Mario BadescuEnzyme Cleansing Gel Face Wash, Oil-Free Facial Cleanser with Papaya Enzyme & Grapefruit Extract, Exfoliating Skin Care for All Skin Types, Removes Excess Oil & Impurities

Great cleanser!

This product is amazing. My skin is prone to breakouts and very sensitive. I've used so many different products - Cetaphil, La Roche, Aveeno, Neutrogena, Clinique, Bioré, Differin, - the list goes on and on. Nothing helped. My skin would break out worse and worse. I used the Differin for over 6 months and continued to have the worst skin of my life, same with La Roche. I just gave up. I had purchased some Mario Badescu Rose Hand Cream and Rose Lip Balm and was super happy with both, so I thought what the heck. When it got here, I had 7 very deep under skin pimples on my chin and several blackheads. Like I said - I gave up trying. I used this once and my skin felt so soft and clean for the first time ever. I usually don't get that effect with cleanser. Plus, it smelled really good! So twice a day, I began washing my face with this stuff. I just enjoyed the way my skin felt and the scent so much that it wasn't a pain to wash my face - I enjoyed it. Like I said, I wasn't really concerned with the acne, so I didn't use any other product. By day 5, my skin is almost clear. I am not kidding you. This is serious. A face cleanser that smells good, softens my skin, does not dry it out, and treats my acne without going through step after step. I am crying. This has been an absolute life changer. I just purchased the Cucumber Cleanser and Aloe Moisturizer. Trust me, give this a try. You won't regret it.

I've been loyally using Neutrogena for facial cleanser for oily skin years - usually one of the kinds that claim to be more natural/gentle. But every year or so they discontinue whatever style I'm presently using. So, I tried this and will never go back to Neutrogena. This stuff is fantastic, and really well balanced. It doesn't overly dry out your skin, and it keeps your skin balanced for hours. Will use from now on. I highly recommend.

I’ve been using this once or twice a week for years and I really believe it’s one of the reasons I still (at age 61!!) get compliments on my complexion. I particularly like to put it in before I get in the shower & let the steam work. My skin feels super soft & super clean. Combined with the fact that it’s really inexpensive so I don’t even feel guilty purchasing.

I started using this 5 years ago when I was on Accutane and my skin was so blistered and peeling that other cleansers stung and burned. This was one of the only things that didn’t feel like acid when I used it. It really is that gentle. It’s a thin gel consistency and doesn’t contain sulfates so it doesn’t foam up. And it’s not going to take off your makeup. (I like to use Cetaphil’s Gentle Makeup Removing Wipes before washing my face.) It has a light leaf-y cucumber-y scent that doesn’t linger on skin. It does have a lot of nice natural ingredients but it’s designed to clean, not treat, so it’s not going to do a lot on its own for acne and breakouts. But it’s great if your dermatologist just prescribed a new treatment that’s going to be hell on your skin. This stuff won’t further irritate it. It’s been a few years now since the Accutane so my skin is back to being somewhat oily and this does a decent job of cleaning without drying my skin out. But if you’re used to a foamy cleanser getting your skin tight, shiny and squeaky clean then you may find that this doesn’t do enough for you. Those with sensitive skin might find their holy grail.

I have used this for four years now and I have not switched. I have tried several drugstore and luxury brands but I have not gotten the results that I wanted. I have sensitive combination skin that gets really dry in dry conditions and gets super oily when it gets humid. I am also prone to breaking out.I love that it is non foaming cleanser as it is gentle on the skin and doesn't dry you out. I don't use cleansing brushes or wash cloth to scrub my face with but it cleans and washes off face makeup effectively. (I remove heavy eye makeup and waterproof mascara before washing my face.) Since using this cleanser, along with other Mario Badescu products I have improved and balanced my skin. I only get an occasional hormonal spot or two and I now have a Normal skin type.I only use pea size amount each time I wash (2-3 times a day) and the 16 oz bottle would last me six to eight months of use, so I would say it is an inexpensive product.I also use the Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner, Hyaluronic Eye Cream and Vitamin C Serum and my skin has never looked and feel its best! (I use drugstore moisturizers that has worked well with Mario Badescu products. )

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! I've been using this cleanser for a few months now and been loving it every day. Fair Warning!! This is NOT a makeup remover cleanser. You will have to remove makeup before you use this cleanser. I already use a makeup remover before I use a normal face cleanser anyways, so it's not a big deal to me.I have semi-sensitive skin that also gets oily pretty easy. This face cleanser is so refreshing and gives such a clean feeling after washing. It really feels like it cleans absolutely everything off of your face and leaves the best refreshing scent behind. I would say it's for all skin types. I'm also impressed how it controls the oil on my face without being drying on the skin. Hands down the best face cleanser I've used. I will continue to purchase this.

Extremely gentle, smells good but I did not feel it cleaned my skin well even after 2 washes. I also stayed broken out for a long time while using. Will not repurchase.
