I decided to buy this Paula's Choice facial cleanser, and am very happy I did.First off, I'm really happy about the way this product arrived. It was sealed on the outside, which is really important to me when dealing with skincare products. There was no leaking or issues with the bottle, which I also appreciate.As for the cleanser itself, this is a gentle yet effective one. Its clear in color, and lathers nicely. It does a great job at removing oil, residues and makeup from my skin-without making my skin feel too dry.There's not much of any fragrance to this product, which may be of some importance to some people. My skin feels refreshed, and the feeling lasts several hours.I like that this cleanser is gentle enough for my combination skin; I have dry areas of my skin, plus some areas that get a little oily. Additionally, I have some areas that have enlarged pores or are prone to breakouts. This cleanser has helped with those issues, while still helpful at moisturizing my dry areas.It's an excellent cleanser that does exactly what I hoped it would, and I've only been using this for a few days now. I love the results I've seen thus far, and am continuing to use this cleanser every day. I like that a little goes a long way, and the price seems reasonable to me. I would recommend this product to others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing foam! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 19, 2026* Ive been use this for a few years now, not harsh, cleans amazing, feels great. My skin looks really good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Cleanser For 4+ Years 🤩🤩 *by on Reviewed in the United States May 28, 2026* I’ve been using this cleanser for about 4+ years now and keep coming back to it. I have really sensitive skin, so I have to be careful with what I use, but this one leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh without drying it out. It’s gentle, hydrating, and still does a great job getting all the dirt and makeup off. Plus, there’s basically no smell, which I love. I use this twice a day, every day, and probably use more than I’m supposed to. Even then, one bottle still lasts me about a month. ## Frequently Bought Together - Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser, Salicylic Acid Acne Face Wash for Large Pores, Redness & Blackheads - Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant-Facial Exfoliant for Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles & Fine Lines and Suitable for Blackhead-Prone Skin - Paula's Choice SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Face Toner for Combination and Oily Skin, Minimizes Large Pores, Controls Oil & Shine, Hydrates & Replenishes, Suitable for Acne-Prone Skin --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/42301220-step-1-pore-normalizing-gel-cleanser](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/42301220-step-1-pore-normalizing-gel-cleanser) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
