My mum bought this in a massive Antipodes haul one day and as she is already on the drier skin side, it left noticeable dry patches on her face. I have more normal to oily skin so inherited the bottle. Personally I don't think it was worth the money and wouldn't buy myself. I felt that it dried my skin out a bit which is good for my oiler skin but definitely didn't seem to brighten my skin. I'm not a big fan of foaming cleansers but it removed my makeup well which I liked and did leave my skin feeling clean and fresh. I love that it is natural and NZ made but would rather try other products before purchasing this myself.

Tips: Good for oily skin types
I love Antipodes products I really do but after spending around $40 on this cleanser I was expecting something wonderful. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. It has a very runny consistency and I find it stains face cloths brown. It has a beautiful earthy/honey smell but I feel like I had to use a lot to get the "clean feeling". It comes in a handy plastic bottle with push lid so it comes out cleanly but if you're using your hands it tends to seep through and when using it on a face cloth it leaves a brown mark even after washing(albeit very subtle) I personally wouldn't buy this cleanser again as I feel I could get better for the same price. Some may love this cleanser and it does brighten the skin a little but for $35-$40 I expected more
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.
Tips: I reccommend that you ask for a brochure with all of the products listed as each product has specific ingrediants for certain skin types.
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 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 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.
