★★★★★ 4
gentle and effective cleanser but a bit drying
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update: I added another star to the original rating because I am able to fix the problem of dry skin with a light layer of squalane oil right after washing with this cleanser. Since I utilized moisturizing oil in my routine I no longer have dry and tight skin after cleansing. This cleanser is still effective at removing my mineral sunscreen without breaking me out or cause any irritations. I will finish the bottle and then decide if I will repurchase. I only use a (large) pea size at a time so this will go a long way.
Original review:
I have combo skin. My cheeks are very dry while the T zone is very oily. I used Vanicream facial cleanser for years. They are a bit drying on my cheeks in winter time but otherwise perfectly fine. I do not like the shiny mica in it, and Eucerin's hydrating cleansing gel has hyaluronic acid so it's supposedly more hydrating. The reality is that Eucerin is no more hydrating than Vanicream and even when used in the middle of summer it's slighly drying on my dry cheeks. Aside from that, it's totally fungal acne safe (just like the Vanicream), very gentle, did not break me out, and has a very pleasant consistency. I will not buy it again given the disappointing hydration capability and higher price (than Vanicream). BTW, I do not wear make up so I cannot compare the two for cleansing abilities.
