Elta MD Skincare Foaming Facial Cleanser, Gentle Enzyme Cleanser

Love the foaming action of the cleanser

Love the foaming action of the cleanser, and that squeaky clean! There is no scent, and you can totally tell when you need a second washing (can’t get away with not removing your makeup first) because you don’t get that thick, frothy foam after 30 seconds. The only gripe I have with the product is the residue that is always hanging off the little plastic spout, and hardens after time. I guess it foams up a little bit at the mouth of the spout, and dries up, causing crusting, and it’s annoying to have to scrape it off or the cleanser won’t come out. — Leelelilyleigh reviewed

Love this foaming cleanser!

My son bought me a Clarisonic for my birthday and he included this foaming cleanser. My husband started using it – so now it was disappearing faster than I wanted. Didn’t want to purchase it from a dermatologist – only because I live in a rural area and would have to drive 45+ mins. I was excited to find it on Amazon! It works great. — Leelelilyleigh reviewed

Wonderful Feeling!

This product was recommended by the esthetician in my dermatologist’s office. It arrived undamaged and the product itself is wonderful and cleansing for the skin without drying or irritation. One tiny comment: attention to detail in packaging before mailing would have been a good idea. Other reviewers have commented on the product being damaged in transit. Mine arrived in a flimsy limp padded envelope, and I was surprised it survived intact. The box in which the product was packaged was mangled but fortunately the product itself was fine. I personally use a better grade of padded envelope (purchased on Amazon) when I mail hand-made greeting cards, so I was a bit disappointed to receive an item costing almost thirty dollars in a flimsy and light-weight envelope. The shipper needs to pay attention to detail and not skimp on necessary product packaging. — ProudMiMi reviewed

Feels like it’s actually working…you get suds!

I’ve been trying this for about 2 weeks now and I love it. I’ve tried lots of Ph balanced cleansers, but this one beats them all. It actually makes suds. Most do not. Somehow you feel like it’s getting your face cleaner if you can see and feel suds. LOL. The very faint fragrance is nice, and I’m sensitive to smells. If I had to find any complaint about this cleanser, it would be the dispenser. The spout is a little larger and tends to get clogged occasionally. I run it under the hot water, and it’s fine. I’m currently using a number of the Elta MD products—some were recommended by my dermatologist several years ago. I’m very pleased with them all. Highly recommend. — Florida Girl reviewed

Foams up and feels fresh as it cleanses – the real item

Foams up and feels fresh as it cleanses. I like that it’s fragrance-free and it does not feel greasy. Nozzle on bottle gets filled with dried cleanser but simply push it off with finger tip (or just ignore – the dried “plug” comes out when actuating the bottle pump – no cause for complaint). It cleanses face really well and even on eye lids without stinging (keeping eyes closed of course!). I’ve ordered this product 3 times from Amazon at a much better price than I used to get from my dermatologist, same product, in same box, in same bottle. Questions of authenticity in some of these reviews are baffling. It’s a good, genuine product at a great price that performs as advertised. — OBX reviewed

Great for my acne-prone, red, combo skin

I have been acne-prone more years than I have not at this point. I used drugstore systems in high school with no luck. I used Proactive in college, which helped reduce my big breakouts but made my face so red and still left me with acne. I have since started using gentler products with great results. MY SKIN IS THE BEST IT HAS BEEN IN 2 DECADES. No more greasy forehead or red, irritated chin.

I currently wash with this morning and night – so gentle, no chemical Proactive-like smell. I’m glad they offer a travel-size pump too! At night, I use Curology cream. In both the mornings and night, I use Skinn by Ann Webb moisturizer (available on Amazon) – usually the guava with zinc/sunscreen, but occasionally heavier stuff.

