Clean and Fresh
-05.11.13
I love this face wash. I received it as a free sample and have now purchased it a couple times. It leaves my skin feeling clean not stripped. It is gentle and very effective, I have not had a single breakout since using it. Boscia is now my favorite skin care line.

Review 3 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
jozmejia
Love it!
-05.05.13
This cleanser is great for my combo skin. I tend to get dry around my nose area but this cleanser does not over dry my skin. Also, what I love about this product that it helps my skin not to break out. I used to use a drugstore cleanser for acne but I will still get blemishes. But with this cleanser It helped my skin to be clear

Review 4 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Purifying Cleansing Gel
-05.03.13
Quick Take: foamy, gentle, gel
I like this sulfate-free face wash, but personally I'm not a fan of these Japanese skincare style that leaves my face somehow dry after cleansing.
I switched from Philosophy's Purity to this one because my friend told me it's mild and effective, and I agree with her. You don't need a whole lot to get a rich lather, and it cleans very well. Although Philosophy's Purity works better with my Clarisonic brush, this one is still a good choice when you're working with your hands only. I use 1 pump every time and a small bottle lasts long. Also, I use it only as a face wash after make-up remover, so I'm not sure if it takes away your makeup completely.
Overall it's a nice face wash but I'm not sure if I will stick with it.

Review 5 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Skin Feels Soft Afterwards
-05.02.13
This felt really good and is non-drying, but didn't remove all my make-up. The make-up, break-up Boscia works best for me and it's also non-drying, so going back to that...

Review 6 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Rmin16
New formula is NOT good
-05.02.13
I don't like the scent of the new formula. It's smells a little like rust and something else I can't quite put my finger on. The new formula doesn't form a nice lather anymore. I need 2 pumps now to work up a rich lather. I gave 3 stars because my face still feels clean compared to drug store brands.

Review 7 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
A Good Choice
-04.28.13
Quick Take: foamy
I was first introduced to the product when entering my local Sephora store downtown in Philadelphia. The lady that was assisting me gave me a sample and told me to try it out. After two days of using it with my Clarisonic, I fell in love. My face has never felt smoother. I can definitely feel a difference in my skin and it only takes one pump to get a good lather.

Review 8 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Good stuff
-04.28.13
Quick Take: foamy
Why use sulfate, when a sulfate free natural soap works just as well? I'll never use conventional soaps on my skin again. This stuff is fantastic.

Review 9 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Natural cleanser
-04.27.13
Quick Take: gentle but effective
I picked this cleanser because of the natural products used by this line. I believe it adjusts to your skin type and cleanses your skin only as needed. I'm 50 so I am very careful with the type of products I use simply because I need something that is very gentle but effective. I have never had skin problems but I do have combination skin. I feel this cleanser is very compatible to my skin type.

It's ok- does its job.

I don't mind this cleanser, you dont have to use much to get the job done. Works well and my face feels clean afterwards. Although it could smell better.

Review 11 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Gentle & effective
-04.24.13
Does exactly what it promises. I was using purpose or neutrogena, and those are decent for sensitive skin, but this was just as cleansing while being milder. I will rebut, despite its price; it does last a long time...

Review 12 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Perfect Gentle Cleanser
-04.21.13
Quick Take: foamy
I started using this cleanser four years ago when living In Hawaii. I had frequent breakouts and fairly oily and sensitive skin. This was the only cleanser that helped clear up some of my acne and didn't aggravate my face. I now live in a very dry, high altitude area which has dried my skin up tremendously and cleared up my acne completely. This cleanser is still my favorite even though my skin is now super dry. I cleanse twice with it to take off a full face of makeup or stubborn SPF- once with my hands and then once with my Clarisonic in the shower. Highly recommended!

Review 13 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Makes skin feel good
-04.21.13
Quick Take: foamy, controls oil
I really like this cleanser. I do believe that I have had less breakouts since using it, it makes my skin nice and soft, and has made me less oily without overdrying my face. However, I do not feel like I get a very deep clean with it, even when using it with the Clarisonic, so I prefer to use it in the morning only.

Quick Take: foamy, controls oil
This product made my skin feel soft and helped control my oil without overdrying. However, even when used with the Clarisonic I do not feel like I get a very deep clean with it, and prefer to use it in the morning.

Review 15 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Amazing!
-04.18.13
Quick Take: foamy, exfoliating
I recently switched all my skincare over to Boscia and I absolutely love it! I've struggled with acne for years, but I think part of my problem was that my skin was reacting to the harsh chemicals in my skin care. Boscia is all-natural and you can tell. It's gentle, but effective and it removes my makeup easily. I use it with my Clarisonic and I really feel like my skin is getting clean. I also love the smell, which is clean and subtle.

Review 16 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
8 years and counting
-04.18.13
Quick Take: foamy, gentile, light, effective
My esthetician suggested this cleanser to me when I was 21 and having problems with acne on my chin (not that it's for acne, it isn't). I've always found it to be a lightweight gel, and it never strips my skin. The only downside is that I have to apply a dime-sized amount twice each use to get it to dissolve the foundation on my chin, or my night cream. However, I don't use a makeup remover beforehand, which would probably be a better choice.

Review 19 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Gentle, effective
-04.08.13
Great cleanser for my combination, yet sensitive skin. Natural fresh scent, good mild lather, and skins feels fresh without being overly oily or dry. It has a tougher time removing eye makeup, but not a big deal. I love this cleanser!

Review 20 for Purifying Cleansing Gel
Ah-mazing!
-03.31.13
Quick Take: foamy, clarifying, purifying, oil-reducing
I understand there is no way to convince anyone via a written review of how amazing this product is...I have not had trouble with actual breakouts in years, but I do battle large pores, blackheads, and oily skin. This cleanser has an incredible feel and foam. I believe it literally seeps into my pores and pushes out the blackheads - that must be what happens! I have been using this in combination with my Mia - the results are incredible. Less oily, clear pores, and even a brightened/clarity to my skin now. My makeup goes on smoother and more flawless with my new soft, clean skin. I am constantly getting compliments now on my skin and makeup!
