Was ok
Has a nice texture and bought it alongside the SPF moisturiser which was really good. I like gel cleanser but this just didn't feel like it was doing much so have moved onto a different cleanser instead.

Lovely!
A surprisingly lovely cleanser from a great brand - not ever used something from PC that I didn't like!

Excellent
I haven't seen many people talking about this one, but I absolutely love it. This gel adheres fabulously to the skin, and then it emulsifies when you rub it. No slippy cleanser sliding off your hand. Perfect.

Best cleanser
The foam is so nourishing and doesn't leave my skin stripped

Works okay, not particularly hydrating
The cleanser starts as a thick gel, then turns to a very thin milk once wet. It cleanses effectively and doesn’t leave any residue, though I didn’t find it hydrating in the slightest. I do have dry and dehydrated skin, and depending on the day I’ve found it either didn’t affect my hydration levels or left my skin slightly tight.

Love it
This is my favourite face wash for years. I have tried others in the mean time but keep on coming back to this one. Great for oily skin and lasts long.

Okay
I have quite sensitive and dry skin and this left my skin tight. I think it’s meant to be for people with normal to oil skin type. It cleansed the skin well just don’t the right product for me.

It has no fragrance and it cleans the skin really well. I've used it for years and I keep going back to it.

Does the job!
This did not dry out my skin and my skin felt very nice and clean afterwards. It did sting my eyes a bit but I have really sensitive eyes.
