy one at night. I would recommend this.
Tati
I have sensitive skin and have tried many cleansers. This one is gentle yet does the job well. Nice thick texture and pleasant citrusy scent. However, I struggled with the pump—it broke right away when I gently twisted it as instructed. Please fix the bottle and pump design.
Diane
I love this cleanser as I alternate it between the glycolic renewal cleanser. The gentle, calming cleanser works great after my monthly facials. It's non-abrasive, does the job, and leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed. A great cleanser for a great price!
Alison
I am 35 with sensitive skin that frequently dried out when I used other cleansers. I started using this cleanser in 2020 and have been using it every day since. It doesn't aggravate my skin, and one bottle lasts a while. I feel I should mention that I don't really wear makeup, so I don't know if it would be strong enough to be a makeup remover.
Sara
This cleanser smells so good and is a joy to use when taking makeup and sunscreen off. I use this to remove my sunscreen and powder foundation as the first of my double cleanse. I then follow up with the gentle foaming cleanser with a Foreo. Great product.
Gina
This is a very nice cleanser as I switch between the LHA cleanser and this one. The LHA cleanser can dry me out a bit, so adding this into my acne routine twice a week has really helped with the dryness. The products are top-notch!
Karen
This is the only facial cleanser soap I will use. It was recommended by a dermatologist. It has a very slight, pleasant scent (great for me since I am sensitive to fragrances), takes off makeup, and never leaves my skin dry. I have Rosacea, so I need to be careful with the soap I use — this one has worked extremely well for me for years!
Ann
I love how gentle this cleanser feels. It doesn’t leave my skin dry, and my face feels soft yet clean. The only thing I don’t like is the container. When the product gets low, I have to turn it upside down to get the remaining product out by hand, which is difficult with the dispenser.
Gina
This was recommended to me by my esthetician. I had always used a very inexpensive face wash and didn’t think I would notice a difference that would warrant paying this much for a face wash. My esthetician convinced me to try it, and I'm amazed by how much different this product made my skin look and feel!
Pamela
I love this cleanser! My dermatologist introduced this product to me years ago. Its gentle, non-drying formula is perfect for my aging skin which tends to be very unpredictable. It removes my makeup nicely. The fragrance is subtle and pleasing and I feel like I’m giving myself a spa treatment.
Gabriella
I recently finished my first bottle of this gentle cleanser and consider it a better-than-average skincare product. It is mild, and I didn't experience any negative reactions. However, after using it, my skin didn't feel as clean as I would have liked, so I would pair it with other products for a deeper clean.
Diala
The gentle cleanser is a non-irritating cream designed to calm and soothe sensitive skin. This creamy and lightweight formula leaves my skin feeling clean, calm, and balanced while removing impurities and makeup without any trace of residue. The cleanser has a mild, clean citrus scent that I personally love, as it's not too overpowering. It's the most gentle yet effective cleanser for sensitive/reactive skin types. Can't recommend this enough!
Laura
I love this gentle cleanser! It's great for my skin, which is prone to redness, especially during the winter months. Since using this product, my face feels soft and not dry or tight. I love the orange scent too!
Kathryn
I have been using this product for roughly 6 years. My skin has never looked better! I am constantly being asked what I use. The gentle feel of this non-foaming cleanser, the way it glides over my skin, and its ability to remove dirt without drying out my skin makes it essential.
Lisa
I decided to give this cleanser a try, and it does a great job. My skin feels great after using it. I’m in my 60s and wanted something more gentle, and I love it! The price is worth the results. Will definitely repurchase.
Teresa
Love. This is such a great daily moisturizer. It leaves your skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated. Ive tried almost all of the cleansers from this product line and this is one of my absolute favorites. Definitely recommend.
Jessica
This is my favorite face wash ever. It is gentle, hydrating, and smells delicious. It moisturizes and leaves my skin soft. I will never use anything else again!
Lisa
I use one of the other washes from the same brand but bought this for my very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin for the winter months. I really like it! It doesn't lather like other cleansers, but it leaves my skin feeling balanced and clean. I'm very happy with this purchase!
Emma
I have always had problem skin, but this cleanser has really changed that. My skin is amazing! It's a bit more expensive than my past skincare, but the difference makes it worthwhile.
