I wouldn't recommend using it near eyes because it is like soap and will sting. Also, it's a tad drying so unless ure young & can risk the skin drying damage near the eyes...not a good idea

I rarely use a separate eye make up remover. This doesn't irritate my eyes and you don't need to rub or use a heavy hand to get the job done.

no

I've been using Purify as a cleanser and eye make up remover. It works great.

I have done this when in a hurry and it takes it off good without drying my eyes but burns if you get it in your eyes. I prefer an eye make up remover myself.

This removes eye make up, but obviously only for your lazy days. You should always use make up remover especially for your eyes

I love this cleanser because it doesn't irritate my eyes. I do use it all over and on the eyes when I wash my face at night. Of course there is a trace of some eye makeup left, but it does a great job at getting most of it.

I have used it to remove eye make-up successfully without any issues. Although I have no eye sensitivities. My non-waterproof eyemake came off easily.

i thinks its great to remove makeup, but may not get out the stubborn mascara and liquid eyeliner.

I did a few times and it was fine. BUT it really does sting if it gets in your eyes.

It does have a very faint floral smell. It doesn't bother me, but I don't really mind light smelling face products.

No, it is not fragrance free. It has a "cotton scent". My skin is very sensitive and I usually can't use face washes with scents but this on does not bother me.

Contains cottonseed oil and coconut and fatty acids. Does have a light soapy type scent so no it is not fragrance free.

It is not oil free and it does say Parfum/Fragrance on the ingredients.

I don't know about oil, but this is scented.

It is not oil-free. It contains Cottonseed Oil.

If you are sensitive to fragrance this is not for you.

Hi! No..it's nor fragrance free. It has a delightful fresh scent...kinda sporty/soapy ...love it.
Dont know if it's oil free, but it does dry out skin so it works for me bcoz I'm very oily.

I don't believe there is any oil in this product because it takes oil out of the skin and leaves it with a more matte feeling. There is a mild fragrance, so it is not fragrance free.

This is definitely NOT fragrance free. It has a very strong, almost perfume-like scent.

I have combination skin too & I love this one. Found it by chance as a sample & have stuck with it for a yr and a half. I won't use anything else now! :-)

This product doesn't say that it's oil-free and it also contains parfume/ fragrance. This is really hard but what you could do is to go into Sephora and ask them to give you a sample of it? I just don' t know if you want to risk it? I would say that this product is great for people with sensitive skin but not for people with overly sensitive skin.

Yes, this is for normal/combination skin.

I have combination skin and I love this. It gives just the right amount of moisturizer without making your skin oily or drying it out

This one seems VERY basic to me. Does just what I want and I have had a hard time finding that. Moisturizing w no tight feeling after so I don't feel like I have to rush the moisturizer after I wash. It is just a good basic cleanser that you don't have to use much of at all.

i have combo skin and more prone to oily during day as well. This works great! no dryness after using.

I have combination skin and this is quite perfect for it. My cheeks don't feel dry afterwards and my forehead is nice and matte.

This would be good for your combination skin. It does not give that tight, drying effect after use, and it's gentle so it would not irritate, either.

It sounds to me like you break out because your skin. although combo to oily, is also dehydrated, which is different from being dry. It means, it needs more moisture, not oil. I had the same problem a while back. The Clarins cleansing milk for combo skin is very rich and soothing, it has moisture and no oil, you can follow it with the toner for combo skin to take the excess off, and then the hydra matte lotion, a moisturizer also for combo skin, which adds moisture and at the same time, controlls the shine in the T-zone. I tried lots of products for the break outs and none worked, my sking would feel dry and still break out, until I found these. With consistent use, now my skin looks and feels normal instead of combo, and there are no breakouts. Good luck.

I have a similar type of skin, with flakies as well, and I would recommend a cleansing oil. Trust me, there are products that are specific oils made for combination or oily skins. They will not make you break out. It sounds like your skin is drying out maybe from products & then trying to overcompensate for the lack of oil & overproducing. It you use gentle products, your skin will not react this way. I like the Shu Uemura (fresh version) or Laura Mercier (light version) cleansing oils. Tacka leap of faith & try one... I think shu offers smaller/trial sizes.

If your skin is more dry than oily, I would get the cleanser, I have both, I use the cleanser during the day, it's also great for everyday use and the orange scrub once or twice a week. The scrub tends to dry my skin especially in the Winter but not so much when it the weather is warmer.

I can't answer this because I never used exfoliating cleanser.

This face wash makes my skin look fresh and bright...but it is a tad drying. So, best you only put a dab on the dry areas and wash only the other areas...

