This is the only facial
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only facial cleanser I’ve used for well over thirty years after a facial with a friend at your salon in NYC. The smell alone makes it worth it but it actually makes my face feel cleaner than any other face wash. I use several other products from Mario Badescu as well and I am 52 years old now but constantly being told I look like I’m 30 with “such great skin”. I am a diehard loyalist with Mario Badescu products!!

Cleanses very well without drying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleanses very well without drying my skin. Leaves no residue. I originally bought an 8 oz bottle but reordered a 16 oz bottle because I am so pleased with my purchase.

MB's Enzyme Cleansing Gel has
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MB's Enzyme Cleansing Gel has been my daily go-to cleanser for over 20 years. If you're old enough to hold this kind of loyalty for a product, you know what I mean. This cleansing gel is gentle, suitable for all skin types, neutral yet fresh in its scent, and effective in keeping skin feeling clean without stripping it of necessary natural oils. I'm a forever fan of MB Enzyme Cleansing Gel and have converted family and friends to its smoothing and hydrating wonders over the decades. This was my "gateway product" to the now 10+ MB products that I enjoy!