Heather
I like it but I dont love it! It didnt give me the cleanse feeling that I am used to. I will continue using it and it is a good product. If you have sensitive skin, you most likely would love this product. I do find myself reaching for it although I prefer cleansers tailored towards acne prevention. It doesnt really have a smell, but my face does feel soft and clean after using. I would definitely purchase a smaller size just to have on hand.
Emily
This cleanser is so gentle, but it removes my makeup and sunscreen with ease! It’s creamy, doesn’t lather, and has a slight herbal fragrance. However, I needed to follow up with another cleanser to effectively treat my oily, acne-prone skin.
Jennifer
The product is accurately named: it's a simple, gentle cleanser. It doesn't foam or strip, but that’s exactly what I wanted. The scent is modest, and it’s perfect for my morning routine when I don’t want to activate my skin.
Amanda
This is my second bottle, and I am very pleased! The cleanser is incredibly gentle and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It might not remove makeup well, but I don’t wear makeup, so it works perfectly for me.
Emily
This is my first purchase of this item, and I love the way it feels on my skin. It's creamy, so there's no tight feeling afterward. I use it in the morning, and it’s gentle and effective. I will definitely purchase this again as part of my daily routine.
Annie
This product is so creamy and gentle for my sensitive, aging skin. I've been using it for about a year and find it beneficial in my daily cleansing routine. It leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and moisturized.
Anonymous
I had oily, acne-prone skin and always used salicylic acid/benzoyl peroxide cleansers. When I started Accutane, I was recommended this gentle cleanser. It made my skin feel soft and hydrated without irritation, even while wearing makeup. It completely changed how I felt about cleansers.
Sarah
This cleanser is creamy and smells amazing! My skin felt clean after using it without feeling dry or stripped. I switched from another brand because the pump kept clogging, but I don’t have that issue with this one. Plus, the bottle is clear, so I know how much product is left.
Sunny
Agree with other reviewers that the scent is very nice, slightly citrus. It reminds me of getting a facial. Having said that, I dont feel that my skin is actually as clean as it could be. Perhaps I am just too used to my foaming cleanser, which whips up bubbles and always makes my face feel clean. If you have super sensitive skin this may be a great product, but for me, its a little too low key.
Wanda
Luxurious. If I could use one word to describe this product, it would be luxurious. It is the softest, smoothest, creamiest cleanser I have ever experienced. I have been using it ever since. It feels like I am getting a spa treatment every time I use it. It makes my skin feel very soft and pampered. It never dries out my skin or makes it oily. It is perfectly balanced.
Debbi
My gentle cleanser. I have never been disappointed with any product from this line. Its expensive for me, but I am a true believer that you get what you pay for. Why I love Gentle Cleanser: I have sensitive skin, I need a gentle cleanser but something that purifies my skin. Definitely a must have, and the key ingredient, Orange Oil, helps calm sensitive or irritated skin.
Paige
Love it! I wear full coverage foundation with setting spray and this took it right off. I have sensitive, oily/breakout-prone skin, and I find that this cleanser works wonders to keep my skin balanced. I use it after peels, and in the mornings. Definitely recommend for all skin types!
Sarah
Great Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. I have been using this Gentle Calming Cleanser Cream for nearly a year. It is gentle with my sensitive skin and my sensitive skin has had no irritations with it. I love it and will continue to reorder it.
Mila
My Favorite Cleanser of All Time. I use an oil first for makeup removal, and once I rub that in, I put this cleanser on my Clarisonic. Together, all makeup is gone, and my skin is left feeling fresh without any dryness, tightness, or residue. It is definitely my most favorite item.
Julie
Excellent Creamy Cleanser - Smells of Natural Citrus. This is my favorite creamy cleanser, and I only use this one now, followed by a light foaming cleanser in my t-zone. It is creamy, thoroughly removes makeup and oil, leaves absolutely zero residue, feels like it has slight AHA exfoliation, and smells divine! It lasts a long time and keeps well. This is a Holy Grail product!
Kim
Fav Cleanser. Gentle for my sensitive skin. It leaves my skin completely clean without stripping it of its natural skin barrier. I have tried many others, and without fail, I keep coming back to this one. Will stick with this from now on. My all-time favorite!
Emily
Not as gentle as I hoped. I bought this cleanser because it's advertised as super gentle. I really liked it at first, but after a week of using it I developed an allergic reaction. My skin got red, especially around my eyes, and it felt like burning. Upon reviewing the ingredients list, I found that this cleanser contains citrus, like orange oil, which is an allergen. Very disappointed!
