This works well. There's enough astringency for my combination skin without overdrying my skin. I will buy this from now on. As for removing makeup, I like to use a small drop of the cleanser to remove the makeup, then I do a thorough cleansing. The smell is fresh and fruity, like something out of a spa. My skin feels refreshed afterward.

I'm a bit fickle when it comes to facial cleansers. I like variety and try a lot of high-end spa brands. but this is one I save to my list because it is always a good standby and very inexpensive.

I have combination skin: the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is oily, while all other places are quite dry. I was trying hard to find a face wash which is gentle enough but still effective. drugstore.com knows how much money I spent on face cleaners until I found this one. This product washes away oil, but does not overdry even the driest parts of my face. This is the best face wash ever! Will order more soon.

This is one of the very best facial cleansers I have ever used. Every time I try something else, even something very expensive, I am disappointed. This basis cleanser gets all of the dirt, oil, and makeup off of my skin without irritating it, and I have rosacea so my skin gets irritated pretty easily. It even gets off all of the eye makeup, without stinging my eyes, so I don't have to use a separate eye make-up remover. Every eye make-up remover I've ever tried has hurt my eyes or left oily film on my contact lenses. I hope that this is always available, so I don't ever have to use anything else!

basis face wash is the ULTIMATE cleanser. It is the ONLY cleanser (and I have tried them all) that leaves my face so clean that I don't have to use eye makeup remover. I have had to use other products, but none are as effective. A few years ago, I called the company to complain that the tubes were leaking. Within 6 months they were redesigned, and they don't leak anymore. That is a company I want to do business with!

I strayed away from this a few years ago and I don't know why. I've been wasting a lot of time and money with other products. This facewash smells great, works really well, and leaves my combination skin balanced. This along with alpha hydrox products and my skin has improved immensely in the past 6 months.

One word: d r y i n g . I have extremely oily skin (like 5 blotting sheets a day oily), so "drying" usually isn't a problem for me. But this product feels harsh and drying to me. It does remove make-up well, but it leaves my skin feeling tight and flakey. Not a good match for my skin.

It grew on me. I love the smell of this face wash. It foams nicely and makes my face feel clean. My only complaint is that I'm used to foaming face wash and this stuff takes a lot more rinsing to make me have the "squeaky clean" feeling. But really, the smell is divine.

This stuff is fabulous! Fresh scent, doesn't dry your skin. I've been using this for years and won't use anything else!

I love the smell of this product. Kind of citrusy. It cleans my face much better than those cream cleansers and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. The price is fantastic. It does not sting my eyes.
