These came highly recommended to me, so I purchased these and one other package of cloths from another part of the line. These do NOT remove every last bit of make-up as they say they will. I normally take my make-up off as soon as I take out my contacts at the end of the day. Later on in the evening I will then wash my face with my Clarisonic and that is when the make-up truly comes off for good. These cloths leave behind a film of make-up, even if you use two or three clothes, make-up is still left behind. These rarely, if ever, get all of my eye make-up off. I use one or two of these clothes on my entire face and then turn to a make-up remover from Make Up For Ever or Lancome to get the leftover mascara and liner that these cloths always leave behind. Also, I store these in Hefty One-Zips (I do that with all of my cleansing cloths because it keeps them from drying out), so they should be retaining plenty of moisture, but they're some of the driest cleansing/make-up removing cloths I've EVER used. I will not purchase these again.

I'm a big fan of these daily facial cleansing cloths. If you have sensitive skin, don't use these every single day. Once or twice a week is enough. These lather beautifully, rinse out clean, and leave your skin really soft and smooth. They also smell really nice.

I have been using this product for about eight or nine years. I absolutely LOVE it. It is such a clean fragrance. It's not sweet, it's not flowery, it's not musky, it is truly 100% clean notes through and through. Every time I use it someone will say I smell really good. This particular body wash is creamy, lathers beautifully, and is great when you use the body lotion or the body souffle right after, to help build the fragrance. This is 100% unisex. All the women I know love the way it smells and all of the guys I know also love it. It is the ONLY Philosophy body wash that my brother will steal from me when he runs out of whatever "manly" stuff he normally uses. A little of this stuff goes a long way, and I highly recommend getting the 32 ounce bottle that is paired with the same size body lotion and either a body spritz or a bottle of the matching perfume. This is a fragrance that will appeal to all ages.

I have been using this line on and off for almost two years, and I have extremely sensitive combination skin. While I like the orange face wash (which truly smells like oranges or at the very least, orange juice), I don't feel like it did an awful lot for me. In fact, I think it may have been a little too harsh for my skin. The toner is EXCELLENT. Super refreshing, never irritated my skin, and I still use it when my skin needs a pick-me-up or when I feel like my skin needs a quick burst of moisture. The moisturizer is a bit of a conundrum to me. I still use it maybe 3-4 nights a week, but the amount of Retin-A in it is what concerns me. I have had some horrible allergic reactions to higher concentrations of Retin-A, and this moisturizer sometimes seems to have a bit too much, causing my cheeks to turn red. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but I have to wonder how well this particular line has been tested on all different types of skin. The 3 piece system is the only one listed on this site, but I have the 5 piece system which includes a Brightening Eye Cream and a Detoxifying Moisture Mask. The eye cream is superb. I use it almost every single night and it helps me wake up to a much brighter under-eye area. I use it sparingly under the eye, on the sides where you would normally see Crow's feet, and on the brow bone, as well as a tiny bit on my eye lid. I have used only a handful of eye creams in my life, this one is definitely in the top three. The Detoxifying Mask is nice. I use it maybe once a month, but whenever I do, it leaves my skin feeling refreshed, soft, and smooth. As you continue with the auto-delivery of this system, the mask becomes a Moisturizing Mask, which is also nice as well. The stand out products in this kit, for me, are the toner and the eye cream. The masks come in third with the cleanser at the bottom. Is this a system worth trying for yourself? Yes. Is it for everyone? No, and that disturbs me because it is advertised as being for ALL skin types. Maybe that was ok when they did research, development, and testing, but in reality it is most definitely NOT for everyone. If you're curious, try it out for yourself, but if you are not truly satisfied with the results, make sure to cancel any additional shipments to save yourself the hassle. P.S. These bottles are all perfect to travel with. They are all a little over three ounces or less, which is the exact right size to put in your carry-on luggage, making it easy to pull out when you go through security. Also, even with twice daily use, you should still have plenty of product left over at the end of the first kit, which I believe is supposed to last a month. It can easily be stretched to two months, and the larger kit lasts a LOT longer than 90 days.

It took me a long time to locate this product once I decided to purchase it. I'm not sure if that's because it's extremely popular or if very few places choose to carry it. My experience with it was good. I used it twice a day and it definitely helped heal some irritating blemishes that had not responded to any other treatment. However, it did not help reduce the redness or stop me from getting additional breakouts. I did like knowing that it was a natural product, and the smell didn't bother me. I'm really not sure about it being something to use if you have a lot of acne breakouts though. When I did have acne breakouts, my skin responded best to a Murad kit, and the Murad spot treatment has similar ingredients to this, so I was already familiar with that aspect of it. If you are simply looking for a natural treatmnt for the occasional breakout, this is a great pick, but if you are looking for a product to help you with a full face of acne, this is not the product you want to invest in.

I am the one person in my group of friends that is NEVER without sunscreen. I wear it year-round. I do not step out of the house without it on, period. Rain, shine, sleet, snow, this chick is never without sunscreen. I have been using this Tinted Moisturizer for almost a year. It's lightweight, and it REALLY held up in some blistering sun/heat conditions when I was on vacation last July and didn't want to wear a lot of make-up while I was away. I was outdoors 85% of the time, and knew I was ok because SPF 30 gives you that extra bit of protection that SPF 15 just doesn't provide you with any more. A little concealer where needed and then, this product goes on over it. I use this shade in Creme (Fair) and because I am truly one of the palest women you will ever meet, it's actually a shade or three too dark. However, once applied it's not THAT tinted, so I feel comfortable using it. I have combination skin, so I was worried that this product might swing my skin back into the realm of "way too oily", but it didn't. It gave me extra moisture where I needed it, and everywhere else it sort of just normalized my skin. On days when I felt I needed additional coverage I applied either Bare Minerals or Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation right over this, which upped the SPF factor a bit, and always left my skin looking healthy. I highly recommend this product, and because I use it year-round, I know it can stand up to the elements. Use this product with confidence.

This is a really nice product. You can use such a small amount and because it is water activated, a bottle of this will last you a long time. It's easy to travel with, doesn't have an unpleasant smell, and it leaves your skin soft and clean. This is a product I like to use year-round.

This is a good product that I have used on and off for years. I love the fresh, clean smell of it, but in terms of truly deep cleaning my skin, it's not what I need. It's fantastic at getting off stubborn make-up at the end of the day, works well with a Clarisonic brush, etc., but is not my favorite cleanser in the world. In fact, once my 32 ounce bottle is gone, I will not go out of my way to purchase more of this. That being said, it is still a good product, it just doesn't work as well for me as it seems to work for others.

I purchased this product when it first came out. I love Holly Mordini's presentations on how to use every product correctly and she is one of the biggest reasons why I wear make-up in the first place. After several years of using a different concealer I have recently come back to this product. It goes on SO smooth and REALLY covers. The coverage is 100% buildable and one of the easiest concealers to apply. It does so much more than conceal, it really helps your skin achieve that flawless look even before you apply foundation. That's an immense bonus. I wish they'd add a few additional shades to their offerings though because Fair is actually a little too dark for me. However, I highly recommend this product to anyone that needs a quality concealer that will not fail them.

I LOVE the way this smells, but I have not had good results with any of ther WEN products I have used. I have baby fine hair, and lots of it. This product weighs my hair down way too much. I have tried all of them and will occasionally use 1-2 pumps as a leave-in conditioner when my hair is super dry, but on a whole I cannot reccomend this to anyone with fine hair that is expecting this product to perform the way it does in the infommercials or on QVC. It is definitely not a miracle cure all.
