Antipodes Juliet Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser

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!

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.

I really like this gel cleanser, it is mild, foams up well and cleanses effectively. I was sceptical about it as it isn't an appealing colour (warm brown) and is quite liquidy compared with other foaming cleansers I have used, but I liked that it is quick to splash off, doesn't leave a residue and doesn't leave my face feeling tight.

I tried the Antipodes Juliet Skin Brightening Gel Cleanser after trying and liking a few other Antipodes products. I was looking for an organic cleanser and decided to give this a go as my gel cleanser.

The gel is a lot more runny than other gel cleansers I have tried, but fortunately I didn't need a lot of product to get a full coverage of my face, so being runny has meant better value for money as the product lasts longer.

Like a lot of organic New Zealand made products it had a clear Manuka Honey smell coming through which always is pleasant and reminds me that it is an organic New Zealand made product. Side note: big points for being both organic and New Zealand made, those are some pretty special aspects right there.

The packaging was practical and I think it can be recycled which is also things I like to see in a product.

I did a side by side comparison of this product and an non organic gel cleanser I had and this one felt so much fresher and softer on the skin. So I would recommend braving the cost and going organic.

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.

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.

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.

After my favourite supermarket cleanser was discontinued, I was looking for something to replace it with and was not having much luck. While having coffee with a friend, I commented on how nice her skin looked…she said she was hooked on Antipodes. I purchased the Juliet Skin Brightening Gel Cleanser from Farmers that afternoon and have been using ever since.

I love the smell, it is nice and refreshing – especially in the morning. At first I did not like the squeeze bottle but as mentioned in another review it is very economical as a little goes a long way and only a small amount comes out at a time. It lathers up surprisingly well, and is fine for a ‘double cleanse’ at the end of the day without being too harsh.

My skin tone has started to improve, and hopefully will continue to do so over the next few weeks.

It is definitely a little bit more then I usually spend on a everyday cleanser, but it seems to be lasting well and because of this will most likely keep using.

Finally a 'natural' product that actually works, with science to back it up, and it is a NZ brand too :)

Unfortunatley, this is not what i wanted it to be. After switching to this cleanser and giving it time for my skin to get used to it, i still cant believe how bad my skin has got. I did all the right things by slowly changing my skin care routine, but after 6 wks or so of using this (prior to using other anitpodes products) my skin is much worse than it was before i started using it. I understand that everyone is different, but im just really not too impressed. I will however say that It smells amazing! And it didnt make my skin any oily-er. The price is good for a natural NZ product and i would say if i had used it till bottle was finished it would have lasted about 3-4months. so again, no smiley face.