Kate
Love this cleanser. I have sensitive skin, and this cleanser works so well without causing me to have dry skin or a rash! It removes eye makeup too with no irritation. Love it!
Grace
Good Cleanser. I've been using this cleanser for a few weeks now and really like it. The first few times I used it, you could definitely smell the orange/citrus, but now I dont notice it. It does not foam or leave any residue. I don't wear makeup, so I can't attest to its ability to remove it. My face feels fresh and not dried out after using. This seems to be a good product for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Grace
Great product for rosacea skin. I suffered from slight rosacea due to irritation from a terrible product two years ago. I could not use any products since then. Most of the time I didn't even wash my face because it would get itchy. After trying many products, I finally found this one, and it did not cause any irritation. Now my face has stopped itching and drying. This is really a great product, and it will be the only one I use.
Margaret
Good, not great. I really wanted to love this cleanser, and I almost do. It removes most of my lightweight makeup well, has a beautiful scent, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. However, eye makeup removal is a problem. Even with gentle massage, there seem to be stubborn remnants of mascara left. I dont usually need eye makeup remover with other products.
Maria
Favorite Cleanser. This is my all-time favorite cleanser. It leaves the skin feeling clean but not stripped. It also easily removes face makeup. While it is safe for use around eyes, I still use a cleanser wipe for heavy eye makeup prior to this cream cleanser. It truly is super gentle!
Maja
I love this product. I am keeping the Gentle Cleanser for days when my skin needs a break or is sensitive. Never caused any reaction and is super gentle. Would always repurchase and definitely recommend.
Claire
Its pretty early to say what the final outcome will be, but initially, this product does the job and does not seem to irritate my very sensitive skin so far, so that's a big win! The scent is nice but stronger than I expected for a sensitive product.
Emily
Nice Cleanser. This is a lovely cleanser that works very well for my combination older skin. It has a very nice scent too. Although it is gentle, it leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh.
Helen
This product is a great gentle cleanser that leaves my skin feeling silky and smooth. It doesn't dry out the skin, and it smells fantastic. I like to rub it in, let it sit on my skin for a minute or two, and then wash it off. I wouldn't use it as a makeup remover.
Linda
SC Gentle Cleanser. My first introduction to this line. The gentle cleanser has a lovely creamy texture and a subtle citrus smell. Goes on smoothly, removes makeup, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated, not dry.
Lily
I bought this cleanser after really liking it. It makes dry skin feel nourished without feeling heavy and cleans skin well without any residue. Its a good one!
Maria
Excellent gentle cleanser! I am new to this brand but have been reading reviews on their cleansers and exfoliators. The cleanser is very gentle and smells awesome with its citrusy fragrance. I use the exfoliator twice a week after the cleanser. When I feel my face after that, it is amazing and so soft! I would advise anyone on the fence about trying this to do it!
Sarah
Perfect cleanser. I am amazed with this cleanser. It removes full coverage foundation without any stripping or foaming action. It is great for dry climates and for those with normal to dry skin. The smell is light, and my face feels clean afterward.
Lori
Made me break out. The first time I used it, it left a film, and I woke up the next morning broken out. I looked at the ingredients, and it has alcohol in it, which is not good for sensitive skin like mine. It says gentle, but it is harsher than other cleansers I've used. Just beware.
Christine
Great product. Very gentle and perfect for my sensitive dry skin. Cleanses without stripping and makes my face feel hydrated. Smells great too! It has a very light fragrance for those who don't love scents. Would definitely recommend it to others!
Grace
Useful/Doesnt Over Dry Skin. I use this cleanser for makeup removal or when I want a light cleaning. It works as a gentle cleanser for my children with no irritation. I have normal skin that dries in winter, and I wash my face twice a day. This cleanser works well to prevent over-drying and removing surface grime. I have purchased it three times.
Shannon
Perfect cleanser for sensitive skin and in helping to restore the skin barrier. Its a very gentle cleanser with a nice clean smell, and the texture is similar to a moisturizer. Leaves my skin feeling very clean and hydrated.
Lorraine
Facial cleanser. I have been using this gentle facial cleanser for years. Love the clean fresh scent. My skin feels soft, and I've noticed limited/no breakouts from this product. Recommend this cleanser to anyone with sensitive skin.
