    Not sure if this is the right place to make the comment, but here goes.
    I trialled the gentle cleanser and can only say I was pleasantly surprised at its effective cleaning without feeling dry or oily afterwards. Some cleansers don’t seem to clean when they are ‘gentle’ but this one was lovely. My skin felt silky afterwards.
    I have use other QV products and would happily recommend any of them.

    • Kim says:

      I tried this product with excellent results. It is light and non-greasy and great for my sensitive skin. I would definitely recommend it.

  • Chris says:

    Very gentle and effective product. Perfect for compromised skin.

  • Peita Binmore says:

    I really enjoyed using this Cleanser. It soaped up very frothy when I mixed it on my face and rinsed off well. It left my skin feeling soft but really nicely moisturised and not too oily. I usually come up in a slight rash after using new products however this left my skin clear and bright with no problems! I really like it!

  • Novi says:

    This is a really good product. My skin is really dry, especially during winter. Before I tried this product, I had to use toner and moisturizer right after I wash my face. But, with QV face gentle cleanser, I don’t have to. My face doesn’t feel dry and tight after I washed it.

  • Kathy Mason says:

    I think this cleanser is terrific, it made my face feel really refreshed. Would recommend it to anyone.

  • Karen says:

    It lathers just enough to leave your skin feeling cleansed, which is really nice. A thicker consistency would be good as too much of it comes out of the bottle when you’re trying to squeeze out a small amount. But the product definately works and doesn’t dry out your skin.

  • MARIE says:

    I found the cleanser to be very smooth and moisturising, I have very dry skin and my hands in particular are washed very frequently due to my job and this prevented skin breakdown. I found my face and neck did not dry out, it was very comfortble to use. Thank you for giving me the oportunity to try it.

  • Noela says:

    I’m a new member of QV Test Drive team. And I’ve been trialling the QV Face Gentle Cleanser for a week now. I love this product being soap -free it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and gently cleansed it without drying it out leaving it moisturised and feeling soft.

  • Melissa says:

    I love this cleanser! A lot of other cleansers I use leave my dry skin feeling tight and stripped. The QV Gentle cleanser has a light foaming lather which feels lovely on my skin and left my skin feeling clean and hydrated. My skin is prone to senstivities and I didn’t encounter any adverse reactions at all! I love the 250ml size of the cleanser! I feel like it’s going to take me forever to use making it excellent value for money. Will certainly continue to use this in the future. Highly recommend ♥♥♥

  • Romy says:

    The cleanser was quite gentle and didn’t leave my skin dry like some of the other products I have tried in the past that were recommended for young people. I will be definitely telling my friends to try out this product :)

  • Karen says:

    I have only used this product for a few days and must admit I didnt think it would leave my skin feeling clean…but it did! I didnt have the ‘tight’ feeling while/after using it which I am accustomed to with my previous gentle face wash. I still need to apply moisturiser afterwards, unlike a previous comment, but could be the wintery weather and dry heaters. Keen to try this product during summer when my skin is notoriously oily.

  • Melina says:

    I loved the way the product lathered. Afterwards my skin felt clean, fresh and soft.

  • Penne says:

    Fantastic product, very gentle and highly recommend it

  • ingrid says:

    Was surprised at how effective a soap free cleanser could be. My skin feels clean, soft and nourished after cleansing.. not tight and dry like with usual cleansers. And effectively removes makeup too :)

  • Sandra says:

    I tried the cleanser and I wasn’t sure what to expect but pleasantly surprised. Not only was it easy to use but it left my skin feeling very cleansed, smooth and moisturised. I love the fact I can use it in the shower.

  • Rayanne says:

    Am very happy with the results of this product. It is gentle on my skin therefore did not cause the redness of other cleansers. Would highly recommend it to others…Thank you!

  • kim says:

    I love it, my daughter who has ecezma has used it and it is just like magic on her skin.

  • Raelene graham says:

    Really found this product very effective,left my skin feeling clean and light,I would definitely recommend it.

  • melanie w says:

    well i have used this product for a week now and i am indeed pleasantly suprised the face wash left my skin felling clean, soft and not at all striped of moisture very effective and a generous size bottle this one could be making its way into my daily routine.

  • Leanne says:

    I recently trialled the QV face cleanser and was really suprised with the results,it left my face feeling moisturised and soft, and very clean feeling.This is definetly a product that I will continue to use.

  • Rebecca says:

    There is only a small amount required as this product lathers up very well. Very similar in consistancy to QV Body Lotion. I agree with Karen who suggested a thicker consistancy.

