Reviews
Works perfectly!
"I"ve been using this precleanse for years and it works perfectly to remove all my makeup prior to cleansing (absolutely no makeup residue on my towel). I have very sensitive skin along with rosacea with occasional breakouts and I never have had an adverse reaction to this product."
— Joanne C. (5/5)
I literally don't feel like I can go anywhere without my pre-cleanse!
"Several years ago my skin was just horribly dry and my aesthetician suggested this Pre-Cleanse...that was 11 years ago and I am still using it. It breaks down all the make-up...from sumner routines to winter routines and my face doesn't feel like dry leather afterwards! When they offered a pre-cleanse sample and I was heading to Hawaii...I couldn't resist...now it's being kept for future trips!"
— Karen S. (5/5)