Remember to give yourself a couple of months with a new routine to really see how it’s working, especially when you’re going to a gentler routine. — JC107 reviewed

My favorite facial cleanser

This is my favorite facial cleanser. I usually wash my hands before washing my face. While my hands are still wet from having washed them, I will put one pump of this foaming facial cleanser in my hands and apply to my face. After about 10 seconds of scrubbing gently on my face it creates a dense foam…. do not expect a bubbly foam like a bubble bath… this is not meant to create suds but a thick dense foam. This helps clean out the pores without any air pockets getting in the way. My skin always feels so fresh and deeply cleanser afterwards. I have normal-oily skin. — EngrGirl reviewed

Second one

This is now my to go cleanser, I have very sensitive, easily-break-out skin type whenever I use a wrong product on my face, this one never cause any trouble for me, and also goes very gentle on my skin, what I usually do is to use some warm water to wash my face directly and gently ro open my pores (hopefully) but mainly cuz it feels so nice, then I get some drops of this product on my hand, make it foamy using both hands and then apply to my face gently doing circular massage on desired area for around 30 seconds-1 minutes, afterwards rinse it with warm water. Of course follow up with your regular skin care routine 🙂 — EShiba reviewed

AWESOME

I’m 59 and have dry skin. I am IN LOVE with this product. I do not detect a scent, one pump is all you will need. It was packaged well. The box was not damaged. It really lathers! Follow the instructions. Squeeze the product into the palm of your hand. Wet your other hand and mix the two together, rub onto the face and add more water and it and the lather just keeps on forming. I used a washrag to remove all of the residue. It really cleaned my face and did not strip it at all. Very, very pleased and will not buy anything else. — Zi Miao reviewed

Worth the price- a great cleanser!

I don’t buy many skincare products but I love this cleanser! At first I was concerned that the price was expensive for a facial cleanser but I happily discovered that a pea-sized amount is sufficient to lather your face and neck! I have sensitive skin and this gently but thoroughly cleans makeup and sunscreen from my skin. It has a great scent and leaves your face clean and soft-not dry. It is great to use before the Barrier Renewal Complex and UV Daily MoIsturizing Facial Sunscreen. I wish the cleanser came in a smaller container to use in the shower but the pump fits nicely on my bathroom counter. — ukulele lady reviewed

Gentle cleanser

I have a sensitive skin, and acne prone. I tried a lot of acne medication fash wash but none of them works, plus they just dry out my skin even more. I was skeptical on trying this, but I gave it a shot since my dermatologist keep promoting it. I thought, let me support the products they displayed. I tried it, and it removes my make up all right, I don’t need some makeup wipes (which saves me money) and it doesn’t dry out my skin. I ordered more here and will be ordering it for a lifetime. — Inday reviewed

Cleans Well, Great for Sensitive Skin

Both my husband and I use this. I have rosacea and he has eczema. We have sensitive skin. This cleanser does not irritate our skin AND our faces are clean. We noticed our blackheads are kept at a minimum and we don’t break out. We use twice a day without issue. A good, trustworthy daily cleanser. — Inday reviewed

Great product

My daughter had breakouts on her face. We tried many products which didn’t work and also some prescription stuff my doctor recommended. I finally took her to a dermatologist who had her use this. It cleared her skin up within days. She no longer has breakouts except for one time when she ran out of this. Once we ordered it and she started using it again, her skin cleared up and is so pretty and no breakouts, which is super important for a teenager. I love this stuff. I think it is a miracle product. I had my doubts since nothing else worked, but it really works great. — Raeil reviewed

The Best Facial Cleanser

This is a wonderful, gentle cleanser that makes your face feel clean but not chapped or raw. You have to make sure to massage it on your face for at least 30 seconds to give the bubbles time to foam up. Really nice, clean feeling, but not harsh. Highly recommend for sensitive or aging skin types! — Kathy Bradford reviewed

The best facial cleanser ever used

This facial cleanser is definitely the best product I have ever used. Of course everyone has their own skin condition. My face is usually kind oily during summer but dry in winter. This cleanser doesn’t feel dry at all after using and has a very good cleaning function. It is a little hard to foam it by hand but definitely is a good product. — EO reviewed

The BEST!

I have the most sensitive, acne-prone skin ever. This has been a life-saved! I wear tons of makeup to cover my scars and all it takes is one simple rinse with this and ALL makeup is gone. It was prescribed from my dermatologist who is legit in Philadelphia. Don’t listen to these trolls who say it’s half full; I’ve been using this for 5 years and ordering it from amazon and I have NEVER had a problem — my36 reviewed

BEST PORE CLEANSER EVER

This foaming cleanser will clear up your skin, and empty your pores. Bought my first bottle from my dermatologist… this is a little more cost effective to order with Amazon Prime. I even made my teenager a believer! One pump in the shower, put on the face and neck and leave on 30 seconds! — Ashley Taylor reviewed

