Epicuren Discovery Citrus Herbal Cleanser, 4 oz.

The cleanser itself is amazing! The packaging is cheap! Couldn’t get the pump to work - have to manually pour it out.

I LOVE this herbal cleanser! The scent is absolutely lovely, so fresh. I use the smallest amount on my face at the start of my shower so I can enjoy it for the extent of my shower.

Been using this for years. Best product around

I ran out of my Epicuren cleanser, so I tried a different natural product (purchased it from Whole Foods) and started to notice tiny acne bumps on my face and neck area. I have very sensitive skin, but haven't broke out like this in 20+ years. So I was set on finding a product that didn't cost as much as Epicuren and purchased another cleanser that had great reviews. It had the same reaction to my skin....where I felt more tiny bumps around my neck and cheek area. Not too noticeable, but I could tell the difference! So of course, I went back to Epicuren. I tried the citrus herbal cleanser and am so relieved that the bumps went away. We all react to cleansers differently, but all I can say is that I will continue to buy this product because it works for me!

I am a first time user of Epicuren products but as a former esthetician I have had the opportunity to test and try many, many cleansers. I purchased this cleanser, even though I thought it was rather pricey, based on the stellar reviews it received. Epicuren seems to have a devoted following according to the reviews and maybe their other products are worthy of this adoration. I have been using it for about 2 weeks, intermittently with other cleansers I use. I could not use this every day. I found it to be rather drying and I do not have particularly dry skin. One male reviewer said this was similar to engine degreaser I think were his words. I wouldn't go so far as to say that but I do not find it to be a very gentle cleanser either. It leaves my skin feeling a bit tight and dry like some acne cleansers might. I don't like cream cleansers or milky cleansers or those that leave your skin feeling over moist but I also don't like my skin feeling dry either. Goldilocks here. If you like a squeaky clean feeling, or if you have rather oily skin then you may like this product. Dry skin types or mature skin types will probably not prefer this cleanser. Remember that stripping your skin of its protective barrier will only stimulate your skin to generate more oil to compensate. Skin needs to retain it's barrier function. It does foam nicely and one pump is more than adequate. I did not find the scent overly citrus though I am not one of those people who are sensitive to scent. It smelled pleasant but nothing remarkable IMO. For my money I would not purchase this cleanser again. I prefer the drug store brand Aveeno Sensitive Skin foaming cleanser. Aveeno is about 1/3rd the price of this cleanser and my skin feels clean, and fresh without over stripping. Unless one wears a lot of heavy makeup or have excessively oily skin washing your face 2x a day may not be necessary regardless of what many product lines lead you to believe. I have found over the years that washing my face once a day and then using a mild toner or even splashing with warm water keep my skin looking its best. I'll use this product up as it was too expensive to waste but only a few times a week.
