I've been a PC user and believer for years now and have steadily used their exfoliants, masques and eye cream in my skincare routine. I have medium toned olive, sensitive acne prone skin that scars easily and I've struggled with this since my teen years and into my adult life (ugh). I used to use Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser as my second cleanse step after the Clinique balm to remove my makeup and felt content with this as my breakouts never got worse but were always there. That all dramatically changed when I decided to try this PC cleanser on a whim, as I didn't think that a cleanser would make that much of a difference anyways but wow I was so wrong.

After one use at night my skins felt great and then upon waking up in the morning ALL the breakouts on my face were dramatically reduced or completely gone!! I couldn't believe it. Now after continued use my skin does not have one active breakout on it and I can't remember the last time that's been the case for me. Even my co workers have noticed my skin looks even and smooth which is the ultimate compliment and review of this product! Like all PC products this is a superb formula that you can trust and a little goes a long way. I chop it's effectiveness up to the fact that it's got a better cleansing formula than other cleaners on the market so it does a much better job of actually removing oil/excess makeup from my skin so there's less chance of a breakout. Overall don't underestimate what a great cleanser can do for your skin. The other products are fab but this was a truly life changing step for me. Thanks PC Team!

Combination skin with large pores, redness and some sensitivity + menopausal spots! Lovely calming cleanser, used in combination with liquid exfoliant has eliminated the horrible sore lumpy spots I'd been getting in recent years, and my skin has really cleared up overall. As someone who's suffered with spots on and off since I was a teenager, these products have been a top find. I don't find this cleanser drying. One pump is enough per cleanse so it's lasted ages as well, though I only use a cleanser in the evening. Hi Julie! Thank you for your lovely review. I am excited to hear about the great results you have seen while using this product and your other products as well.

Cleanser is satisfyingly creamy & cushiony & rinses 100% clean yet leaving skin not at all tight; from this point of view, I liked it very much. Now for the points that would make me hesitate to buy it again - the cleanser is quite thick, foams quite a bit, & the pump doses out too much in one go. This means I was wasting cleanser each time because I simply could not use the entire pump-dosed amount in one go; too much foam! So I transferred it to a soft-squeeze plastic bottle with a flip-top cap, to be able to control the amount dispensed i.e. only a tiny-pea-sized amount since that is sufficient to cleanse my whole face. BUT, since the stuff is so viscous, there is now about 1/5th still left in the bottle, sticking to the sides, which refuses to pump out or even ... MoreCleanser is satisfyingly creamy & cushiony & rinses 100% clean yet leaving skin not at all tight; from this point of view, I liked it very much.

Hence I will need to add water to make it thinner to be able to use it! Could Paula's Choice make this formula slightly less viscous, put it in a translucent soft-squeeze plastic bottle with a flip-top cap (so it's also protected from any shower water), & thus use less HDPE in the packaging as well ?

This cleanser has to be one of the best cleansers(if not THE best) I have ever tried. Beautiful lather, cleans well, doesn't strip my skin, and seems to lessen the redness in my skin. I've tried so many cleaners and a lot of them leave me skin looking so red, hot, and irritated, but this one does the opposite. My skin feels so clean, fresh, and calm. One thing I will say is that while using this you may need to use an exfoliant maybe once a week or once every two weeks, since this cleanser is gentle and doesn't really contain any exfoliating ingredients like citric acid etc. But to be honest I think that's why my skin likes it, because my skin doesn't need an exfoliating ingredient every day. All in all, has become my absolute favorite. Please never stop making this ... MoreThis cleanser has to be one of the best cleansers(if not THE best) I have ever tried.

I absolutely love love love this cleanser but the last time I purchased I got the larger bottle size. I notice this time you only have the 6 oz bottle? Why are you no longer selling the larger size which is so convenient? I would continue to pay the extra money for the larger size as I always purchase this and the oil reducing cleanser at same time which comes in the larger bottle. Since beginning use of these two cleansers I've never looked back and will never use other cleansers again but please please bring back the larger bottle in this one!

PCs is the only skincare line that has made a huge difference in my skin. I have an oily T zone and dry everywhere else ( exceptionally dry in harsh Canadian winters) and alternately between these two cleansers keeps my skinny balanced and happy. I am so disappointed though that I can't get this one in the larger size. Shipping right now is free but when it's not it's so helpful to be able to get the larger versions which last longer and in the long run save me money. So please give us the option to purchase the larger ones! Other than this there is not one bad thing I can say about these cleansers. I've tried hundreds( yes hundreds) of other types from other brands from high end to drugstore and NOTHING compares to PC. Along with her 1% retinol and niacinamide booster my 54 year old skin has never looked better. Thank you PC for making products that actually work but BRING BACK THE LARGER BOTTLES!
My go to has always been a gel to foam cleanser but many of those often stripped my skin and left it feeling tight afterward. This one has been a dream as it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. The texture is super creamy/buttery but still does a great job at removing the dirt, oil, and sunscreen at the end of the day. I feel like it also has been helping my skin produce less sebum as I've always had to wipe my face down through the day. I just started my second bottle and will continue to repurchase.
Very nice cleanser. Got sick of cerave's reformulation and felt it was causing problems. Love the pump on this, love the texture. My skin feels silky smooth after. Only complaint is, I find it's a real effort to rinse off at the sink for me personally. Much nicer to use in the shower. At the sink it feels like I really need to go at it for a while. But honestly, I consider it worth it for the result.
I have tried every face wash known for sensitive/acne prone skin. I basically settled on a mediocre face wash that I've been using for 5 years now. I was nervous but made the switch to Paula's Choice and to my surprise, did not experience an initial breakout, but my pre existing acne totally cleared up. My skin is GLOWING for the first time in years!! So thrilled, I will definitely be purchasing again!
I have been using Salicylic Acid cleanser from my derm. and Paula's Choice Hydralight One Step Cleanser since the late 1990s. Recently I started wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, and I noticed my faithful Hydralight does not remove it thoroughly unless I use a washcloth or a sponge. I don't like to scrub my face, or use half a bottle of toner after I wash it, so I decided to try this cleanser. I love the texture...so creamy, but lathers a bit and rinses beautifully. This does remove my foundation without needing a washcloth or konjac sponge (just my fingers). It takes a little longer to rinse off, but it seems to leave a lovely dose of moisture behind in my skin. It's not scented or perfumed, but it has a nice, clean scent that's refreshing.

The first time I used this, I used way too many pumps...a little goes a long way! Now I understand why this comes in a smaller bottle than the Hydralight Cleaner...it's a more concentrated product. I use this to remove eye makeup wand the creaminess removes even mascara with little scrubbing. Washing my face continues to be a pleasant experience, and my skin looks great.There's probably a lot of extra herbs and vitamins in this that just get rinsed down the drain, but if they are responsible for the great texture and the skin softening properties, I am glad they're included. Thisi cleanser seems to keep my skin well balanced, not oily, not dry, just comfortable.
