Perfect from first try
Review by Betty S

I went a bit mad with buying samples to try to find my ideal skincare regime and tried this first. My skin tends to be dry straight after cleansing but then get oilier and oilier during the day. This is fantastic! I like cleansers, like this one, which you wash off but I usually find they leave my face red and needing to 'calm down' before doing anything else. This didn't do that. In fact, my skin felt great straight away, not tight and sore as usual.Product Rating
I will definitely be buying this along with some other things once I've finished playing with all my other samples. Other favourites so far are the 1% BHA lotion and the healthy skin toner. Can't decide on a moisturiser yet.

Gentle and efficient

Buying products for oily skin can be a disaster sometimes because they irritate more than they help the skin to stay in balance.Product Rating
This cleanser is really smooth and I did not get any irritations :)
I am using it since 3 weeks in combination with the toner + BHA exfoliant and I am very happy with the result! (Posted on 17/06/2009) -
One Step Cleanser n/o combination
Review by Shelley

I hate to run out of this cleanser as I could never find one that is gentle enough to clean my face and not strip my skin of the natural oils. Some cleansers can make it dry and almost feel like they are stripping the natural oils from my skin but this one is perfect and that is why I love it! The only thing I don't like is that Paula's Choice Europe does no longer do the larger bottle (473ml).Product Rating
Customer Service comment: The big size cleansers have not been available for a while but we hope to have these in stock again at the end of the summer. (Posted on 18/05/2009)
Splash the face and eye area generously with tepid to slightly warm water. Spread a nickel- to quarter-sized amount of cleanser over your fingers and apply it with gentle but vigorous circular motions. Rinse well.
Please note: If you are removing heavy or "stay-put" makeup, you may need to wash twice, use a washcloth, or use Paula's Choice Gentle Touch Makeup Remover to be sure makeup is completely removed.

Do I still need to use an eye or face makeup remover?
Only if you are wearing waterproof mascara or waterproof makeup. Otherwise, this cleanser is effective at gently removing all other types of eye makeup. If an eye makeup remover becomes necessary for tenacious makeup, be as gentle as possible, or you can try going over the eye area again with your face cleanser.
I have normal to dry skin that gets oilier in the summer - would One Step Face Cleanser for Normal to Oily/Combination Skin be a good seasonal choice?
Yes! The lightweight, refreshing gel texture of One Step Face Cleanser for Normal to Oily/Combination Skin is ideal for use during the humid summer months if you have normal to dry skin.
