Truly the best facial cleanser I’ve used
Paula’s Choice RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid & Aloe, Anti-Aging Face Wash, Large Pores & Oily Skin, 6.4 OunceMy skin issue: oily skin with enlarged pores, uneven skin texture due to having acne when I was younger & areas of pigmentation. I’m 52yo. My Dermatologist recommended Paul’s Choice Pore Reducing Toner & 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant specifically to address my pores. This combination has worked wonders on my face. When I found this cleanser I purchased right away. Let’s combine even more I thought! At first I didn’t think this cleanser was anything special over the CeraVe Foaming Facial cleanser I was already using but I stuck with this. It’s now been 1-1/2 months of using this & wow!! what a noticeable difference! With this cleanser having Hyaluronic Acid in, I feel makes all the difference as it’s hydrating my skin as I’m cleansing it. The aloe is an added benefit. My skin is the softest it’s ever been. My texture is more smooth & what was very noticeable pigmentation from the sun & acne scarring has begun to fade. My texture truly feels more balanced just as it’s described! What’s more amazing with this cleanser is I really only need a HALF pump to lather up my face. I was using a full pump & had excess soap so I reduced it & learned a half was perfect. This 6.4 ounce bottle lasts me awhile using it morning & night. There’s no scent & it’s not irritating to my sensitive skin. It’s very gentle. For the price this is truly a quality facial cleanser & I’m so happy I found it. I utilize Amazon’s subscribe & save so I save a little more & order at my convenience. I can’t say enough about this cleanser! Give it a try! For under $20 it’s worth it. This is my favorite facial cleanser I’ve ever used! One more positive is I don’t have that striped feeling, skin tightness after cleaning. I tone with my face still damp & move onto my serums. I only use the exfoliant a couple nights a week because over using it is too harsh on my skin. The combination of the 3 is wonderful but this cleanser sticks out above all others! I highly recommend this!!

love the moisture it leaves
This is one of my fav cleanser, it makes my skin feel clean and soft, what I like the most is the softness, any other cleanser can clean but the moisture it’s the difference.

Great and Flexible Cleanser
A great cleanser! It effectively removes makeup and daily buildup without leaving the skin feeling dry or stripped. Both my husband and I use it, and it works well for both of us. Gentle yet effective!Would be 5 if it was a bit more cost effective.

The Best Face Wash!
Amazing face wash! I have been looking for a quality face wash & this is definitely it! It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean; getting rid of black heads. Very moisturizing and leaves you feeling refreshed. I would 100% recommend!

EXCELLENT
I have had a problem with Rosacea for 3 1/2 years with it covering the area between my eyebrows, my nose, and my cheeks looking like a bad sunburn plus tiny pinhead pimples.Prescription products are expensive and not covered by insurance. I tried so many over the counter products with no success until I found this product. I remember hearing Paula’s reporting on standards for make up and skincare that were not harmful so I trusted giving this a try.My skin is sensitive, aging and has occasional breakouts.It is the first product that has soothed my skin and really made a difference for all my issues.

Decent
This is a good cleanser, it does what it needs to do and nothing more/less. I don’t really think it’s worth the 20 dollars but a little goes a long way so it’ll last you a while. It is completely fragrance free and lathers up well, almost too well. I try to use less than half a pump because any more than that and it’ll leave your skin stripped in my experience. Not sure if I’d buy again, this is a very basic no frills cleanser so if that’s what you’re looking for you can find that way cheaper. My personal go to is the Vanicream gentle cleanser but there are plenty on the market that are cheaper and just as good. I do enjoy other products from this brand but this cleanser is just mediocre. It didn’t really help or hurt anything for my skin but I did find that sometimes it left my combo/oily skin drier than usual.

Great for combo-oily skin & each bottle lasts awhile!
For those reviewing stating this dried their skin out – this cleanser specifically is more for those with skin on the combo-oily skin spectrum. It’s not aimed to help those with drier skin. And with said that my skin is combination & this cleanser works beautifully for me! This is a repeat purchase I’ve kept on hand for years as nothing else has balanced my skin quite as good & I have tried everything, from high end expensive cleansers to drugstore. And as someone else commented, this bottle lasts forever; only one or two pumps goes a long way! So each bottle lasts me a few months while washing my face daily, so it is a great value. I will say I don’t wear heavy make up but when I do wear more than usual, I typically will utilize a micellar water or make-up wipe 1st then use this. I don’t rely on this to take off everything & especially not mascara, also, nowhere does it claim to be good at removing mascara lol use eye make up remover or wipes or that! Love how Paula’s Choice explains all their ingredients & ensures each ingredient’s safety, which has kept me using this throughout my pregnancy & kept my skin grounded. Anyway, can’t say enough good things! If you have acne prone, oily or combination skin or are seeking a good, safe cleanser during pregnancy, give this one a try!

Cannot recommend this enough. My acne is gone and it is 100% thanks to Paula and her team. It has changed my life. This is a great soft creamy cleanser, I have combination skin and im 30, this is absolutely brilliant. It removes all traces of makeup, moosturises the areas that need a little TLC and keeps the oily at zone spot clear. Been using this for 3 years and wont ever use anything else.
