Decent Cleanser: KEEP OUT OF EYES!
-05.07.13
Quick Take: milky
I have enjoyed this cleanser for several months. It smells nice and doesn't strip your skin of oils. BUT this morning I accidentally got some in my eye and OMG it stung like acid. I had to turn the shower off and go cold water to flush my eye out for several minutes. So many products are non irritant to the eyes these days I barely pay attention. This product has no warning or anything. Not that anyone would purposely get facial cleanser in their eyes but a warning label stressing the importance to take extra caution is necessary. My eye has been feeling weird all day.

So far....a GREAT face wash!
-05.06.13
Quick Take: foamy, milky
I have only been using this face wash for a few days now. In fact, I am using a range of products from the Nude skincare line. This face wash foams up nicely and seems to clean well, without stripping all the oils from the skin. It smells lovely and I truly LOVE how my skin feels afterwards! I have combination skin, with horrible dry patches and acne proned skin, on top of it all! Often the wrong face wash and the wrong creams for the face, will make me break out horribly or clog my pores!! This face wash doesn't dry me out so far--in fact, since using this and two other Nude products 90% of my acne...cleared up!!! IM SO IMPRESSED & IN LOVE...with Nude skincare! A must try, face wash!!

Quick Take: foamy, milky, smells fresh
I bought it for my travel bag, but I wish my Philosophy cleanser would hurry up and run out so that I can make this my daily cleanser. My skin feels so refreshed and smooth after I use this, and it doesn't make my acne-prone skin break out. I love it! And I'll definitely be buying it once I'm out of my primary cleanser (which, I do love my Philosophy Clear Days Ahead face wash, but I love this more).

Quick Take: milky
I found this while looking for a cleanser for my mom... but oops, decided to use it on myself instead and i LOVE it. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and my skin looks perfect - no exaggeration. I have oily/combo skin and I don't know what it is about this product but my skin certainly loves it. I don't love the way it feels at first after washing bc it doesn't give you that "squeaky clean" feeling BUT having said that, I don't end up with dry flaky skin like I do with some other cleansers after washing. I haven't used it with my Clairsonic yet since I've been seeing such good results without it, but this is great. I love the gentleness and the clean smell :) happy camper

Love this face wash and the entire NUDE line. Great if you're looking to decrease chemicals and synthetic fragrances in your beauty routine, but still like a light scent and a product that does the job.

not the greatest
-04.05.13
First of all its natural and it has a pleasant gentle smell which I like ....... anything after that.... not worth it. It really doesnt clean well and its so annoying when it leaves this sticky tacky feel on your skin. I am going to have to say I hate it.

Quick Take: mild foamy
I have sensitive, oily skin and was frustrated with all previous cleansing washes as they ended up causing breakouts or drying me out but this wash does neither. Not only have my breakouts stopped but my pores appear smaller. I highly recommend this product. I use it AM & PM on Clarisonic brush

Wonderful cleanser
-03.20.13
Quick Take: gel like
I just started using this cleanser about a week ago. It was suggested to me by a Sephora's associate and I love it. My skin was really dry and uneven. I was using an aveeno bar of soap. I've come to the realization that a bar of soap is too harsh on the skin because of it's surfactant properties. Anyhow, I love this cleanser! It has probiotics in it and omegas which caught my attention to want to purchase it and no parabens. My skin is clear, no longer dry it's baby soft and moisturized just from this cleanser. At first I thought since it doesn't foam up that it wouldn't clean my skin properly and that my makeup wouldn't be fully removed but I was wrong it removes it well and I haven't broken out! I recommend it :)

This works great! Used with clarisonic, removes mineral makeup, smells awesome. Not sure about the "older version" but I have used a lot of creamier cleansers and this one definitely leaves your face clean, no residue here.

Good for oily and combination skin
-01.17.13
Quick Take: refreshing, deep, mattifying, natural
I purchased this cleanser because I wanted a natural based, deep cleanse without salicylic acid or parabens. This seemed like the perfect option and so far so good. I enjoy using it with my clarisonic and do feel like it deeply cleanses and balances my skin. I also use the Purify Toning Water after I cleanse, which I enjoy as well. Not five stars because its not very much product for the price and I do feel that I have to use quite a bit of product on my clarisonic in order to get a foam.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!

Quick Take: waxy clogs pores
Dear Nude, PLEASE BRING THE OLD CLEANSER BACK!!! I am devastated that Nude changed their cleanser. The old cleanser was light and left my skin clean, with no residue or film, and not dried out.
This new formula doesn't dry out my skin, but it seems like it leaves a waxy residue on my skin. I used their old cleanser for 3 years and had PERFECT FLAWLESS skin. I've been using the new cleanser for one month and now the pores on my cheeks and nose look HUGE and stretched out and are starting to clog.
Their old cleanser was so amazing that if they brought it back I would be willing to pay double, even triple the price.
Both formulas smell great, but who cares about the smell of the new formula if it's going to give you bad skin!!
I really hope Nude brings back the old formula. Until then I'm returning this cleanser and will find another brand.

Quick Take: milky
I've been using the old foaming face wash for a long time, can't wait to try this updated formula. It was not as foamy as the old one, which might cause problem when I use my Clarisonic. But gosh, I LOVE this new smell. And my face feels clean and soft. Unlike the other comment, this cleanser does help with my oily T-zone. You just have to work up the foam between your palms before applying to your skin.

Very good

Needed a more moisturizing cleanser for my combination acne prone skin. Recommended this by a sephora employee and am extremely happy. No more dryness and acne is definitely improving. Only need a tiny amount and it removes makeup very well.

Non drying deep cleanser
-10.10.12
Quick Take: foamy, milky
I know there will inevitably be a handful of people that won't like this cleanser due to the sole fact that it is not exactly like the old one. But I happen to think this new cleanser is fabulous. It smells great, is milky and slightly foamy at the same time, and most importantly, this cleanser is not drying. I even think it is keeping my acne under control. What more can you ask from a cleanser? Also works great with a Clarisonic.

This is the most good smelling cleanser i have ever used! It makes my face look so clean, fresh and polished right after i wash it with this. It never broke me out and never dried my most sensitive skin either. I love the whole NUDE line! Better try it out guys!:)

Quick Take: lovely scent, smooth
WOW! I never thought I would find a cleanser that would work for my very oily T-zone. Most important it balances out my skin. When I wash my face at night I wake up with an oil free face and when I wash it it in the morning I'm oil free for more than 9hrs!!!! The Sephora description next to the product is on point every single word! I"m vegan and I'm super elated to have found this product. Next I want to try the PurifyToning Water...or everything.

Sad revamp of previously perfect product
-09.12.12
Quick Take: disappointing
I loved Nude's Face Wash (the original one) so when they 'revamped' their products I was so worried they would change a perfect formula and I was right. The new cleanser is thick and filmy without the lovely spa fragrance. Had to return it. Maybe other people will like this one but I ended up returning it and buying another cleanser instead.

Disappointing remake of great cleanser
-08.26.12
I loved the original cleansing wash from Nude. It was light, low foaming, non drying, smelled wonderful and rinsed off cleanly. I was devastated when Nude took the product off the market to 'reformulate' it after they sold out to the LVMH company. The new cleanser stinks, is thick and feels like it leaves an odd film on my skin after rinsing it off. I do not like it. The smell and texture has taken away the enjoyment of using the wash and then the film it leaves behind makes my skin seem dull and not fresh like before. This is one product they should have left alone. So disappointed. Now I am scouring Sephora to find another sulphate free cleanser that I enjoy using as much as the previous Nude cleanser.
