Antipodes Juliet Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser

I LOOOOVE Antipodes products so I am very sad to find that I my skin did not like this cleanser! It smelt wonderful and felt nice on my skin but after I'd finished washing it off my face was bright red, and stayed that way for the next 30-60mins :( So so disappointed. So be very careful if you have sensitive skin. If you don't have sensitive skin, this will probably be a really lovely product for you :)

This cleanser have a really nice consistency and foams up easily. The smell is quite fresh and nature-ish as is expected with antipodes skin are. I didn't really notice my skin looking much brighter than usual. The screw top bottle was a bit fiddly in the shower but the cap inside helped to make sure only a little bit of product comes out at once.

This looked like such a wonderful product and I was so excited to use it. However after using it my skin was really red for around about an hour, and no make up could cover it. If you have sensitive skin I would recommend you be careful when using this product

I started using the Juliet Cleanser when I used it while staying at a friends house. Suffice to say, I went out and bought a bottle the very next day. One of the best things about this cleanser, is it actually removes make-up! When I wash my face at night, I don't get any excess make up on my face-cloth. My skin has cleared up while using it and after 2 years, would not use anything else.

I was looking for a product that was more calming on my skin as it is quiet sensitive so brought the Juliet Gel Cleanser on recommendation from friends. After 7 days of washing 2x daily I noticed a more even skin complexion and that my darkening under eyes had nearly disappeared! The gel smells lovely and foams lightly with a little moisture added so alot goes along way. I do find that my skin is dry after washing so have selected a heavier moisturizer to use while also only now washing my face 1x daily which it has responded well to. Really happy with the results and love that the packing is recyclable.

This cleanser is a good mild one. I use it in the morning and it smells delicious. The consistency does seem to vary, I believe due to the manuka honey. I am unsure if I would buy it again simply due to its price point.

I love the concept behind Antipodes products - natural New Zealand products, but unfortunately the Antipodes Juliet Skin Brightening Gel Cleanser did nothing special for my skin.

The slightly runny gel formula comes in a large 200ml squeezable bottle which is easy to use and good value for money. It smells fruity and fresh but the smell doesn't linger on to your face after you wash it off.

The cleanser, on my skin which is on the drier side, make my skin slightly drier after use which is not ideal, and also after using it for 3 months I did not see a difference in the brightness of my skin. The reason why I stopped using the product is that whilst I was about 2 and a half months into using it, my skin became irritated (not sure what it was from) and I developed small raised bumps (not acne) on my cheeks and the cleanser didn't do much to settle them. I was forced to move on to a different product (Clarins daily energiser cleansing gel) which managed to get rid of them! I am so disappointed that I didn't love this product more as I love Antipodes! However, I would recommend the product to those with normal, problem free skin wanting a good, basic New Zealand cleanser.

This is probably one of the more expensive products I have tried, but I guess you get what you pay for, because it's great! I have very problematic skin, very oily and with adult acne, but since using this, it has improved hugely. You don't need a lot to get good coverage, so it will last a reasonable time. It's lovely to buy NZ made, too. The scent is nice and fresh, but gentle -it doesn't have that awful chemical smell other face cleansers have. And unlike other cleansers, it won't bleach your towels! I highly recommend this effective but gentle product.

I purchased this cleanser after reading the good reviews on here and I'm not disappointed. I have melasma patches on my face and am trying everything to lighten them. I've been using a combination of this cleanser and a trilogy dark spot corrector and I've seen improvements! The cleanser has a unique fragrance, pleasant and natural and good gel like consistency. I love the bottle also- I can easily squeeze out as little as Iike. I'm not finding my skin is over dried and it's been exeptionally clear- will buy again.
