Fab!!!
I have been using this for a couple of months and can see a difference in my skin. I don't get blemishes like I used to and if/when I do get them, they are small and go quickly. My skin doesn't feel tight after using it either, it just feels clean, fresh and soft.

Finally found THE perfect face wash!
After previously using a luxury brand face wash that got discontinued, I've been on the hunt for a replacement! This is top of my 3 new favourites. It has a lovely scent, similar to the brand I previously used but with a subtle ocean twist which I love! You only need small amount of product, as a little goes a long way - pea-sized is good, so around half / quarter pump. Pump dispenser is really good and allows for precision.
It does a great job cleansing my normal bordering sensitive (sometimes with hyper-sensitive outbreaks) skin and found this a joy to use with no tight feeling afterwards, just beautifully cleansed without that harsh 'squeaky clean' feeling. Absolute bargain compared with what I was purchasing and personally found it was better than the one that got discontinued!
I'm in the process of re-assessing my whole skincare regime after finding great products like this one.

Excellent for hard water
Just under two years ago I moved from a soft water area to an area with very hard water. My skin, which is oily and rarely suffers from dryness, reacted badly to this change and I ended up with large dry patches on my cheeks that I could barely improve even using both a facial oil and a moisturiser. I picked this up on a whim because it mentioned it was good for use with hard water and the dry patches have completely cleared up!
I use it on its own in the morning and in combination with an oil based cleanser to remove make up at night. I haven't had any reactions of break outs, which is a miracle with my sensitive and easily congested skin.
The bottle is lasting ages and I use less than one pump to clean my whole face as the gel lathers very easily.
It is scented, but not overwhelming or unpleasant.

Gentle, Clean and Clear
I am a new user to Vichy and after 9 days of using the products I am a user for life! I purchased this to replace a brand that raised it's price. Paraben free,clean, soap free and gentle. Love to also let it stay on my face like a facial. It cleared breakouts I had on my neck and their gone! Soft clean skin ready for serum. Better than my old brand.

Amazing
I have been using a cheaper exfoliant face wash lately and my skin has been dry and bumpy. I have been so unhappy about it. I got Vichy sensitive skin gel face wash, and no joke after my first use my skin looked so much better. After each time using it my skin has improved drastically. This product is truly amazing. Thanks!

Good size
It's expensive but lasts a good while.
I wouldn't call it brilliant, but it does clean my skin and foams up nicely when used with a facial brush.
I'm undecided as to whether I'd buy it again, but I'd reccommend it for those with oily skin as it seems to keep my skin balanced and matte all day.

Why?

I have used it daily to cleanse and it removes even the heaviest of makeup without any effort at all! it has a light pleasant fragrance that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
If you are looking for a hardworking cleanser that is gentle as water,then look no further than Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel

nice and clean
I don't use this for "makeup removal" - as I have another product for that. But I use this after the makeup removal, and it leaves my face so fresh and so clean. It does sting a bit if I use glycolic acid afterwards, but otherwise, it is just fine. I have several bottles of this at every sink in my house - even for the guest rooms. nnFor reference: I have really dry, semi-sensitive skin, and live in a warm dry climate.
