Not good
This is probably the worst facial “cleanser” I’ve ever used. Every time I’ve used it, it leaves a white layer of film on top of my skin and it does not go away without intense scrubbing. Will not be buying again. Bring back the gel cleanser!

Laura Mercier Balancing Foam Cleanser
This cleanser is really great. I’m 59 but still have slightly oily skin. I like for my face to be really clean and then moisturize. This cleanser foams up so nicely and cleans my face perfectly. If I use a moisturizing or creamy cleanser my face will breakout. I’ve never had an acne problem. It’s weird. If you want a great cleanser at a really good price this one is for you. You only need a really small amount. A little goes a long way. Only thing I’m not crazy about is I really have a hard time with perfumes in cleansers and creams. This product has a good smell that I can handle so it’s ok. I was glad to switch things up and use this cleanser.

Hate the smell
The cleanser has a really strong scent, not pleasant at all to me. It cleans ok not the best. I have to use make up remover wipes before using it because it will not remove my makeup on its own. Will not repurchase for sure.

My daily cleanser.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gently cleans your skin and leaves it feeling fresh and soft. Doesn’t dry out your face. Takes off all of your makeup.
