Paula's ChoiceDEFENSE Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Facial Cleanser with Green Tea, Licorice, Aloe & Soy, Anti-Pollution and Free Radical Damage Protection for All Skin Types, 6.7 Ounce Bottle

My mother-in-law got me a sample of this cleanser, and I love the formula! I have combo skin on the dryer side sometimes and find this cleanser to be gentle on the skin and less stripping than previous cleaners. It is a smooth and hydrating gel, you really only need the tiniest bit! I squeeze a small amount of product and massage into my face and then wet my fingertips to create suds and clean my skin. A simple yet quality and essential skincare product for your routine!

I've been using DEFENSE cleanser as well as the SPF moisturizer for a few months now. I like the quality of the cleanser; it comes out of the bottle as a thicker liquid and after you start to massage it onto your face it has a creamier feel. I usually massage the cleanser for 1 minute and then rinse. After using it, when my face dries it leaves my face feeling clean without any dryness or leaving any kind of residue feel. I do have more sensitive skin and the DEFENSE cleanser doesn't make my face red or irritated at all; it's also fragrance free!! If you're looking for a cleanser that will minimize pores or take care of acne, this wouldn't be what you're looking for. But if you just want a clean feeling face with some protection from all that pollution in the air (if you, like me, live in a large city) this is a great cleanser. This was also my first purchase from PC and I definitely will keep using PC products.

I’ve tried so many cleansers over the years that beat up my skin. This is the best at giving a clean, non-irritated cleansing with moisture after.

I struggle with dry skin, specially because I love foam face washes. This product is perfect because my skin doesn’t feel tight and dry even with the foam. I love that it removes all my make up without stripping the moisture out of my face.

I like the product but the bottle is prone to leaking in your travel bag.

This is great for using as the second step if you double cleanse. My face feels so clean but not dry or tight. I have combo skin. I love all of Paula's Choice products.

Love all of Paula’s Choice products! This cleanser can be used for all skin types. All of Paula’s products are $$, but you don’t need to use a lot of the product to get good results, so they last a long time. The best thing about this product is that it is unscented and unassuming. Perfect for my husband who has issues using things that are gender coded female. This product can be used for anyone! Remember to moisturizer afterwards.

I recommend this brand and keep this item as my face wash for in the shower. I intend to keep stocked up on this product.