I use the cleanser daily and the exfoliator weekly......the cleanser is wonderful. If you can afford just one, use the cleanser.

idk about the other product you mentioned but this cleanser is very moisturizing without being heavy. I tend to be tight with most products and this seems to just normalize me which nothing ever does lol! Good luck!

I have a combination skin where it gets oily in T-zone and gets dry in the cheeks if i don't moisturize it well. I am a huge clarins fan because I have a really picky sensitive skin and their line always works for me. If you where make up at all then don't use orange exfoliating one as your main cleanser. It has decent cleansing power but it's definitely not enough to take off foundation, sunscreen or mascara. If you can afford it I suggest you buy both and use the exfoliating one for just in the morning or every other day. Foam cleanser is awesome. It gets your face clean (although not enough for waterproof mascara) and gentle.

I have the same problems and I found that the foaming cleanser worked great! No dying to the cheeks and no problem with becoming too oily. I found the extra moisture was what my skin actually needed. Good luck!

I have combination to oily in the T-zone skin. I tried both the orange exfoliating cleanser (which smells really nice) and this gentle foaming cleanser. The gentle foaming cleanser helped dramatically reduce my pores, clear up blemishes, and make my skin more radiant (it made the blemish marks disappear faster, even without salicylic acid or any treatment... in fact, I only use the gentle foaming cleanser, the green clarins toner, and a moisturizer now!). I tried briefly switching back to the orange exfoliating cleanser just to make sure that I was making the right choice -- absolutely... the orange cleanser was too rough on my skin, and caused more oil production during the daytime, and more breakouts. If you have problem skin, I strongly recommend the gentle foaming cleanser.

My skin is combination to oily on the T-zone too, and normal on the cheeks. This cleanser has worked for me so far in the mornings, the T-zone doesn't get as shiny or oily during the day. But I emphasize the T-zone when I cleanse and use mosturizer after, otherwise the cheeks feel a bit tight. I prefer this cleanser to the orange one for everyday use, the orange one is grainy and more rough on the skin. In the evenings I use cleansing milk and toner to take makeup off, its creamier and mosturizing and balances out the morning cleanser. I would stay away form the heavy hydra-something cream for dry skin; but they have a hydra-something mask which works wonders on combination to oily skin. Good luck.

This cleanser made my eyes sting so no I would not use it on my eyes. It is high foam and removes oil so I bet it would remove eye makeup but I would close my eyes super tight if you do use it as it does sting.

I believe it will work, it has taken off my foundation and eyeliner.

I don't know because I always use cleansing oil before cleanser.

I would not recommend using this to remove makeup because if it gets in your eyes it really stings. It can still get into your eyes even if they are closed. I was using it to wash my face and somehow it got in in the very corner of my eye and it hurt and my eyes stung for about an hour.

Yes..it will remove face makeup but I wouldn't recommend it as an eye make up remover! For that - try clinique take the day off ...it's the best! Also a lancome one...forgot the name

A little goes a long way in lather for this cleanser. I would recommend using an amount the size of a pencil eraser to start, add a bit of water and lather in your hands. Wash your eye area, rinse and repeat. This should take off eye makeup. A third lather and rinse may be necessary depending on how much eye makeup you are wearing.

I wouldn't use this to remove eye makeup - I tried and was left with stinging, red eyes.

It leaves your face perfectly clean even after wearing foundation. For the evenings out on the town when you wear a lot of make up, you have to use a little scrubbing for your eye make up

Yes......its very foamy and clean.....and when I use the toner afterwards my face feels super clean and soft. It takes off eye make up but doesn't hurt your eyes

I don't know if it is oil free but I felt like this cleanser stipped all the oils from my face. Felt very clean and tight. I think this cleanser is more appropriate for teenagers oily acne prone skin.

I don't know if it has oil or not, but my skin is oily and this one helps me to not break out

It is not oil-free, at least it doesn't say that anywhere on the box.

I don't know.

I am not sure because I don't have the product directly in front of me to look on the label but it sure feels like it doesn't have any oil in it.

yes, only if you apply a tiny amount of it and not leave it on for more than 30 seconds.

My skin is very sensitive, aging combination skin and this cleanser has been great for me in every season.

I have really sensitive skin and I use it every day. I haven't had any issues.

perfect for sensitive skin if you need drying. If you are already dry maybe not so good.

According to the box, it doesn't list any parabens.

I think so.

I find that this cleanser does a great job with mascaras and eye make-up. However, not sure if it will be totally effective on waterproof mascara.

With my experience with the product it doesn't remove makeup well by itself. I would still recommend using makeup remover prior to using the cleanser
