My Take on the Product:

I have been using this product, since the time I got it and I am all GAGA over it.
The cleanser comes in a sleek green bottle with a pump dispenser. A single pump is all that it required to cleanse my entire face.
This cleanser effectively removes all traces of dirt and makeup from your skin.
For reference, I have oily - combination skin tone which is sensitive and very prone to acne and pimples, But this cleanser suits my skin and didnt give me any allergic reaction.
The muslin cloth provided does a very good job of removing dirt and makeup and gently exfoliates your skin.
The results are best when you use a warm muslin cloth on your face - It massages your skin and improves circulation.
The warm muslin cloth opens up your pores thus cleansing you skin thoroughly. Splash cold water to close up all the pores when you use warm muslin cloth. 
The cleanser has rich and creamy texture and smells of eucalyptus and cocoa butter. The good thing about this cleanser is that it doesnt sting your eyes at all.
Regular use of this cleanser definitely improves your skin tone - making it soft and radiant.
I would also recommend washing your muslin cloth after a 10 uses to avoid any infection to your skin - thanks to the microbes which might harbor on your muslin cloth.

Love it or Chuck it ? 
Definitely love it - suitable to all skin types and You wont regret investing your money in this product. No wonder this product is a multi- award winner.

Sampar White Velvet Mousse Cleanser

   Sampar's new White Velvet Mousse Cleanser   is a new cleanser that not only means to get you clean but help brighten skin while doing it  .  According to Sampar , this cleanser uses a fast-acting micro peeling mousse to deeply clean and brighten. 
Ingredients include AHAs , enzymes, arbutin and chamomile extract.

The cleanser isn't   drying and doesn't make skin feel tight but gets it clean .  One thing  I found , for me,  however, was that it didn't remove makeup  enough. With this I needed  a makeup remover first.   I tend to  use something that does both but with this my  makeup needed to be removed ahead.  Once makeup was gone, this cleansed wonderfully and skin has  a nice, fresh feel.

$ 32.00 for 3.4 oz

Origins Zero Oil Cleanser and More

I try a lot of cleansers and generally like most of them , but am always it seems, on the hunt for the very best one. I think at last I have it- new Zero Oil from Origins.

When I first started using this we had just begun a week of high 90 temps, then it went over 100 . With my oily skin I expected meltdown and oil overload , yet when I looked in the mirror even after being out for a bit, my makeup looked great. Maybe a light powder needed but that was it. I thought , what's changed? And realized it was the cleanser.

Nothing has ever slowed down my oil like this and believe me I have tried. Do I still get some shine and oil, of course , but far less than normal. It really works and I was amazed.

Zero Oil has saw palmetto , mint and salicylic acid. It does have a minty feel and smell and gets skin super clean. Blessedly I seem to be seeing less blackheads on my nose also . Another first- I rarely need toner after this. Toner is a must normally.

Zero Oil is actually a whole line and Origin's says it is proven treat acne , reduce pore size and unclog pores with regular use of all products. The line also has a moisturizer which is a light, light, gel/cream with just the barest hint of moisture as well as salicylic acid that blends immediately and also a toner and instant matte which I haven't tried yet.

For this hot weather, my go to combo has been the Zero Oil cleanser and Clinique's new Acne Solutions foundation. These two get the job done and give me a basically flawless face for much of the day.

All Zero Oil products are on counter and online now at http://www.origins.com/

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Cleanser

I may be the last person to try the new L'Oreal Go 360 cleansers. I pride myself on being the first to try many things but I was, as you may be, not too sure about that scrublet thing.

Then my friend at Butterfly Diary tried and raved about it. Since I am also always looking for new and great cleansers , I was sold.

I went for the green one, Deep Facial Cleanser. I need deep with my oily, pore clogged skin and well I like green cleansers as a rule.

The scrublet works great and not too be worried about. It is super soft on your face , but really gets it clean. It massages lightly and you feel as if you are getting deeper clean than normal. My skin/pores looked it as well.

The Scrublet is trademarked and has 500 bristles and it pops right into the bottle for easy , no mess storage.

The cleanser itself lathers well with only a small amount and a nice, light scent. Notes in there include orange flower and mint. It's also oil free.

There are four Go 360 Clean Formulas including a scrub and a cream version.

Kenzoki Chilly Foaming Cleanser

In summer I began using the Kenzoki by Kenzo Chilly Foaming cleanser. It had been on my radar awhile but can only be ordered online, so it took some time for me to actually get one. The cleanser is part of the Energizing/Bamboo Leaf line tailored towards normal to oily skin .

It has now become a favorite. It really gets the oil off . In summer I am massive oily, but even with fall here, it's much the same. Using this, skin is very clean but I never feel dry or stripped after using it. It also has a nice, fresh scent thats a bit herbal tea like.

The cleanser is a gel and you don't need a lot . It lathers up only a little despite being called "foaming" , but gets the job done.

The whole Kenzoki line is intriguing , using many plant extracts and having aromatherapeutic qualities. I have also tried and liked the Nightwatcher Detoxifying Serum, a nice nightime treatment for oily skin . It's light but adds a bit of moisture and like the cleanser, is a gel .

Cleanser -$ 28.00 for 5.1 oz
Nightwatcher $ 60.00 for 1.7 oz

Chanel Mousse Exfoliante Purete Cleanser

I had just finished my loved Chanel Gel Purete cleanser when the new Mousse Exfoliante Purete came out.

Of course I needed to try it.

This mousse has a small amount of exfoliating beads in it. But it is a small amount. Nothing really abrasive, just very slight scrubbing.

This is a cleanser that is very gentle to skin but gets it clean. The mousse feels soft on your face, and your face feels soft after cleansing. It is less drying than the gel, and for me I think will be better suited to the colder months. It foams up well and you you need a very small amount to use. It seems no matter how small I use I still end up with more than I need.

Another top addition to the Chanel cleanser line. These may be more expensive, but hands down are some of the best I've used.

Meant to be for oily/combo but really suited for all skin types I think, except very dry.

$ 45.00 for 5 oz

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser

I've been on a cleanser testing kick for a few weeks . One has been from the Pores No More line from Dr. Brandt.

I have pores, do I ever. Oil etc. So I need all the help I can get.

This is a strong cleanser but does not leave your skin dry . It cleans well, really gets the oil off . It did burn my eyes a bit, even when I tried to avoid them so I needed to keep that in mind when using. It's a foaming gel and you don't need a lot.

The cleanser has salicyclic acid, tea tree oil, rosemary extract and willow bark. All know for anti- oil, anti -bacteria properties.

Pores No More Cleanser retails for $ 35.00 for 3.5 oz pump bottle.
