Refreshing, Renewing Cleanser
Last spring I was in the mood for a new cleanser and was lucky enough to win Mario Badescu's "Enzyme Cleansing Gel" from another site. This is a non-foaming gel, perfect for any type of skin. It leaves your complexion completely clear of makeup, dirt, and residue without a taut feeling. The ingredients are amazing, mainly consisting of glycerin and exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acids which keep dea...read mored cells from building up and leave your complexion looking clearer with each use. I went on to purchase this again and again; the only problem is that I sometimes have to wrestle it from my husband.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Did not like it....
I've heard many great things about the Mario Badescu line. I was hoping for a daily facial wash that will remove all my makeup. However, this cleansing gel is really gentle and it leaves my skin feeling soft but after washing this off, it feels like I still have residue left on my face. My skin does not feel clean at all! It has a really soapy scent and when I put it on my face, my eyes start to burn. After using this one time, I returned it back to Ulta. Was not impressed at all!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A must have cleanser
I love this cleanser. It is extremely silky, cleans amazingly well and removes make-up even from the eyes. This cleanser doesn't stripe the moisture from your skin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Great Second Cleanse
I double clease and lately have been using this as my second. It has a great, slightly medicinal smell. Gel consistancy, irridescent green in color. Doenst overdry my skin but I feel clean and fresh after use. Its really lovely but dont bother trying a facial massage with it. Not slippery enough.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Enzymes, The Next Best Thing?
This is a great makeup remover especially because it is gel based, there isn't a greasy or dry, tight feeling after cleansing. I was hesitant to use this at first especially because there was no foaming, soap like consistency, or even creaminess just like any other cleanser I've used but when I noticed it had made all the foundation go away, it was a keeper. The smell reminds me of fresh cut alo...read moree vera and it's a light green gel that you directly apply to your face. It's easy, low priced, and very effective. The best part? It softens my super sensitive skin without a trace of irritation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

This brand is horribly overlooked!!!
As a beauty freelance writer, i try A LOT of products; all different brands, from all over the world. For years i avoided this brand: thinking back i think it had to do with the packaging (just didn't catch my eye) and the fact that my dad used this brand (so maybe it got stuck in my head that this was a men's-only brand). I'm thrilled i finally tried it. I've been using this cleansing gel daily w...read moreith the glycolic clanser (2 or 3 times a week) and my skin has never looked better. You may be thrown off that it doesn't foam, but it thoroughly cleanses skin and gobbles lack-luster skin cells on the surface. I've had no reaction or redness to my sensitive skin and my comedones are non-existant!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

The Worst Ever!!!!
I bought this along with many other Mario Badescu products because I was wanting to find a relatively cheaper brand than the Dermalogica brand that I've been using from Ulta. I also wanted something that worked just as powerful. However, this cleansing gel did not help my skin at all. Each night of using it, I found more and more pimples. Then, when the cystic acne started to show up I ran back t...read moreo Ulta desperate for another product to help me. They pointed me to using Mario Badescu's Buffering Lotion and Drying Lotion. They told me that along with the Enzyme Cleansing Gel, which was in their perspective making the bad acne come to the surface of my skin to purify my skin, this all would control the acne that I was now dealing with. Trusting them, I used all of the products and then the acne got worse, especially the cystic acne. I hadn't deal with this since being a teenager and especially since using Dermalogica. The pimples on my face were hurting and very painful. I have combination dry skin and although the enzyme cleansing gel was not drying my skin out, which was the only thing good about this product, it was not thoroughly cleaning my skin, which caused bad bacteria to build up in my skin. Along with these products mentioned, I also bought the Mario Badecu Vitamin C moisturizer which sat on top of my skin and did not penetrate into my skin to nourish it. I don't suggest this product line to anyone. I have to now recover my face. I just returned all of the MB products and bought again the dermalogica products again. This morning my skin felt great and for the first time in about 2 weeks, I woke up with no new pimples and the pimples I have now that was from using the MB products have drastically gone down and stopped working. This was my fault ultimately for not listening to my skin the time that I went back to ask the workers at Ulta about what's happening to my skin after using the enzyme cleanser, but I wanted others to know about what happened to me. This may not be the case for others, but for me, this has been the worst experience with any product line.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

The Enzyme Gel works so well!
I was used to cleansers that would lather and often dry out my skin but the enzymes in this cleanser leave my skin feeling more balanced and smooth. The smell is even refreshing and it is nice to wake up my skin in the morning when I wash my face. I like to use my Cucumber Cleansing Lotion/Toner after to remove any traces of makeup residue. Perfect cleanser for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
