  • Great but not spray tan friendly
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this product for a long time and I DO love it. It's gentle and cleanses great. Recently started getting spray tans and found out the hard way that it strips spray tan almost completely. Some cleansers are not compatible with spray tans and this is one. No spray tans...no worries!

  • Dermalogica Essential Replacement
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
When Dermalogica discontinued their Essential Cleansing Solution I was really anxious. My skin is hyper sensitive- I turn red with all these “natural” products. Perfumes in facial products make my skin burn. I didn’t want to have to go through the hell of being the trial animal for a bunch of over-priced, chemical products that made me miserable for days. I bought 12 Essential Cleansing Solutions, all I could find online. It gave me time to wait for the research others did and gave my anxiety about testing new products and wasting money a reprieve. Finally, about a month and a half ago I came across a forum suggestion for this product. I read reviews and looked off Amazon for as much info as I could gather. At $20, it seemed much more reasonable than Dermalogica’s discontinued wash, so I purchased. My experience using this product: as you can see in the image, the bottle design is identical. Even the size is the same. The wash is a little more like a slightly watery lotion, whereas Dermalogica is more of a thin paste (maybe more creamy than watery). It really has no discernible scent. It feels comparable to Dermalogica’s product when in use, though because it’s watery I apply to my face before adding warm water to wash. My face has not turned red or gotten excessively dry from the product. My normally hyper sensitive skin approves. For the moment I continue to use the Calm Water Gel and the Intensive lotion by Dermalogica, but, considering the massive price break with Paula’s, I think I’d be willing to try comparable products to replace Dermalogica’s at this point. To be honest, I feel betrayed by the more expensive brand and I see a lot of similar feelings from others who had invested a lot of time and money into their products. ... show more

I am 52 and my skin has devolved into a hypersensitive reactive organ. After months of seeking help from various professionals, Paula’s Choice was recommended and has been the solution. A+

  • Helped Heal My Skin
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mid-50’s. First time having significant skin issues - terrible acne, dryness, very painful burning. Used Cerave for several years but as my skin became dryer, Cerave stopped helping. Finally saw a dermatologist & received a rosacea diagnosis. Went down that rabbit hole of information. Oof. Decided to give PC a chance. Glad I did! It’s a very luxurious & creamy lotion wash. Washing my face with this product then applying avocado oil on my water-misted face has revitalized my skin. After one month, my acne is nearly gone. Skin texture is much softer. Still a wee bit of dryness on my forehead & the tiniest spot of redness on the side of my face but hopeful that’ll heal soon. Those were the most damaged areas so makes sense they are the last to heal. I switched to muslin washcloths as my normal cotton cloths were too harsh & most likely damaged my skin barrier. Eliminated wheat, dairy & coffee as well. Turns out dairy may have been the root cause all along. Strange how that manifested in my face now. Highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Rosacea flare up

Product seemed good the first day but by the second or third wash, it made my rosacea flare up pretty bad. Very disappointed.

  • Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser is probably my top favorite cleanser of all time
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Getting older and going through all the hormonal changes from having a child has really messed with my skin, which wasn't even close to being ideal to begin with. I've always yearned for a gentle cleanser - I have extremely sensitive skin - that is strong enough to remove the liquid foundation that I wear. Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser is probably my top favorite cleanser of all time. Its price point is cheaper if you were to buy directly from Paula's Choice website; however, they only offer free shipping on orders of $50+. If you're an Amazon Prime member and you're not looking to order anything else from Paula's Choice, I'd say it's priced fairly here. The cleanser's consistency is that of a more milky Cetaphil. It keeps this consistency and doesn't really work into a lather when I wash my face; however, it removes nearly all of my makeup. During the day, I always wear sunscreen and I typically opt to wear liquid foundation that's in the medium-to-full-coverage range (i.e. thick, liquid foundation). The first time I used this cleanser, I was impressed with how efficient it was in removing my makeup. I can tell if a cleanser isn't that efficient because I'll see the traces of foundation on the cotton pads/balls when I use a toner after washing.I never see any residual foundation on the cotton pad after I've used this particular cleanser. It isn't strong enough to remove my waterproof eye makeup completely, but that's why you get a separate eye makeup remover. I've noticed that since using this cleanser, my face stays in the dewy range without going too oily. I love that it doesn't leave you with that super squeaky feeling after washing up. My skincare routine is currently this cleanser, Thayer's witch hazel, Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid, Paula's Choice C15 super booster, and Paula's Choice moisture boost face cream. I'm still experiencing some breakouts, but the overall texture of my facial skin has improved drastically and it's only been about a month of doing this new skincare regimen. ... show more
