This has been my holy grail. The scent is minimal and natural, the texture is soft but perfect for melting away makeup. My skin feels completely cleansed afterwards and NOT irritated/dry. For the size as well, you get a HUGE bottle (16oz), so that should last plenty of time if you only use it on your face.
I bought 12 Essential Cleansing Solutions, all I could find online. It gave me time to wait for the research others did and gave my anxiety about testing new products and wasting money a reprieve.
Finally, about a month and a half ago I came across a forum suggestion for this product. I read reviews and looked off Amazon for as much info as I could gather. At $20, it seemed much more reasonable than Dermalogica’s discontinued wash, so I purchased.
My experience using this product: as you can see in the image, the bottle design is identical. Even the size is the same.
The wash is a little more like a slightly watery lotion, whereas Dermalogica is more of a thin paste (maybe more creamy than watery). It really has no discernible scent. It feels comparable to Dermalogica’s product when in use, though because it’s watery I apply to my face before adding warm water to wash.
My face has not turned red or gotten excessively dry from the product. My normally hyper sensitive skin approves. For the moment I continue to use the Calm Water Gel and the Intensive lotion by Dermalogica, but, considering the massive price break with Paula’s, I think I’d be willing to try comparable products to replace Dermalogica’s at this point. To be honest, I feel betrayed by the more expensive brand and I see a lot of similar feelings from others who had invested a lot of time and money into their products.

Im an advanced rosacea patient, been suffering all my life. I have good amount of redness on my cheeks with raised bumps. The wash did not decrease the redness or improve the texture of my skin. It cleanses nicely though and does not dry up the skin. Sometimes i dont even need to apply face cream afterwards.
However, for me, it did react negatively with one of my face lotions. After washing with it, i applied this face cream and 2 hours later my face was super red and slighlty burning. I've never experienced this with any wash or cream before. So maybe the product will not suite every face cream out there.
Overall, it is a good product, lovely packaging.
