Cleansers aren't that fine, this one does what it says.
Review by Martin

Though without fragrance this cleanser smells nice, feels nice, rinses off nice, and I've found that it provides enough lubrication for me to use for shaving (unless I've been lazy and there's a lot to shave off). It's a bit boring, but, I don't think you can make cleansers fun, and if you did, that would probably not be any good for the skin at all. If I feel rich one day, I will probably use this one for my body, too, due to acne, but that's another story. (Posted on 17/04/2012)Product Rating -

A great cleanser! Removes all makeup without making my skin feel tight or dry! I can't say that this product alone makes wonders for my complexion but it's definetily better than any cleanser I have tryed before! (Posted on 29/12/2011)Product Rating -
Excellent results quickly

I was sceptical that this would be as good as other reviewers have said, but thank you to those who have bothered to write a review as it really did influence my decision to purchase this cleanser and the toner. I am very glad I did, these products work. I have had several lumpy red blotches under my chin/throat for months - they clear up only to reappear within days or one heals and two more arrive. Within 3 days of using this product every single lump has cleared up. AMAZING! My skin is fairly dry in places and I'm 39. This does not leave my skin feeling tight and has not dried out my skin. It has improved the overall texture. Thank you. Fabulous products. (Posted on 22/06/2011)Product Rating -
Gentle cleanser which is great for acne
Review by Jo

I have suffered with acne since I was a teen and the CLEAR system from Paula's choice literally saved my skin! My acne was really bad with stress/hormones last year but these products have really worked and sorted my skin out. I still have spots but the skin around it glows and looks really healthy and keeps spots/blackheads under control.Product Rating
The cleanser itself is really lightweight and gentle, you only need a small one penny sized amount (unless you have lots of makeup on - though this just aggrevates acne in my case). It cuts through the oil on your face leaving it feeling really balanced, yet not drying it out. The product doesnt have perfume in either which saves it from irritation.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone suffering with acne, I would use the whole system as they are all required for different things. I tried to scrimp by not using the toner and moisturiser last month and ended up with a breakout after using other products so learn from my mistake! Also dont suffer in silence and see a doctor in conjunction with these products if you have acne - they can help too. (Posted on 21/06/2011) -
another great product

This is a good straight forward cleanser that feels gentle yet is effective and importantly non-drying. I use this in conjunction with the toner and have really seen results like with no other products I have tried, and I have tried a few!! (Posted on 10/05/2011)Product Rating -
my daughter and my son are fighting over it !
Review by Anne-Ce

I saw an article about Paula's book and decided to bought it when my daughter started to complain about acne. It changed the life of all the family. My daughter can't do without this cleanser combine with over the counter benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Her spotty face has disappeared. When her brother started to spot one blemish on his face, he asked to have his own bottle !Product Rating

Best Products In The World!
Review by Victoria

I love this product my skin has never looked better. I just wish all of your products came in a BIGGER size!! So that all of the products would last a little bit longer which in turn would save on the high costs of VAT. (Posted on 10/11/2010)Product Rating -

Review by Pep

I have adult acne that comes and goes so I have tried a few products on the market over the years.I'm pleased with the Clear Normalizing Cleanser as it is dealing gently with my breakouts and it's not harsh at all.I like the fact that it's not leaving my skin dry either.Thank you Paula. The Shipping is quite expensive is the warehouse not based in Europe? . (Posted on 08/11/2010)Product Rating -

Since I have been using this Clear cleanser in combination with the toner, even my beautician can see the difference. (Posted on 22/06/2010)Product Rating -
Great cleanser! Would not use another
Review by Gill

I love this cleanser. In fact since I have started to use the Clear System I feel I have control over my skin. No more nasty breakouts on dry, dull skin. I can't say I don't ever get spots but they are no as inflamed and they are few and far in between. This cleanser removes my heavy eye makeup most the time and does not strip my skin of all its oils. My face just feels clean, not tight and begging for moisturiser like most cleansers leave me.Product Rating
Would recommend to all. (Posted on 27/04/2010) -
A great no-nonsense cleanser
Review by snow

Thank you Paula for educating me about not using irritants on my problem skin. I have struggled with adult acne for 20 years and I have finally understood why over-the-counter and other irritants-containing products never worked for me.Product Rating
This light-weight gel is a delight to use. Easy to rinse out and makes my skin soft and supple. I also use the CLEAR Extra Strength Targeted Blemish Relief Toner and Skin Balancing Moisture Gel in my routine, and within a week of use I can see a huge difference to my skin. My spots are healing and no new ones are appearing. For the first time in years I feel I have control over my skin. (Posted on 18/03/2010) -

I am really impressed on how well this lightweight gel can clean even my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation without making my skin feel dry or irritated. Great product. I wish it came in a bigger size. (Posted on 09/12/2009)Product Rating
Splash the face and eyes generously with tepid to slightly warm water. Spread a nickel- to quarter-sized amount of cleanser over your fingers and apply to facial skin with gentle but vigorous circular motions. Rinse well. Repeat or use with a clean washcloth to remove heavy makeup.

The CLEAR Normalizing Cleanser contains triclosan, an ingredient Paula has mentioned isn't a good option for acne. Why did she include it?
Paula has said that triclosan as an antibacterial ingredient is not enough to fight acne, it takes other products to really make a difference. Aside from a cleanser with triclosan, a product containing salicylic acid and another containing benzoyl peroxide are the perfect combination for treating acne, which is exactly what Paula's Choice CLEAR 3-Step System offers. Recent research indicates that triclosan may play a stronger role than originally thought when it comes to anti-acne skin care. We have used triclosan in an amount that is effective as a first line of defense against acne-causing bacteria.
