1. I don't recall ever being in love with a cleanser before Review by Make Up Alley, by Zernelle

   I don't recall ever being in love with a cleanser before, but I absolutely adore this product. I have long desired to use more natural products in my skincare routine, but I generally feel frustrated with the majority of "natural" products on the market. Many have nearly as many synthetic ingredients as standard products with some plant-based ingredients thrown in, usually ingredients that my sensitive skin dislikes. Products that don't fall into that category often come from companies that are so concerned with not using "bad" ingredients that rather than on developing products that are good for skin, they simply fill their products with bland oils (olive, jojoba, safflower, etc.), which my acne-prone skin dislikes. And products in both categories are often chock full of essential oils, which my skin usually can't tolerate. So I was delighted to find Sophyto, which actually uses science to develop products that are beneficial to skin, don't use synthetic ingredients (and most of the ingredients are certified organic), and are free of essential oils and any kind of added fragrance, and most of the products (with the exception of the two moisturizers) are completely oil-free.
   This cleanser is the only Sophyto product I've used so far, but I like it so well, that I plan to try other products as I use up all the stuff that I already have. Sophyto recommends that this cleanser not be used to remove makeup since it can irritate eyes, so I use it in the morning. I love that it makes my skin feel fresh and clean without leaving it at all dry or tight yet it never leaves a residue. I've never used a cleanser that leaves my skin so perfectly balanced. I also love the way it gently exfoliates my skin. I use one pump of the product each morning. It comes out foamy but doesn't really lather (in this respect it reminds me of Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, but the Aveeno cleanser left a film on my skin). I spread the foam onto my face, neck, and chest, focusing most of the cleanser onto my face. Then I massage the product into my facial skin for 1-2 minutes (I'm usually too hurried to mess much with my neck and chest), and if I have any skin that needs to be exfoliated, this cleanser gently loosens it, and I can feel it moving around under my fingertips. It's the perfect way to prep my skin for the day, and it's one of my favorite skincare products. I've stopped using all other acne products (BHA, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids), and although I get the occasional pimple, my skin is clearer than it's been since before I hit puberty. This cleanser is rather pricey, but using one pump once a day, I can get nearly six months of use out of one bottle. My only complaint is that although the product is supposed to have "a delicate aroma of apples," I think it smells mildly like urine. However, it's not a strong odor, it doesn't linger, and I hardly notice it anymore.

2. smaller pores Review by toni

   I have used this cleanser for almost 5 days and have noticed a visible difference in the size of my pores. It has helped eliminate the blackheads I used to get around my nose and chin and friends/family have noticed a huge improvement in such a short time. I use with purigy and energise super bioactive - they work really well together. Can't recommend enought! (Posted on 9/26/09)

3. Excellent cleanser Review by Lisa

   Best in the market in my opinion. Helps to prevent and calm down inflammed skin and keeps pores minimised and skin supple when used together with the purify and energise bioactive regularly. (Posted on 8/8/09)

5. Very mild, yet effective Review by peebo

   A great mild glycolic cleanser that has helped my acne no end! Doesn't strip skin or leave it feeling really tight. Does a great job removing all the grime and excess oil leaving it feeling soft and fresh. (Posted on 6/22/09)

6. Great cleanser! Review by Yvette

   I've only used this cleanser twice, but so far I really like it. It's a gentle foaming cleanser that cleanses the skin without stripping or irritating. I have sensitive skin but prone to clogged pores and mild acne, and am always searching for an effective cleanser but one that doesn't irritate my skin and make it "red" as a tomatoe! I'm unable to use products with SLS (sodium laureth or lauryl sulfate) and heavy fragrances. I'm glad Sophyto's products are formulated without SLS and fragrance. Hoping this cleanser will continue to gently refine my skin while not irritating it. :) (Posted on 6/12/09)

7. Great mild cleanser! Review by YE

   I've only used this twice, but so far this is a nice slightly foaming cleanser that doesn't strip the skin. I can only use products that are SLS (sodium laureth and lauryl sulfate free) and this fits the bill. Also, it doesn't contain fragrance which is another big plus that I look for. My skin is a little sensitive but acne or "clog" prone, and hoping this cleanser can help refine my skin a little without making me red or dry. It's frustrating as a consumer trying to find effective products that work but don't strip or irritate the skin. (Posted on 6/12/09)

8. Smaller pores Review by lynn

   By far the best cleanser I have ever used. This cleanser appeared to have shrunk my pores over the months I have been using it. I was told by my facialist that its because of the natural glycolic acids from the sugar and apples - hhmm interesting - or should I say food for thought! Don't ever stop making this - I don't want my large pores back. (Posted on 5/4/09)

9. Favorite cleanser Review by Seth K.

   Not only does this cleanser do an awesome job at keeping my pores clear, but it keeps my wrinkles at bay with it's rejuvenating qualities. I never have a problem with excess oil anymore either. Sophyto products have transformed my skin. Thank you so much. (Posted on 4/22/09)
