Antipodes Juliet Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser

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.

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'm about half way through my bottle of this and I'm so in love with how it makes my skin feel. It's made a huge difference to my skin which is quite prone to pimples - I've definitely noticed less than before i started using it. I love that it is New Zealand made and uses such lovely ingredients.

When I first bought the Juliet cleanser from Antipodes I umm'ed and ahh'ed for a bit as I'd never spent very much on cleansers before and this was slightly pricier than what I was used to, but I got a sample pottle from a Hardy's Health store and fell in love with it.

The first thing I must say about this cleanser is the smell. Oh my god, the smell! It is so delicious smelling, but not perfumy or over-powering at all. It is a sweet, natural, fruity smell and it is absolutely gorgeous.

The texture is like any other gel cleanser - I love how refined and well made this product is despite being natural and wholesome - it's really up there with the usual commercial products.

I suppose the only complaint I could make would be about the packaging. It would be good if the bottle had a pump, but this wasn't a big enough issue to tarnish my experience with the product. You only need a very small amount of the cleanser anyway, so it's possible that a pump may give too much product.

I do believe It lives up to it's claim of being 'skin brightening'; it's certainly not the kind of thing that you use once and all of a sudden your complexion is stunning, but with everyday use it definitely has a brightening effect and makes skin nice and dewy and glowy looking.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality, gently cleanser. It reminds me, I should get some more myself!

I have read lots of reviews here and when I was up for a new cleanser I decided to give this one a try. I am so happy I did.

This gel cleanser is natural and made in New Zealand, awesome. It comes in a 200ml bottle which can be recycled and the price is $40.00.

My evening beauty routine is the favourite time of my day and using this gel makes it even more lovely.

The gel is a light and a bit runny so be careful not too waste any down the drain. You dont need a lot to get an amazing result. Always wet your face first, I have found this way works best for me. In a circular motion massage into your face and wash away the days make up. This gel will leave your face feeling clean and fresh and not dry at all.

The fragrance of this gel is so fresh and apple like

I do have dark spots on the right side of my face ( probably from driving with the sun on that side of my face) so I spend a bit more time massaging there and I have noticed a slight lightening of those spots. I feel with continued use, they could hopefully fade even more.

I used this particular product when I was younger. I found it was great for my younger acne breakout prone skin. Other brands really dried my skin out but this cleanser cleaned away all the dirt ect without striping away all the natural goodness too.
