I was really excited about this product because it’s a great brand and I haven’t used a gel cleanser in a while. I always used to use gel cleansers and loved them but have been trying a lot of different kinds recently so it was interesting to go back to gel.
I like the packaging of this product but one comment I would make is that the hole in the tube is super small so only a small amount comes out. I guess that’s a good thing because you don’t use too much but just a preference for me would be for the product to come out easier.
I really liked the feel of this product. It isn’t sticky and still feels substantial on your skin - like it’s actually serving a purpose. My skin felt super clean and also brighter, which is a massive plus for me with super dull skin this time of year.
I will definitely continue using this product, but I probably won’t buy it again in the future because I think I’ve been converted to oil cleansers instead. Overall, though, great product and I didn’t experience any break outs while using it.
One of the first things I noticed was the strong scent which seemed quite artificial. I didn’t really mind it, but I think it might be a deal breaker for a lot of people. I also noticed that it tastes gross… then I wondered do I accidentally eat all of my cleansers in the shower and this one just tastes especially bad?
I like the nice packaging (sucker for packaging), and I did like that it lathers quite well (doesn’t foam excessively), and is easy to wash off. Plus it definitely gets all my make up off in the evenings when I use it in the shower, so it made my face feel super clean. My face didn’t feel dry after using it, but only after I’d used quite a bit of moisturiser. I was a bit worried that because it foams it might be slightly drying, so I preferred just using it once a day. ‘Gentle’ isn’t really a word I’d immediately associate with it, but it didn’t seem to strip my skin or make it flake or peel though, so my concerns were probably unfounded.
I didn’t really see a difference in terms of how much acne I had or the texture or brightness of my skin overall, so that was a bit disappointing as I had high expectations.
It is a decent cleanser and doesn’t really do anything ‘wrong’, but I think I was just expecting more from this product after all of its claims. For the price, there are plenty of other products that work as well if not better. I think I’ll bring this product back out in Summer when my skin’s a little less prone to naturally drying out.
Tips: Start by using once a day, then increase it to twice a day if you feel it's working well for you.
