Perfect for Sensitive and Combination skin
I have combination and sensitive skin and this is the cleanser that is perfect for both. Never had an adverse effects from it. And my face fills nice and clean, just ready for the Pericone moisturizers.

Reminds me of my childhood - and not in a good way
If you miss the smell of your aunt’s perfume from when you were 8 than this is the face wash for you! They wouldn’t allow me to return or exchange so into the bin it went $$$

Best cleanser for my skin
This is my cleanser, and of course if it is on sale I will buy it, use it 2x a day, so having extra is not a problem. Unfortunately, I did not realize that I was buying only 2 oz for that price. Crazy. Now I will have to buy my normal size as I will be out by end of January!

Gentle, thorough cleanser
I use this cleanser daily and really think it’s excellent. It cleans well and doesn’t dry your skin. I have never noticed a fragrance so it must be very mild. I recommend it highly.

Fragrance is awful
I like the cleanser, but the fragrance smells like the bottom of my grandmother’s purse. Sorry. It smells pretty bad. I thought people were being overly picky or exaggerating. I want to love it, but will not purchase again unless the fragrance changes. I can smell it in my face now after putting Perricone serum and moisturizer on. For this price the fragrance should be better.

Expensive but worth it
A little bit definitely goes a long way. By far my favorite perricone cleanser. I just wish the price point was lower.
