The packaging is nice and the pump bottle is a good size however the first time i used it i used way too much of it, despite only pushing the pump down once. I enjoyed the subtle fresh scent and it was super easy to foam and made my skin feel clean. Now I don’t tend to use SLS based cleansers anymore, and although it foamed up well and contained aloe and hyaluronic acid, it left my skin feeling dry. I didn’t wait very long before moisturising so I can’t imagine how much drier it would feel if i had left it more than a minute before the moisturiser. This product is just ok; it would have been right up my alley when I was younger, when my skin was hardier and I was on a budget.

Tips: One full pump is probably too much product to clean your face, half pump is sufficient
I like the smell of this product, a clean botanical smell, very pleasant. A little goes a long way, I found it lathered up very well. It made my skin feel a bit dry after using, and didnt really blow me away. But it’s a good basic cleanser, and because you only need a little amount of product it makes it good value.
Tips: Wet your face first, and lather the product in hands before applying to face. I also found it was really good when added to my facial brush, it felt like a better deeper clean using it this way.
Packaging is nice, easy to use pump bottle style which I like. Product is nice, smells lovely and fresh, gentle on the skin and doesn't strip it the way some cleansers do.
Fairly generic cleanser, does the job like most of them do and don't think anything really stands out here.
I love the idea of hyaluronic acid in more of my day to day products, this one was a bit hit and miss for me. I does come in a handy pump bottle, ½ pump was plenty to do face, neck and decolletage. The smell was one of the biggest put offs, like the other products in this range, it has an astringent aroma which is not pleasant. It reminds me of an Avon Blackhead cleanser I had as a teenager. On application, it foams up like soap. It did clean off my waterproof mascara admirably and didn’t leave me feeling dry and tight, but I also didn’t feel hydrated. I would probably not recommend this for anyone with dry skin, as it would likely dry it out more.
Not a lot of product was needed to be effective. Using the gel-wash removed my makeup, including mascara, and cleansed my face. What I really liked was that it was also very hydrating and didn't strip the skin of moisture as some face washes do. I generally have sensitive skin and using the gel-wash did not cause any irritation or discomfort. It has a subtle clean scent to them that is not overpowering. One drawback was that most of the time the bubbles from the product easily got into my nose and mouth.
This face wash made my face look and feel so refreshed and clean without leaving that tight feeling which I guess is down to the hyaluronic acid and aloe vera in this that doesn’t strip all the moisture out of your skin like some other face wash’s do.
It removed all makeup easily but I didn’t notice my pores looking less visible although that’s not really an issue I have anyway.
The consistency is quite thick so a little goes a long way in this easy pump bottle so it will last a long time so it’s well worth the price tag.
The scent is fresh and not overpowering at all.
A nice face wash that I will continue to use.
I quite liked this. Trying to decide if i'll swap it for my usual face wash! Has a lovely smell, reminds me of the ocean - and I hate going to the beach! Makes my face feel really smooth afterwards, not dry or greasy. Maybe a small reduction in my pore size but hard to tell.
Tips: You don't need a full pump to get a decent lather.
A nice pump bottle that is tall and clear. I found the light gel textured cleanser went a long way. It has a strong fragrance which I got used to after using the cleanser a few times. One pump of gel applied to a wet face was enough to make my face tingle and feel fresh and clean but not dry. I quite liked it and would definitely continue to use this cleanser.
It has a lovely smell. You do not need alot for it to foam up when applying onto your skin. Love the bottle design. I would definitely add this too my skin care routine
I found this gel wash too drying for my skin and the scent a bit strong. I’ve passed it onto my teenagers to give it a try :)