    It feels fabulous on my face. It gives a thorough clean without resulting in a ’squeaky clean’ face. This is a product I will continue to enjoy using daily.

  • Callie says:

    I trialled the QV Face Gentle Cleanser and absolutely loved it! I have very sensitive skin and cleansers that I have used in the past left my skin feeling tight and irritated but not this cleanser. After using QV Face Gentle Cleanser my skin felt smooth, fresh and revitalised. I would recommend this product to anyone and will continue using it.

  • Janelle says:

    I trialled the QV Face Gentle Cleanser and really loved it both my mother and I used it and were so surprised at how gentle it was on our face. Usually I find I get irritated by other creams and lotions but QV was as promised all natural. Will certainly be recommending it to my friends and family thanks for the opportunity

  • Leeann says:

    I trialed the QV Face Gentle Cleanser and can’t recommend it enough.It’s not drying or greasy like others i’ve tried.I love it and will buy it for the rest of the family.

  • melissa says:

    overall, I thought the cleanser was OK but also thought it was a bit too runny. it felt nice on my skin though and i will continue to use it. i have also told my 13 year old daughter to use it. she has acne and it seems to be working well for her.

  • Natalie says:

    Very gentle and soft to use, with a milky, lotiony texture. I ended up using it as an all over body wash and it worked great.

  • Alison says:

    I really liked the way the product cleansed my skin, without leaving it feeling dry or oily. Some products leave a film of oiliness on your skin; this product didn’t. I would definitely use this product again. My overall skin appearance was improved.

  • Simone says:

    A lovely light gentle cleanser that didnt dry my skin out or react with my very sensative skin it actually left my skin feeling soft and clean. I will definetly keep using this product. Thankyou QV

  • Tatum says:

    Fantastic Product. My daughter has very sensitive skin, and very bad excema. It was great to find a product that did not make her skin worse. Her skin felt smoother and looked alot better from using it daily.

    I usually don’t wash my face with soap products, as I also break out in a rash, I tried this on my face, and to my amazement no rash.

    Went and purchased another one, as it was perfect for both me and my daughter. Very happy.

  • Liz says:

    A soft cleanser, certainly one of the best I have used. It left my skin feeling lovely and not dry or oily. I would’ve liked it to foam a little bit more though.

  • Mel says:

    This was a very pleasant surprise – I’ve struggled for a years with an eczema type rash under my bra line, if only I had known sooner, something as simple as this would relieve the discomfort and it even reduced the visibility of what I thought was scarring from the rash. Thanks QV!

  • Candi says:

    I personally didn’t like it.

    I prefer a bit of a scrub mixed in with my face cleansers to remove dry, dead skin, & stimulate the nerves.

    This cleanser wasn’t as effective as I had hoped for my skin.

    I gave it to my grandmother however, who liked it a lot!

    Everyone’s an individual!

  • Kylie says:

    My dermatologist recommended QV and I like the products overall (especially the value for money!!), however I would like this cleanser to be just a little bit more exfoliating.

  • Jacoba Evans says:

    I trialled the QV Wash. At last I have found a product that doesnt irritate my sensitive skin. Even used a little on my face. No probs at all. Thank you so much. Gentle but effective cleansing. A wonderful product for me and safe to use for the whole family. Yippee!!!

  • HB says:

    I have pretty good skin, it’s sensitive skin and usually a non paraben free product my skin would get use to and react in small red dots all over my cheeks taking a while to get back to normal. so far so good with QV and it’s smooth, and the best bit you only need a tiny bit to wash my face. Making it more for your $$.

    Highly recommend it!!

  • Larabelle says:

    Thanks a million for my trial bottle of QV Intensive Moisturising Cleanser. I have to admit that I have pretty good skin and that I tend not to worry too much about what products i use. I must say, however, that above all, that QV does feel and smell natural. I don’t feel I’m applying chemicals to my body like with many other skincare products. It’s good value for money and I am happy to use on my young children.

  • Cushla says:

    I have dry ” mature” skin and I loved this product , my skin has never felt better and have been receiving lots of compliments saying how healthy I look .Someone even asked if I had been on holidays?
    Feel my skin is looking younger because it is softer.
    Thanks I look forward to trying all the range.

  • christine says:

    i liked the clean feeling it left and the non dying affect but i like to use a scrub or something similar and would have preferred that with this quality product..i really liked that there is no soap so it is good for my very sensitive skin and would recommend it to my friends…thanks for the opportunity in trying this product …very grateful

  • Christine says:

    I think QV is soft and gentle on the face.

