I find that Paula's cleansers pretty much have "no" smell. What flummoxed me a little when I first started using the normal-to-oily clear "One Step" cleanser was that it didn't suds or foam up at all. I remember thinking: is this really cleaning the makeup off my face? The answer is a resounding yes, but it took some getting used to. Her toners do not tingle, a sensation which some women actually like, but Paula makes a good case that the tingling feeling on your face is actually harmful for your skin.
Paula's body and hair cleanser is great for trips to mosquito-rich destinations, since you're left with no fragranced residue that can attract the blood-sucking devils (or devilettes, since it's the female mozzie that attacks).
