Perfect cleanser now that I am 60 and unkindly surprised by my skin with occasional bouts of rosacea or eczema. For too long, I used cleansers for combination skin, believing the T zone to be irredeemably oily. Now that I use a moisturising cleanser (this one) and the matching antioxidant serum and moisturiser, my skin is much clearer, no longer shiny by mid-morning and my lips not so dry! I also use the best-selling Skin Perfecting liquid exfoliant which is astounding in its results. If symptoms persist, however, do see a doctor. The addition of antibiotics helped defeat the rosacea and I will continue to use the Skin Recovery range for general all-round care of my skin. Thank you, Paula!

I used to have such dry, tight skin but this makes my skin feel super clean yet hydrated.

I have normal-dry, acne prone skin and this is just perfect for me. I recently tried PC cleansing oil but much prefer this - I just love how this cleanser cleans your skin without leaving it feel dry or tight but yet it feels very clean afterwards.

I've used this soothing cleanser as long as Paula's been making it, and nothing else compares for my dry skin. Takes off all makeup completely, but gently, and leaves my skin soft and refreshed. No residue, no tightness, no dryness.

I have been using this fabulous cleanser for over 6 months now, and I would not change anything! I love that is available is 2 sizes, and is good value for money. My skin feels so nice and moisturised after cleansing with this product.

I can't imagine I'll ever try another cleanser now that I've found this product. For a long time, I didn't even use cleanser. I grew up in the early 2000s with Clearasil and similar cleansers that stripped everything from my skin and left it super sensitive, tight and dry. They never did anything for my pimples as a teenager and, now that I'm older, have given up on make-up and am more prone to dermatitis than pimples, I saw no reason to unleash their harshness on my sensitive skin. A bit of warm water was all I used for years. But when, in the lead-up to my wedding, I invested in my first Paula's products and got a sample of this cleanser, I was converted. It's hardly drying at all. In fact, all I need to do to rebalance my skin perfectly after use is to apply my toner while my skin is still dewy from the shower. My husband now uses it too and it doesn't cause any irritation to his very sensitive, dry, pimple- and rosacea-prone skin. I love that it comes in an extra-large value pack, especially because I now like using it on my neck and chest, too. I would, and do, recommend this product to anyone. The only downside is that it's not very effective at removing makeup. Makeup wearers might like a stronger formula, but if you have sensitive skin I recommend wiping make-up off with a tissue or sponge dipped in moisturiser before cleansing (did you know that a simple moisturiser like Sorbaline removes makeup better than most make-up removers?)

This cleanser never leaves my skin feeling stripped, just clean and soft. I do have to use eye makeup remover but that's to be expected with some tough mascara. I have combo skin and have used this for years, the best cleanser!

This is one of the cleansers that I like to have on hand while I'm trying new products in case something sensitizes my skin. This doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and itchy like all gel cleansers do. It doesn't feel greasy in my oily areas either, I just use less layers of hydrating and moisturizing products there.

This is the cleanser I have used for my uber-sensitive rosacea skin for most of the last 15 years. Many other cleansers turn me red or feel stripping/drying. This cleanser leaves my skin calm and clean. I love it and will never use anything else unless it is discontinued or reformulated to include something I'm sensitive to.

I've been using this for about a year now and I love it for my sensitive skin. I use it in with morning in the shower and sometimes at night when removing makeup. Sometimes I need a little extra help with removing long-wear makeup first, but otherwise if allowed to sit for a bit it does a good job of fulling cleaning my face. I like it now more that I have started using it with a muslin cloth. Press warm cloth into the face first, apply the cleanser, allow to sit for a minute, steam and massage face with the warm cloth, removing the remainder with a quick rinse.