Gail
Great cleanser for sensitive combo skin. I love the way it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. Since I have mixed dry and oily areas on my face, I'm used to cleansers causing breakouts. With this cleanser, my skin does not break out.
Rachel
Gentle Cleanser. I have mature skin, and I've tried many cleansers that either leave my skin feeling dry or too oily. What I love about this one is that it does not dry out my skin, but it does leave it feeling clean without that drying feeling. It also smells good!
Claire
THE BEST CLEANSER YOU WILL EVER HAVE. I have been cleansing my face with this product for over a year. My skin is sensitive and dry, and this is the first product I use to cleanse my skin without leaving it extra dry. It has moisturizing agents that radiate your skin. Also, the price is reasonable. Buy this!
Lily
Awesome face wash, great at removing makeup. For a face wash that doesnt suds up or feel like it goes very far, I am blown away. It completely removes my makeup with just one pump. Super moisturizing as well! About to purchase a new bottle!
Kathleen
Simply a great product! Love this cleanser. It was first introduced to me at a facial in a high-end spa. I am allergic to so much and had no reactions whatsoever. Calming but does not dry the skin out.
Lauren
Fab Results! I have combination skin that’s pretty sensitive. This cleanser takes off my makeup, even waterproof mascara, without stripping my skin of moisture. It has helped balance my oily t-zone since my skin hasn’t been overcompensating in oil production. Very happy with this product!
Denise
This product works great with my sensitive and oily/combo skin. It feels luxuriously creamy, has a nice citrusy scent, and doesnt leave me with breakouts or excess oil. However, it lacks effectiveness at removing makeup, so if you wear medium-to-heavy makeup, I recommend using a makeup remover before this.
Lori
Hydration beyond. I use this in the morning and the Replenishing Cleanser in the evening. I feel like I am in a spa when I use these cleansers. My two favorites. I love the way my skin looks when I use them.
Jamie
Favorite cleanser. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to reacting to products. My dermatologist recommended this product, and I instantly fell in love with it. So gentle and doesn't dry my skin. One complaint is that it is hard to get the product at the bottom of the container when it gets low, but other than that, awesome!
Lucille
I finally have found a gentle cleanser for my mature skin. Its been a pleasure using cleaning agent that doesnt irritate my skin. Using Retinoids your skin becomes sensitive to cleansers. Very nice.
Maria
Wouldnt purchase again. When I use this cleanser I always feel as though my face isnt getting clean because the product doesnt foam at all - which I did know prior to purchasing. It also says this is a gentle cleanser but this cleanser is still very drying for me.
Manda
Great for dry, sensitive skin. Does not leave the skin tight, but it still cleans well. The only bad thing is the bottle design—it leaves about a third at the bottom that is hard to get out. Even banging it upside down doesn't work. They should change the bottle design to ensure you can use all the product.
Megan
I've used this product for myself and on clients for about five years. It is a great, creamy cleanser with a nice subtle orange scent. It leaves moisture in the skin and is gentle for sensitive skin. However, since they changed the formulation, I dont like it as much. Also, the pump stops working when a third of the bottle is left, making it hard to get the rest of the product out.
Paloma
I wanted to love this. I had been looking for a new cleanser that would be gentle enough for my rosacea sensitive skin and strong enough to remove makeup/sunscreen and all the days pollution. Every time I used this cleanser I got more and more disappointed. My skin wasnt having any of it I was getting irritated and didnt feel like it was getting the job done. I stopped using it.
Sarah
The best face wash Ive ever used. I have tried countless cleansers, and they either left my face dry, irritated or with a sticky residue. This one is perfect. It leaves your skin so soft and bright. It also helps with textural issues. My skin builds up a lot of dry, dead skin and scaly patches, and this takes them right off. I have super sensitive skin and experienced zero irritation. I hope they never change the formula of this product.
Azyz
I love the cleanser itself, but the packaging is awful! Once it is 3/4ths used, it is very hard to get the remainder out because of the container. Can you make a softer container? The one you use for your exfoliant is great!
Christina C.
Cleans the skin well. This cleanser works well. It removes dirt and oil, leaving my skin soft and smooth without drying it out. It also removes makeup, which is great. I used it in the morning and at night before moisturizing. It comes in a handy pump bottle and is good for sensitive skin types.
Irina
Good product. I am very happy with the products, as I have dry skin. These products are perfect for my morning and evening skin care. No tightness, no dryness anymore. Nice light natural smell. Skin becomes softened, hydrated, and clean in no time. Recommend!
