I have been using this for about a fortnight and I'm really pleased. It's hefty enough to remove all my makeup but gentle enough to take off my mascara with as well. It's an odd, thickish brown gel but it smells delightful (like apples) and it actually lathers up fairly well despite no sls, so it's a lot gentler than a lot of products. Because the gel is quite thick, and it has a weird, squeezy end, it comes out only a little at a time so there's no wastage. My skin feels great when I massage it in, really clean, smooth and soft. I do find it ever so slightly more drying than my last cleanser, but I am very dehydration prone, and that only happens if I leave it with out toner or moisturiser for a while. The very (and I mean VERY!) slight dehydrated feeling is the only reason I didn't give this 100%. It's gentle, silky, thorough and economical, and it hasn't made me breakout, which is rare!! I'm very happy with this cleanser, good chance I'll be continuing with it. Now to try the toner!

Reviews
Tips: Teeeny bit. Its really concentrated. It lathers up well when your face/hands are nice and wet.
This stuff is seriously the bee's metaphorical knees. It smells divine, lathers up well and cleanses wonderfully. I haven't had any physical brightening effects yet, but the minute I open the bottle and the fruity scent hits me I'm instantly in a better mood. I love it for when I have scrubbed all the make up off my face with remover, and need to cleanse to get all the oily residue off - the gentle suds effectively get the residue off as well as lightly moisturising my skin. It doesn't leave skin feeling too tight, and I find I need to use much less moisturiser after washing my face with Juliet - for me most cleansers require a fair dollop of the stuff, but I use considerably less after this one. A perfect end-of-a-long-day cleanser, leaving you in as much of a blissful state as a cleanser could.
Tips: I find I get the most out of Juliet by using a konjac fibre sponge instead of my regular sea sponge, as the fibres help exfoliate and restore moisture to the skin even when used on it's own, and that effect is increased 5x with this cleanser.
I like the scent of these cleanser and it does a great job of cleansing excess oil and face makeup off my skin without drying it out. My face feels fresh and clean after washing it with this. I think it would be an excellent product for normal to oily skin. However I don't think it's brightened or lightened my complexion. It's nice and natural and gentle so I'll continue using it and buy it if it's on special.
Tips: Although it's a soapy cleanser it's gentle so it's good for double cleansing. I use it to wash off thick heavy sunscreen or anytime my face is oily. Unless there's a special somewhere I would recommend you buy it off Healthpost as it's cheaper than Farmers and other stores.
I love this product for it's natural ingredients but listed among them is kiwi fruit which my skin is allergic to. Every time I use it I'm wary of any tingle, and though there are a few little tingles, no bad reaction. This product is a decent size but a little pricey for me. However you only need to use a tiny bit at a time so it does last a while. This cleanser has an amazing fruity smell and a silky soft lather. It feel quite gentle and soothing. After using it my skin feels soft and fresh and I can't help but think my skin looks brighter as well. Always puts me in a decidedly good mood.
I love this product. I was looking for a new cleanser and wanted something that was "natural"; not too many artificial chemicals, that was still an effective cleanser while being kind to ageing skin. This cleanser has lovely fragrance, has a light, soft texture when it lathers up and leaves my skin feeling fresh without feeling tight. I've used this for nearly a year and will keep on with it. Nice stuff.
I love this cleanser, it smells divine and and does not leave my skin squeaky after using it. I would recommend this cleanser to anybody.
