Review 1 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
PERFECT!
-04.28.13
Quick Take: milky
This cleanser is amazing. It is gentle yet takes off ALL of my makeup. I have always had to use gentle cleansers and I have yet to find one that actually takes off my mascara. I am so impressed that my skin is clean, soft, and I don't have mascara running all down my face. Great purchase!

Review 2 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Clean cleanser
-04.28.13
Quick Take: gel to cream with water
Have tried too many cleansers to count over the years and found this one to be the best. Leaves my skin clean with NO residue and it has no offensive smell. I finally found a cleanser that now I can stop looking for a better one.

Review 4 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
-04.19.13
Quick Take: foamy
I have used every acne cleanser in the world, and this is the first thing I have found that works. It's gentle, calming, and doesn't bother my insanely sensitive skin. I use it with my clarisonic, and it works like a charm. Sometimes it's better to keep things simple.

Review 5 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Worth every penny!
-04.05.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, milky, light
I'm very iffy on face cleaners because they seem to never work on my skin. An associate at Sephora recommended me this product and since I've started using it, I don't have any complaints. Just putting a small dab and massaging it onto my face makes my skin feel softer and cleaner.

Review 6 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser

Worth every penny
-03.31.13
I initially bought the high potency evening repair cream and it delivered such amazing results that I had to go back for more. I thought this cleanser would be best since I have sensitive areas on my skin. You only need a small amount and it left my skin feeling supple and young. Definitely worth every penny.

Review 7 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Great!
-03.23.13
Quick Take: foamy, milky
I have super dry skin and even have a prescription moisturizer. This cleanser works better than my $70 bottle for 3 ounce prescription to keep my skin from getting dry. I love it and wish I had discovered it years ago.

Review 8 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
-03.16.13
I have rosacea and this is the only daily cleanser that I have yet to find that does not irritate my skin. I use it morning and night after using a make-up removing wipe. It goes on smooth and comes off easily. It does not leave my skin feeling tight like other cleansers. I have purchased this twice so far, and plan on doing so in the future.

Good product, bad packaging!
-03.07.13
I think the product itself is good. Not great, just good. I haven't noticed any difference with my skin after starting this with my clarisonic (recommended by Sephora employee). It felt nice and didn't break me out, which was good. However, after just two weeks, the bottle fell off a three feet shelf and just shattered. I almost wanted to cry since I rarely ever splurge on face washes. Maybe it contained magical serums, but now I'll never know.

Review 11 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Will never use another cleanser
-02.21.13
Quick Take: amazing
Has cleared up my super oily skin. Is more on the normal side now. This along with Perricones Blue Plasma are the best products for me. Very happy with both of them.

Review 12 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
I always come back to you!!!
-02.14.13
Quick Take: foamy
I have tried so many face washes and I always come back to this one. It's gentle and best of all, it removes all of your make-up. I tried the one in the brown bottle and don't like it as much. Doesn't remove all of my make-up and it has a baby-powder like scent that bugged me. Not this one though!
My only complaint is that I have broken 2 of these now because of the glass they use. I love that it is in glass, but you would think for the cost of their products that they would use a different non-breakable glass. if it falls in the shower, you're screwed.

Review 14 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Great product
-01.11.13
Quick Take: foamy
I started using the Perricone products about 3 months ago. I saw a change immediately. I have very dry, sensitive skin, and it's much clearer and smoother, and adequately hydrated. I use the moisturizer and eye cream along with the cleanser.

Review 15 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Strips too much
-12.24.12
I tried the citrus cleanser and it was too harsh so I decided to try the gentle cleanser because of the reviews. It does a nice job in cleansing your face but I still think it's too stripping of moisture for someone who is 60+. I use a clarisonic brush and it just removed too many needed oils.

Review 16 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
SkincareInsider
Skin Type:Oily
Good gentle cleanser that is also effective
-12.17.12
Quick Take: gentle
I bought this cleanser because I liked the moisturizer in the Hypoallergenic range by Perricone MD. I thought I'd give this a try. I like the packaging, a pump is convenient and works well in the shower. It is not fragranced, which I like. The cleanser pumps out in a gel consistency, and foams a bit, not too foamy. It is very gentle to the skin, but also cleanses really well. I have acne prone skin that is easily aggravated and can be very red after cleasing. After cleaning with this cleaser, my skin is calm but also feels very clean. I highly recommend it as a simple cleanser that does a good job.

Review 17 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Average
-11.28.12
Quick Take: foamy
Overall I am satisfied with this face wash, but will likely not buy again. I actually find it more drying than I had anticipated based on the description. I do like how it has little smell. Haven't noticed any difference in my skin unfortunately. It gets the job done though, cleans deeply. Will continue to use until it is gone. I feel like the Perricone products are overall overpriced.

Review 18 for Hypoallergenic Gentle Cleanser
Mild yet thorough
-11.03.12
Quick Take: effective, gentle
I've used many cleansers. This one comes out to be number one. It's fragrance-free, which I like, and it cleans make up very well. I've always had trouble washing off eye-liners. This one does the best job by far. But it's actually quite mild. I have sensitive skin and this gives me no trouble at all.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that the bottle doesn't work so well after a few weeks. The pump doesn't come back up after I press down on it. I have to pull it back up. Then after a while of that the top actually came off if I'm not careful. But I'll still use it because it's such a great product.

Too drying
-11.01.12
Quick Take: drying
Perricone is the most overpriced, and for me, ineffective product I have ever bought. This was the least expensive item I bought, but my skin felt really dry after using it. I couldn't wait to get moisturizer on my face. Unfortunately the Perricone moisturizer didn't help.

Only cleanser that does not make me break out and removes all of my makeup. Very gentle. Not sure it really helps with aging.