Kirsten
Great cleanser. I really loved it and will buy again! I love the creamy texture of it, its light but does a great job getting my face clean, but most importantly, it doesnt make my skin feel dry or tight after cleansing. My skin just feels nourished and clean after.
Teresa
LOVE THIS CLEANSER!! My esthetician recommended me to use this when I went on accutane and it was a game changer! This is the only cleanser that my face doesnt feel stripped or tight and dry after using it. Im off accutane now and will always buy this for now on! LOVE THIS STUFF!
Cheryl
Wonderful non-drying cleanser. This cleanser is so rich it glides over your skin and cleanses gently without drying out the skin. It is my daily go-to and has been for quite some time. I prefer this over the gel cleanser as I have more mature skin and the richness of the product is perfect for my skin type.
Laura
Nice cleansing cream. I love the smell and texture of this cleansing cream. It is my favorite skincare brand. I ordered the regular size after trying a sample because I liked it so much.
Tessa
Great cleanser for hypersensitive skin. I enjoy the smell of this cleanser tremendously. Refreshing orange peels! More importantly, its mild enough not to irritate my extremely hypersensitive skin. My dermatologist recommended this cleanser for my morning routine due to a recent painful rosacea flare-up. So far, its doing great. I will be repurchasing it again.
Lily
SkinCeuticals Gentle Calming Cleanser Cream. I love this cleanser! It works well with my combination mature skin. It removes my eye makeup easily and leaves my skin clean and fresh.
Bryanna
Sensitive Skin Savior. This cleanser truly does clean without drying or stripping the skin of its natural oils. Most cleansers that foam up or create suds dry my skin out terribly and in turn make my skin produce more oil than what I started with. This cream cleanser thoroughly washes the dirt and grime off and leaves it feeling moisturized and fresh! If you have sensitive skin, try this one out. I wash my face twice a day and it lasts me a good two/three months. It has the minimum amount of ing...
Victoria
Oh so gentle. This cleanser was recommended to me by an esthetician who understood how sensitive my skin is and I have now used it for several years and I love it. It removes makeup and leaves my skin lightly moisturized. If I have worn heavier makeup, I might follow it with another cleanser for a double wash. My only issue is that it is very difficult to dispense when you reach the bottom of the bottle.
Sarah
Frustrated customer. This is getting very frustrating. If you are going to promote people staying consistent with their skincare routine, then you should consistently carry the products that they need to use. This product is one of the only cleansers that works on my skin and yet it is never in stock.
Dani
Not my favorite scent. The face wash feels very soft on your face, but if youre looking for something that suds up a little bit, this is not the face wash for you. It has a creamy texture but doesnt really suds up. The scent is like smelling an orange peel – fine in the morning, but not my favorite at night. I didnt hate it, but probably wouldnt order it again.
Jessica
Worth the wait. I have been waiting for months for this cleanser to come back in stock. It was worth the wait! It is wonderful for my dry skin and does not sap all the moisture out. I use a few SkinCeuticals products and Im very happy with this cleanser.
Vicki
Does not remove makeup. I was told this is great at removing makeup. I dont even wear a lot of makeup and its completely false. Also, the pump took about 100 pumps after opening to work. I thought I was going to have to return it. Anyway, Im disappointed and wont be using this in the future.
Beth
I like this cleaner! I have sensitive skin and this works great. I use another product to remove makeup and follow up with this cleanser. I use this more in the winter because my skin needs more pampering from the elements. I use another gel cleanser in the summer since I will be more oily and sweaty. I have combination skin. The only reason it is not 5 stars is I am not a big fan of the pump!
Emily
Favorite cleanser. I have sensitive skin and this cleanser works wonders with calming any irritation Im having. It also feels like its repairing my skin barrier and its not drying at all. I love it.
Anna
Gentle Cleanser Cream from SkinCeuticals. I love this product. I have been using it for about 3 years. Jury is still out on the new packaging. I need to be sure that product is not wasted, so I am waiting to see how I feel about the pump. The cream smells wonderful and is so gentle. I use it morning and evening, and it absolutely does not dry out my aging skin. Makeup is removed gently but thoroughly.
Megan
Not rich enough. Disappointing for SkinCeuticals product. I use SkinCeuticals products, but this isnt up to the same standard. Its titled as a gentle cleanser, but is more like a drugstore face wash. I used another cleanser I loved, but now I’m in search of a replacement.