Best for acne and sensitive skin

I tried everything from best seller face washes to expensive ones BUT this was a game changer totally for me. It worked wonders for my new acne experience in life ever. This is very effective in maintaining the ph balance of skin and It’s my holy grail. My dermatologist recommended this and since it’s the only product I use for my day and night skincare routine. Highly highly recommend and there is no side effects for me. — RéOnFire reviewed

Good

It was a little inconvenient when opening this facial cleanser for the first time, but it was convenient afterwards because it was squeezed. I am a mixed oil skin, it is very gentle to use and does not irritate the skin. You only need to squeeze once to wash your face. It is also prone to foaming. After using it for a while, I found that my acne was really less than before. — Monalisa Singh reviewed

Great daily cleanser

I’m 34 with sensitive skin, redness, and occasional breakouts and some beginning fine lines. I
consider myself a beauty product junkie. I’ve tried several high end cleansers and this is better than the rest. My skins looks and feels great after using. Not too harsh but cleanses. I would highly recommend it. — Leona reviewed

good for sensitive skin

I love this facial cleanser so much. It is literally suitable for sensitive skin!!! And it cleans my face without feeling dry. That is to say, it is moisturizing my skin and has good hydration. I have use this product for several years. I highly recommend this amazing product to ladies who have dry and sensitive skin!!!! — Lily reviewed

Perfect!

This is a great foaming wash. It’s perfect, has no detectable fragrance, is concentrated, doesn’t dry my skin, so it is truly moisturizing. There’s definitely a tingling sensation when washing so the amino acids are activated. Another feature that is wonderful is the pump bottle only dispenses a small amount of the product so you can control how much you are using. I will be ordering this again and again. — Lily reviewed

Quality and smell

I love this it’s amazing I use it everyday it was little bit oil moisture kind where very soapy that it takes off mascara make up so nicely as well I don’t have to use make up remover. Has nice scent to it as well very light. It’s huge when I buy it I usually use it for good 3-5 month. I have been using this product now for over a year. I bought second time already. It’s best foam to wash my face with in early morning. I tried other products but this was the best. — Leslie Wilson reviewed

Still love my Elta foaming Facial Cleanser

I’ve been using this foaming skin cleanser for several years now. When my local supplier stopped carrying it, I shopped online, since my face really responded well to it.
I’m happy to say I continue to buy it from the same supplier and am very happy with the product and with the fast delivery when I reorder. — Nargiza reviewed

Works just as well as Doterra Clear skin

I was tired of paying $30 a month for Doterra Clear Skin and decided to try this out.
It lathers like no body’s business and the bottle lasts a long time.
It doesnt feel as intense as Doterra but my skin does feel super clean and has also stayed just as clear as it did with doterra.
Never going back. — Sue M. Smith reviewed

Excellet product

I use EltaMD face lotion with sunscreen and have been very pleased with that product. Tried the face soap and am really liking how just a little bit foams for a nice face wash and rinses easily. The pump does clog every 3-4th use, but easily rinses free. — Lindsay reviewed

The best!

I have pores and this foam feel amazing it does not smell much and you feel the cleanest. My face has cleared and toned thanks to this. It’s pricier to me than like drug store favorir washes, but it’s so worth it. I promise. I swear I’ve tried proactive, and a lot of cleansers and this has been my best investment. — MGaffer reviewed

THE BEST

This is the best face wash out there. It comes from an excellent line (sold at plastic surgery clinics), produces a nice thick foam and is great for removing make-up. I use it with my Clarisonic, which enhances the product even more. I have acne prone skin and this product is the only cleanser that is gentle enough to use without stripping the oil and moisture. I highly recommend this product! — Leslie Nicolas reviewed

So luxurious!

Very luxurious face wash. I’ve used their sunscreen for years and I have great respect for this brand. It is creamy and makes luxurious foam, but is not drying in the least.
Don’t hesitate give it a try, your skin will thank you for it. — Mrs. Brooks reviewed

My daughter and both use it!!

This is a great product! I was given samples from a spa for my 15 year old daughter to use. It cleans very well It spreads evenly over your face. It doesn’t take a lot to use. The foam is wonderful and once it is rinsed off your skin is left so smooth. Yes…I use it now also. — Pamela H reviewed
