The CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser is a good cleanser... I mean... it's hard nowadays to make a bad cleanser, especially for a brand like Paula's Choice. It's not my favorite one, but it's a rare case of a great reformulation and does the job. It's really gentle so for my combination skin it's ideal more for a morning cleanse; definitely not the kind of cleanser that removes makeup... maybe just the second step of the nighttime cleansing routine. Although I usually like cleanser that make more suds / foam, I actually enjoyed the silky smooth texture of this cleanser. I have sensitive eyes and this doesn't cause me any irritation.

I have been using Moisture Boost One Step Face Cleaner for a dozen years and generally I'm very happy with it It cleans well, does remove most of my makeup, and leaves my super senior skin feeling very nice. No breakouts of any kind but that might just be my age. My foundation goes over this without flakiness which is a major plus. I do find that this cleanser is rather difficult to rinse off. This is not a problem in the shower but bent over the sink it can be mildly annoying/ What I am really annoyed about is that Paula no longer sells this in an 8 oz size and does not offer it in a travel size. I don't mind the large 16 oz size in my shower, but I I much prefer the smaller size by my bathroom sink. One can even travel with the 8 oz container if she had too.

I having been washing and reusing an old, very old, 8 oz bottle for ages now and refilling it from the 16 oz size I don't like doing this and don't like "decanting cleansers and other products that go on my face. Also, for such a popular product, why are you not at least making a neat little travel size for my gym bag. Who wants to carry 16 oz bottle to the gym. Not sure why Paula would make such a weird business decision. Not user friendly.

This product is fine, I guess. It cleans my skin and doesn't dry it out. This product was recommended to me as a replacement for the old Moisture Boost formula, which has been discontinued. I'm still mourning the loss of that one - no other product has ever left my combination skin that soft or glowing. This one works fine, but doesn't give me anywhere close to the luxurious feeling I had with the old moisture boost formula. I will not buy this one again, it just is not worth the extra money for a smaller bottle that really doesn't do much for me. For the first time in over 10 years, I've switched cleanser brands.
