Good
It's a good cleanser but the price is a bit steep for me.

Best cleanser I’ve used
Easily lathers up, removes all my make up in one go and leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and not stripped at all. Just about to run out of my first bottle and will buy again! Only downside is not a travel friendly bottle as is prone to leaking - must be kept uprightÂ

Best I’ve ever tried
Easily the best cleanser I’ve ever had, great for makeup and doesn’t dry skin

Fantastic Cleanser
I struggle with cleansers because I have very dry skin and they make my skin feel tight and stripped. I was recommended this one by a friend and honestly it's fantastic. You only need a little bit too so this bottle lasts ages. It feels like it gets thicker and creamer when you add it to damp skin and when I wash my face it feels soft and hydrated instead of stripped.

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.
