SKIN BALANCING Oil-Reducing Cleanser for Oily Skin

As a gal that has always had very sensitive skin, it’s very hard for me to find a facial cleanser that works for me. That’s boy does this work!!! A lot of cleansers cause my skin to tighten up, and dry out, almost like an allergic reaction. However, this is the only product I’ve been able to find that doesn’t do that. In fact, my skin feels clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated after using this product. I religiously use it every morning and every night. I highly recommend this product. I have reordered it several times 😁

I bought many products from this brand and I can for certain say this is there BEST product. I have combination skin and my T-zone does get very oily throughout the day especially with makeup but this product has single-handedly made not only my skin look better but my makeup perform differently. One big plus for me is that it smells like nothing and it's so incredible gentle on my skin, which I appreciate. Now I understand that the price is a little off putting but I can genuinely say that I have used so many different cleansers and this is the ONLY one I've seen genuinely results from and honestly it's worth every penny! I will be buying this again.

Paula’s Choice skin products are the best! I did a lot of research and came across her line on Amazon and I ended up buying all her products for my entire skin routine, even retinol body moisturizer. I am super impressed. All of her products are super effective. People have been asking me what I use on my skin when I tell them they are not familiar with the product line so I have definitely been spreading the word! It makes my Porsche look smaller. My skin is soft. It removes all the makeup. I have extremely sensitive skin and have never had an issue with any of her products.

The product advertised it helps to reduce oily skin, it actually made my skin more oily compared to the previous product I was using before this. Keeping in mind I also use the pore minimizer toner and the moisturizer that goes with it. I am in love with the product overall, my skin is clearer, feels clean, and actually SMOOTHER as well as a nice glow!

This toner is a staple in my household. It is super lightweight and still effective. Unlike my boyfriend with oily skin who also uses this product, I have combination skin; I am not super oily, but I tend to get a little shiny in my T-zone (central region of the face) throughout the day. I feel that this is a perfect facial regimen necessity for those just getting into skincare or for the pros as well. Paula's Choice does a great job with directing you to what to use at what step in your regimen, for example this would be the 2nd step and should be used directly after washing. Like I said, it is lightweight and can be paired with any of your other products like Vitamin C, moisturizer, and SPF. It brings moisture back into the skin once clean and provides a balance for layering products. I like to pair this with the liquid exfoliant, and I do use it day/night. Also, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't actually shrink pores. The niacinamide in this product helps boosts collagen production which helps minimize the appearance of pores by stimulating the area surrounding your pores. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Very gentle cleanser. It's done a lot to reduce my oiliness and redness, and it was the first step in getting my acne under control. That said, it absolutely does NOT remove all my makeup -- even if I use a washcloth, I will double cleanse my face with this product, because it's needed to remove all of my makeup. Even then, a few traces of mascara and/or eyeliner will likely stay behind. I never use waterproof products, so if you do, don't for a second think that this will get them all off. It's also incredibly irritating to my eyes, which are slightly sensitive. I have to keep my eyes shut tightly when I wash my face, otherwise my eyes will be stinging and tearing up for the better part of a half-hour afterwards. It's also not very easy to rinse off. It's so thickly textured that you really have to repeatedly and thoroughly rinse the product to get it off. That said, it's a good cleanser that leaves my skin soft, clean, and very happy.

I really like this Paula's Choice facial cleanser! I have been using the Image Skincare Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser since my beautician recommended it, and I found it was cheaper here on Amazon than buying it from her salon. Now the price of that cleanser has gone up considerably, so I needed to make a change. I also tried the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Facial Cleanser. It's fine, but it's also over $4 per ounce. I wanted a "balancing" cleanser, which means it takes out the oil and puts in a little moisture. So, I tried this Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing facial cleanser. It is wonderful! I like it better than both the Image cleanser and the Clarisonic cleanser. Paula's facial cleanser comes out thick and white, and I don't use too much, and it creates enough lather. The plastic top of the bottle pops up and you squeeze out a little. I use this cleanser on the Clarisonic Mia2 facial brush, two times per day. My face feels really clean, but not dried out. Paula's is more than half the price of the Image cleanser, and I like the way my face feels better with Paula's. This 16 oz. bottle will surely last at least 2 months, maybe longer. I had never heard of Paula's before I did the Amazon search. I am now a Paula's fan. Note: this is going to last 3 months or more. I have added a photo to show you this is a nice-sized bottle. It's large, but not too big or heavy to use comfortably. This cleanser rinses off easily, and also rinses easily out of the Clarisonic facial brush. Update: I just reordered, so this bottle lasted 2 months one week.

I really wanted to love this face wash! I have always had dry/combo skin (depending on the season) but the past several months I have been so oily. I believe it’s hormone related because I am currently 7 months postpartum and had a hormonal IUD placed 2 months pp. It got so bad that I started searching for a new oil control face wash. This face wash feels great, has a light lather, and definitely did help my oil control some. But… I broke out awfully. All along my hairline and jaw line, and forehead. I thought it must be from my hair. It took me over a month to realize it might be the face wash. To test that theory I quit using it for 2 days and sure enough my face started clearing up immediately. I have never been acne prone so I knew something wasn’t right. Still 3 stars because it did help control oil, and if it didn’t cause me to break out it would be 5 stars. I still think it’s a good product but just didn’t work for me.

After a few months of break outs at the age of 45 I was recommended to try this. It is brilliant ! My break outs are no more, I use to remove my make up with a clean flannel or just a face wash when no make up on. I've always had good skin and this has got me back to that .

I bought this after reading the many positive reviews. It’s not bad, feels great but is a little hard to remove, without really dragging my face. I’ve combatted this by gently removing what I can, then finishing off with half witch hazel and half apple cider vinegar. Leaves my skin feeling lovely and clean.

I really liked this product, removes all the dirt moisturizes you skin...your skin feels so soft,and importantly it removes makeup without much effort. Suitable for types of skin is truly an advantage... Some might feel expensive but the amount you get will last for quite long time and I'm sure you're going to like this as well. Good cleanser for healthy looking and happy feeling face...

Personally, I didn’t notice any improvements with my skin tone/texture. Wouldnt buy as it’s pricy

Skip this one. Broke out hard. Always red
