Antipodes Juliet Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser

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 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 love this cleanser, it smells divine and and does not leave my skin squeaky after using it. I would recommend this cleanser to anybody.

I am working my way through my second bottle of this cleanser. You don't need much, it is a brilliant cleanser which is gentle but thorough. You don't end up with your skin feeling tight and dry at the end of the process. The packaging is good, the plastic bottle makes it easy to get all the product out. It lasts for ages and is good value.

This cleanser is gorgeous - it cleanses my skin without giving that dry and tight feeling. I use it in the evening after taking off my makeup. The smell is really refreshing. It lathers up nicely but not excessively.

It may seem expensive ($39 at Farmers when I bought it) but you only need a little bit and it lasts for ages. Definitely going to repurchase this!

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.

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 have used this on and off for years. I love it. smells amazing, lasts a surprisingly long time and does a great job at removing makeup and cleansing my sensitive skin. Skin feels clean and soft afterwards and not dry at all. I do find it a bit pricey at $39 for a cleanser which is why I don't use it all of the time, but i always find it lasts very well as it is 200ml and a little goes a long way

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 :)

When it comes to skincare, the price is something that rarely effects my decision to purchase or not to purchase a product. Antipodes Juliet Cleanser is divine to say the least. It has such a lovely smell to it and that's a bonus in itself as there is nothing worse than products with a not so pleasant smell.

At first I was confused about it being in a squeezey type bottle but soon appreciated it as it was a great way of controlling how much product you use at a time.

A little definitely goes a long way, meaning that it will last for a long time because you don't need to use as much therefore it is worth the money you pay for it! It's lathers up so nicely in your hands and is gentle yet very thorough in getting rid of makeup etc.

After using it, it leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and clean. This is definitely a product I will continue to purchase and has made me excited to try more products from the Antipodes range
