This is a great face wash - very mild and good at cleaning. Does not have a lot of foam.

Great!
Great for removing makeup. I always double cleanse with this. More soapy than Ceta***. Skin does not feel dry after.

Zero stars should be an option. This made my break out spectacularly. If you want dark marks and scars, this is the product for you!

made me look like a pepperoni pizza
HORRIBLE, while i didn’t get it from target specifically it’s still the same product. the first day i used it - it made my skin so dry and on the second day i started to notice pimples growing all throughout my right cheek and it only got worse as i kept using it. Once i stopped i started using a BHA toner (paula’s choice) and my skin got so much better (photo on the left was when i was using it and the second photo was with the BHA)

Best Cleanser Honestly
I used curology with the custom formula for years cause I had minor breakouts when I was a teenager. Realized after puberty I didn’t breakout like I used to so didn’t need the custom part but the cleanser was the only cleanser I’ve liked out of everything i’ve tried. I have mixed skin dry/then gets oily throughout the day, and this one’s been the best for me. If you only get a few acne problems here and there I def recommend this one if your problems aren’t too severe. This also removes makeup very well, don’t need to get a makeup remover if you use this. Also I feel like you get a good amount for the price

Love it
My favorite facial wash. I don’t have much acne except for a few pimples around my period. This facial wash is good enough for my skin to not use anything else and it keeps my acne at a distance. My skin doesn’t feel dry or oily after using it either. I used to have my personal subscription to curology but my skin didn’t have a demand for the product after a year or 2 of use. Any ways love this face wash if you like this product I definitely recommend trying their subscription. It works.

Pimples within days
I have large pores, oil and acne prone skin. I was looking for a gentle cleanser to help clean my skin without drying it out too much (I'm starting to get wrinkles). Within a day or two, pimples starting popping up on my nose, chin and cheeks. I wasn't sure if it was a purge so I continued for another week with no success. I'm on day two without the cleanser and my skin is back to normal. I would recommend skipping if you have oily, acne prone skin.

My go to face wash
I’ve been using this face wash for a few years and it’s cleared up my skin so much. It is super light and doesn’t leave my skin too dry or too oily.

The BEST
I'm so glad I tried Curology! It keeps my face clear and paired with Moisturizer, smooth and hydrated as well. The absolute best 'big box' store facial cleanser I've ever used. My teen daughter recently started using it as well and it works wonders for her as well.

Not for everyone.
Online Curology subscriber for years now. I thought I could save money by buying this face wash at Target but I was wrong. This face wash quality isn't that great, I started breaking back out after using it. I mean I could have received a dud. I like the consistency(heavier) from the curology website better.

Great face wash
This has been the most effective face wash I’ve found over the last few years. My face feels clean without being too dry after use. I love the price point as well. A great buy!

Eh its not great
I have sensitive skin, and I wanted to try this out after using Neutrogena face wash: it was drying and it didn’t feel like it was cleaning out my pores well.

Only cleanser I can use!
I am thrilled I can get this cleanser at target! I bought it once with curology but did not want the whole box of subscription products. I literally cannot use ANY other cleanser without flare ups of rosacea and full on break outs! I was scared to try it in the first place but now that I am getting older, I couldn't keep drying my face out twice a day with bar soap or acne treatments. This cleanser was a pleasant surprise and I hope they never stop making it! It is strong enough to make my oily sensitive skin clean without inflaming it. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft which is a mira me for me lol!
