This gel cleanser is exactly that! A thick, clear gel, that lathers well, and leaves your skin feeling clean.
I wear a full face of makeup daily, and usually double cleanse but I've found I can cleanse once with this gel and a washcloth, and remove all makeup bar my mascara (Eye of Horus - it sticks well!)
I didn't experience any irritation which I was relieved at, its always worrying trying new products, my skin can become inflamed and sore.
I think this is a great cleanser, and it definitely fills my needs. It'd be perfect for a teenager, as I don't think its too harsh, but it is combative against oil and acne.
I have reviewed quite a few face washes in my time and to be honest this has been the best one I have used in quite a long time! First off, I'm an oily individual - my face creates quite a bit of oil and by the end of the day the amount of oil that appears on the surface of my face - you could use it to do some cooking. It's pretty gross. I have noticed that since using this face wash (and the moisturiser that goes along with it) my face is not creating much oil at all. My make up by the end of the day has stayed on as well...definitely an added bonus.
In terms of the face wash itself, a little goes a long way. I am using the tiniest bit of product and it foams up quite a bit. It's a little bit drying but to be honest I feel that this is beneficial as it helps control the natural oils on your skin. There is a slight scent, hard to describe. It's not overpowering, it sort of has a "clean" smell to it. Not chemically, just an average facial cleaner smell I guess. Because you don't need much I can see this is going to last a rather long time. In the past couple of weeks I haven't even used a quarter of it - and I've been using it two times a day.
Will I use it again? Heck yeah! It ticks all the boxes to be a standout facial cleanser that has definitely made its way into my beauty routine. I will be using it again for sure!!!!
Tips: Don't need much product at all to clean your face
