Do you think this cleanser would be too harsh if you also have sensitive dry areas? Thanks

I have sensitive skin that's dry in winter, oily or combo in summer, and gets dry flaky patches when it's irritated or I'm on some kinds of medications. I found that the Paula's Choice cleansers are too drying for my skin. Although I have and love many PC products, I do not use the PC cleansers. I've found oil cleansers work best for me when my skin is dry, sensitive, OR oily. I've experimented with quite a few and the one I like right now is the Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil. It's fragrance-free, easy to use, available at drugstores, and leave my skin clean  and free of dry patches and irritation.

Thank you Chynna Blue. I've never tried using an oil cleanser before. I always thought that it would make the slightly oil areas even more oily. It's difficult with combo skin to find a cleanser that works. Thanks again for your reply.

I don't use PC cleansers either, but the two lines that are touted as being good for sensitive skin are Skin Recovery (for normal to dry/very dry skin) and Hydralight (for normal, combo, or oily skin)

I'm a huge fan of PC, except for their cleansers. My face just never feels clean. I have dry, sensitive skin that reddens easily. I use Dr. Young's Camilla oil cleanser and Purity Made Simple. Usually Purity in the morning and Dr. Young's at night.

I've used all of PC's cleansers and I don't think any are harsh.  I have very dry skin and all of her cleansers dry out my skin even more.  I can't use them at all.  

Even her moisturizers for very dry skin do nothing for my dry skin.
