Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

perfect for damaged skin barrier/sensetive and with redness people. This is the only cleanser i will use when i get super sensetive skin. No other cleansers can fight this one because it is gel and dosent sting the skin!! abit on the pricey side but it works so well totally recommend!!
Didn’t remove makeup (just face makeup not mascara) for cleanse my skin at all and I hated the texture. You could see the makeup or sunscreen or even just my skins daily oil production still clogging my pores after double cleansing, had to cleanse with another face wash after

In general, the texture looks like it is a fine mild cleanser. Yet, I unfortunately broke out from it. My skin (and also personally) doesn't like cetaeryl alcohol, stearic acid and especially not Coco-Glucoside made from coconut oil. I'd recommend the Geek and Gorgeous, Jelly Joker cleanser, instead!
It works fine for me and lasts ages
It's a pretty good cleanser for the price. It's nothing to write home about, but I have no complaints.
Needs to be paired with some sort of cleansing balm in a double cleanse if you have make-up on.