  • Jo Cooper says:

    I loved this cleanser, my skin feels soft and pampered. I am receiving compliments all the time about my skin.

  • Sylvia says:

    I tried the U.V.gentle face cleanser and really liked it. It left my skin feeling soft and much less dry. Thank you for the opportunity to test it.

  • Kathrin says:

    I really enjoyed this cleanser. I was a little skeptical at first as I really prefer a foaming cleanser as others tend to leave my skin feeling heavy. This was not the case with the QV Cleanser though.
    It really revived my skin and left it feeling quite smooth. As someone with sensitive skin, I would definitley recommend this to others.

  • Lizz says:

    Love the milky feel. Great for dry skin as it left mine feeling soft and refreshed. Would love if it also had an exfoliater perhaps mixed in.

  • Carolyn says:

    I recently tried the cleanser & thought it was fabulous, because it left my skin feeling softer & looking younger.

  • Linda says:

    I love the fact that it can take off makeup and gently wash my face at the same time!. Definite re-buy and will recommend!

    <3 QV

  • Cat says:

    I’ve used this product and although my skin feels quite clean afterwards, i found that it did dry my skin. Definitely needed to moisturise afterwards.
    Great that there is no strong smells!

  • Sanjalini says:

    I love this product. My skill feels so smooth. I would definitley recommend this to others. Thanks for trial.

  • Sanjalini says:

    I love this product. My skin feels so smooth. I would definitley recommend this to others. Thanks for trial.

  • Fiona says:

    Love this cleanser. At last a cleanser that cleans without drying out my skin and doesn’t leave an oily residue either. And won’t cost a fortune either. Will keep using this product.

  • kerri says:

    When I first received the QV face gentle cleaner to try, I thought, ‘yeah whatever, I need something that that will scrub away all the stuff on my face, I’II just give it ago and then go back to my normal routine’, . I usually use face scrub, I found that so far that was the only thing that left my face feeling clean. Half way through using QV Gentle Face Cleaner, for the first time, I was hooked!, it worked and didn’t stress my skin and it felt beautiful clean. Only problem is my daughter found it and is hooked also, solutions I now buy the 500ml pump pack.

  • I trialled the gentle cleanser, and its truely very smooth. My skin is now better than ever. Highly recommend.Egarly waiting to apply QV Hair products.Thank you.

  • Chris says:

    Liked the product left skin feeling clean, although a little tight

  • Sami says:

    I really enjoyed trialling this product. I have found that it removes my makeup better then the previous cleanser I have been using and it does not make my skin feel dry and tight after I cleanse. I find that many of the products I’ve used irritate my skin but the QV Gentle Face Cleanser left my skin feeling very smooth and soft without any problems. I’d recommend it to anyone!

  • Linda says:

    Great face wash. Gentle on the skin. Leaves it feeling soft and smooth.

  • Susan says:

    My face feels softer ad smoother after using this cleanser as it has the added bonus of moisturising at the same time. Very effective and quick results. I noticed an improvement in my skins appearance within the first week of using this product.My skin feels softer and fresh. I love it !

  • Susan says:

    This product is excellent. It cleans and moisturises at the same time. I noticed improvements within the first week of using it .My skin feels cleaner and softer. I love it and will continue to use it now.

  • Tracey S says:

    Thanks for the opportunity to trial this product. It seems to cleanse well, even when make up has been applied. I wish it were a bit thicker in consistency so not so much would come out of the bottle to minimize wastage. I personally find the bottle a bit large and bulky too. I have a neutral feeling about it’s fragrance. Thanks again for requesting my feedback.

  • Jessica says:

    The product is nice to use and is very gentle on the skin; it is also quite effective in removing makeup. My only issue is the use of parabens and sulfates in the ingredients.

  • joanne says:

    I found this cleanser to be very gentle, refreshing and would definitely recommend it.

  • Marisha says:

    I loved the trial bottle of the skin cleanser. It was fantastic and made my skin feel so fresh.
    Many thanks

    Thanks for the trial bottle. I loved the product, it is great for sensitive skin.

  • Michelle says:

    I trialed this cleanser and it was brilliant, it got all the dirt out of my skin and left it feeling really soft. I felt as if my skin looked fresher and brighter and it was really easy to use, rinsed off really well too. Will continue to use this product, thank you for the trial.

  • Libby says:

    This is a great cleanser. Gentle on the skin and not greasy. Doesn’t leave skin feeling dry like a lot of other cleaners. Will defiantly keep using. Thanks for the trial.
