Paula's Choice CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser for Sensitive Skin, Calms + Soothes Redness, Daily Face Wash for Rosacea-Prone & Eczema-Prone Skin, Fragrance-Free & Paraben-Free, 6.7 Fl Oz.

I use this before and after I shave my head and I notice that when I do, it doesn't dry out my skin. I have less irritation/nicks and razor burn. So the value for the money is spot on because it helps keep my bald dome looking good. Very effective but gentle cleaner. Will probably keep this in the rotation and products I use for shaving my head and face.

I’ve been using Paula’s Choice skincare for many years.CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. I have sensitive skin that can easily become irritated, and finding a cleanser that effectively removes dirt and sunscreen without leaving my skin dry or tight has always been a challenge.This cleanser truly lives up to its “calm” name. The texture is a soft, lightweight gel that glides effortlessly over the skin and rinses off easily without any residue. It cleanses thoroughly while maintaining my skin’s moisture barrier, which is something I really appreciate. There’s no harsh stripping effect, no tightness afterward—just clean, refreshed skin that feels balanced.Another standout feature is how soothing it is. If my skin is feeling irritated or reactive, this cleanser helps calm it down instead of making things worse. There’s no added fragrance, which is a plus for sensitive skin, and the formula feels thoughtfully made for those prone to redness or dryness.Overall, if you’re looking for a gentle yet effective cleanser that won’t disrupt your skin’s natural balance, Paula’s Choice CALM Ultra-Gentle Cleanser is a fantastic choice. It’s one of the few cleansers I trust to cleanse without compromise.

I feel like this "gentle" cleanser is actually a gentle cleanser. crazy right. other gentle cleansers can leave my face dry or tight feeling and I can just tell my skin isn't doing well. or its super gentle and I don't feel like it cleaned?? but this is perfect. its expensive but it lasts me like 5ish months. you only need a dime sized amount like in picture and it works for my whole face and chest. my face feels clean and hydrated after and I am a repeat buyer. I would recommend this for people with sensitive skin.

OMG! This stuff is fantastic. It is so soft and gentle yet highly moisturizing. It smells lovely, too.

Gentle cleanser for irritated skin. It makes my face feel clean and soft without burning. It takes a bit of light scrubbing with a washcloth to fully remove makeup, though.

Update* has gone up in price again. Its now $24. Not worth the price anymore. I was once an avid PC user. I now use nothing from this brand and don't really miss it.If this wash was more affordable I'd give it 5 stars. It used to be $19 just a few months ago. It's gone up a couple of times since I started using it. I understand everything has gone up but $22 is steep. With that being said this face was is my all time favorite from this brand and others. A small amount goes a very long way, it's not drying but doesn't leave any residue, cleans well, and doesn't burn my skin or eyes. A LOT of face washes make these claims but from my personal experience they ALWAYS fall short in at least one of those categories. This one however is on point. I'll keep buying it for those reasons alone and that it does last a long time.

Absolutely love this cleanser, it’s been a consistent part of my skincare routine since 2022. It leaves my skin clean, hydrated, and soft. I use it as my second cleanser but this cleanser can also take off makeup. It is usually on sale but for the price it’s a great value for nearly 7 ounces of product. No scent, great for my sensitive skin.

Most cleansers break me out after a week. Been using this for over 2 months, and haven't had a breakout yet.