Kellie
Lovely! Of all the things I noticed first, I love the glass bottle. It feels expensive. Anyway, great gentle cleanser. I feel like my face is fully clean after use. My only complaint is it advertises that it removes eye makeup. It isnt the worst, but lots of my mascara is definitely left behind. No big deal. Just something to note. Smells lovely. Will buy again.
Jillian
Good product, bad package! I really wanted to love this cleanser! It almost meets my expectations: nice essential oil smell, creamy texture, and soothing feeling. However, I hate the package! The pump stopped working when there was still half of the product in the bottle and no matter what I tried it just couldnt pump any cream out. Now I have to twist open the pump cap and use the straw to dig into the slim bottle and get some cleanser out each time. What a bummer!
Staci
The BEST! I have autoimmune diseases and they unfortunately affect my skin...this is the ONLY cleanser I have tried (and I have tried them all) that doesnt irritate my face. Other gentle cleansers make my face red, peel, make it dry and cause breakouts. This makes my skin smooth, comfortable, healthy, and clear. If you are on the fence about trying this, dont hesitate...it really is the BEST one out there!
Lily
Great cleanser! I am very particular about my cleansers and I REALLY like this one! Feels soothing and moisturizing on skin. Good if youre looking for something simple and sensitive. Does not leave your skin feeling tight. Note: If you're wearing makeup or SPF, this cleanser is great as a second cleanse (after using an oil or balm). Good to use alone if you're not wearing makeup.
Emily
Great for extra dry skin. My mom has been using this for a while and she really likes it, so when my skin became super dry this winter I decided to try it. So far, I like it. Its creamy and smooth, almost pillowy and calming on the skin. It almost feels like it isnt really cleansing your face but I havent had any breakouts so its doing the job. It has a very light scent, almost imperceptible, but when you do get the scent it smells like a waft of citrus.
Joni
Best cleanser for removing makeup. So happy this cleanser is finally back in stock. This is the best cleanser for removing makeup while also moisturizing. It leaves the skin soft and supple. I follow with a foaming cleanser for a double cleanse.
Jamie
I really enjoy this product. It is easy on my sensitive skin and doesnt leave skin feeling stripped or dry. It has a nice scent and has really helped my dry, acne-prone, sensitive skin.
Laura
Simple face cleanser. I love this stuff because its super gentle and takes all of my makeup off. It smells like oranges and is very refreshing. Doesnt leave my face sticky or tacky. It doesnt suds up, which bothered me at first, but I got used to it, and a little goes a long way. A little pricey, but itll last you a while! Good stuff!
Rose
Fantastic cleanser. I love the scent. It is on the creamy side and always cleans out makeup and dirt. However, the price is a turnoff for me. I was forced to buy this to use after harsh skin treatments as a gentle cleanser, and for that, it was great. I would buy this again only if the price dropped to $22 or so. $60+ is just too excessive for a cleanser.

Perfect cleanser. Ive been using this cleanser for a couple years and I love it! It doesn’t strip skin moisture, and my skin always feels soft and silky after use. It has a nice subtle orange scent which is pleasant without being overly scented. As this is a cream cleanser, it does not foam much, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t doing its job! Great for a variety of skin types. For reference, I have combination skin and live in a dry climate (Denver).

Very gentle cleanser! I love every SkinCeuticals product Ive tried, especially the Gentle Cleanser! None of the other cleansers Ive tried over the years can compare. It thoroughly removes all traces of makeup, oil, etc., and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean, without the tightness of other cleansers. After using at night, my face feels soft and moisturized the next morning.

Recommended by dermal therapist. Great cleanser for mature skin. Using this as I have been having laser treatment and using a prescription retinol, so this maintains my skins barrier.

Gentle and soothing! I really enjoy this cleanser. I have combination-dry skin that is very prone to dry spots as well as being acne-prone. I struggle to find a cleanser that thoroughly cleansed my face but did not strip it. This cleanser has a nice cream texture and rinses off completely. It did not cause me to break out, so all in all, its very nice.

Great product. Gentle cleaner that does a fantastic job at removing makeup (including setting spray) but also does not hurt my sensitive skin. I easily converted over to this from my old face wash with no issues. Only con is if you get the smaller bottle, its a pain to get out the last pumps at the end and you have to tip it upside down and unscrew the pump to get out the last of the product.
