I am SO sad to learn that L'OCCITANE is discontinuing this
cleanser!!! Both my mom and I have been using it for years and LOVE it so dearly. There is no other product like it on the marketplace that cleanses so thoroughly (removes even waterproof eye makeup without makeup remover) and yet leaves my skin so soft and moisturized.
PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT!!!

It's a nice
cleanser and it smells so fresh and nice. I just started using it, my face looks radiant and glowing. But, the pump spring broke, I put this
cleanser in another bottle.

This
cleanser is just heaven on my skin. It cleans my skin without drying it out or leaving a sticky, horrible mess behind.

This
cleanser is fantastic, especially when followed by the
toner and the moisturizer. I've been using it for the past three years and my skin is clear, soft, and tight (i.e. small pores and minimal lines). I wish so much that it would continue to be available. I don't know what I'll use when I run out. The Apple Almond line for faces is the best I have ever found. Please reconsider, l'Occitane, and don't discontinue it! There's nothing else like it!

I was so sad that this product made me break out so badly. I adore the smell and it actually made me feel very calm and ready for the day/night. I bought the whole line. However, after two weeks of use I broke out very badly. My husband actually asked me if I were channelling 1996 (high school). I have
sensitive skin and I am acne prone as well as easily scar.

I love this
cleanser and I am very dissappointed that it will be discontinued in May! I have very
sensitive skin and it is also fairly oily. I will break out if I use something that does not agree with my skin. This
cleanser makes my skin soft and actually controls the oil! It also removes dirt and makeup VERY well. It surprises me that an oil-based
cleanser ended up being so wonderful for my skin. Again, I am so sad to hear that it will be discontinued :(

This is the best facial care line. I use it twice daily and my face is softer and feels clean.

I am 56 and I love this cleanser! I use it with my Clarisonic Facial Cleansing System, followed by the Almond Apple Toner. My pores are looking smaller, and my skin looks more radient. I have been using samples of the moisturizer and it is lovey! So light and it never makes my skin feel oily or heavy. I normally use the Immortelle or the Divine moisturizer and they both absorb nicely too. I don't have blemish prone skin, but I do get whiteheads, and that has improved. Try it.

I have tried many products out of the loccitane line and i'm a huge fan, but this was the worst cleanser for my skin. I have a cystic acne flare up since i've started using it, and that is very rare for me. I thought i'd switch for the winter month to have something moisterizing but my face is greasy now eventhough i have combination skin usually with dry cheeks. I am very disappointed, and do not recommend this product. The rice and brightening cleansers are great though.

I am a huge fan of this cleanser! I really believe it has helped balance out my skin's oil production. I have combo-oily skin, VERY acne-prone and scars easily. I worried at first that it would leave me greasy, but it just leaves my face feeling balanced. Anyone with oily skin should not be afraid of this stuff- yes, it will feel different from what you're used to... but not in a bad way! One warning though- DON'T use on eye make-up. It will definitely clean it off but it burns!

I was rather hesitant to use an oil-based cleanser at first, thinking it might leave my skin feeling greasy. But this doesn't.. it cleans well and leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth, not over-cleansed and dry like some other cleansers.

i am a person with dry sensitive skin, on top of that i have Rosacea. let me warn anyone now that is thinking about buying this product and has Rosacea. Do not buy it! I'm sure if i had normal skin this product would be good, but i don't and it made my Rosacea worse, probably the worst i have ever had it. Not a product for people with Rosacea!

I have tried many cleansers and nothing has compared to this one. This one feels and smells great on your face! And what is unbelieveable about it is, no matter how much makeup I have on, it will take it all of no problem! No makeup remover needed. I use this with the entire Apple line of products, the eye gel, face cream, and toner and my face has never looked better!

I am 33 years old and purchased this product two weeks ago. I have sensitive acne-prone dry skin, and was a bit wary of using a cleansing oil. I was pleasantly surprised - smells great, washes off easily and I no longer have to use a moisturizer at night. Still waiting to see if has any positive or negative affects on my acne.

After seeing so many positive reviews for combination skin, I purchased this when I bought the Apple Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate while it was 25% off, which is great! This caused me to break out though. I use it at night in the shower to remove make-up, but it had bad pimples after just two uses. I don't think it can be anything else as this is the only new product in my skincare regime. I am disappointed. Maybe I need to wash with another cleanser after use...

This is by far my favorite cleanser ever. It melts all makeup and grime right off without leaving my skin dry or greasy. Plus it has a very delicate smell that I love.

Love this product! I wear liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara; the cleansing oil takes all of my eye makeup off without irritating my eyes. It leaves my skin feeling soft with a light, pleasant scent. It doesn't dry out my skin, but I do still need to moisturize afterward since my skin is very dry in the winter.

Nice product. Smells wonderful. Leaves skin soft and clean. I'm in my early 30's with combination skin and I really like using cleansing oils for my face. The only drawback I would have is that you have to avoid using this near your eyes. So if you wear eye make-up, you'll have to use a separate product to remove it. I have gotten this in my eyes and it is very irritating and will make my eyes water for a long time. So follow the instructions and avoid the entire eye contour area.

Great for winter, removes make-up perfectly, and no oily residue after rinsing, just leaves your skin hydrated. Very nice gentle smell. I have combination skin, and I use the rice line for summer, and this line in the winter.

I was a bit worried about using this as a facial cleanser since all the French on the packaging seemed to point towards it being used mostly as make-up remover. But last night I felt myself breaking out and washed my face with this. This morning, no break-out. It leaves my face feeling soft and refreshed. The areas of my face that are usually dry stay moisturized, too. Great stuff!

I searched for the perfect cleanser for my combination skin. I read that this cleanser is great for women in their 30's. I am 31, so I thought I would try it out. I must say it is the perfect cleanser! It doesn't dry my skin or leave it oily. My skin is velvety soft and I don't even need to use face lotion each time I wash my face. The fragrance is light and sweet. Take a chance and give it a try. You will be happy you did.

This is a great product. I was skeptical about trying a cleansing oil on my combination skin, but I found that the product removes all makeup and my T-zone is less oily after 6 months of use. My face feels clean and smooth after each cleansing, not greasy.

Using this oil is like receiving a kiss from an apple blossom. It is gentle, soft and soothing. It has the fresh air scent of springtime, besides being an effective way to clean your skin!

This cleansing oil is fantastic. I have combination/oily skin and use this every night. I massage it into my face for about 3 minutes and rinse well. My skin is left feeling clean and soft. Although it's an oil, it is great at cleaning off makeup and rinsing away clean.
