After hearing so much about Soap & Glory, i knew i had to get my hands on some, and luckily for me i just happened to see this brand at Postie, so i impulsively grabbed what i could and rushed home.
I have to admit, this cleanser does have not the cute packaging the other Soap & Glory items have. Instead it comes in a soft, see through, plastic squeeze tube. I must have got a smaller size because mine did not come in a bottle.
Because the packaging is see through, you can see this cleanser looks like a light green gel which is flecked with bright pink little exfoliating particles, and the product is true to that because when you squeeze it out, it is a thin gel in consistency. I find this smell of this really good, its fresh, and invigorating.. although i do think its smells a little masculine! Still smells good though.
You only need a little of the product to cleanse you entire face, and the exfoliating particles are really gentle, but i personally found they didn't really do a whole lot, and this product would not replace the exfoliating step from my skin care routine. But i have to say, it did not dry my skin out at all which is rare.
This cleanser felt like a tic tac for your face, it leaves your face almost with that minty fresh feeling and i love that. A huge downside to this product is the fact that it uses micro beads, which have huge negative affect on the environment and something I don't support, so for that reason alone i would not buy this cleanser again, even though it is a nice cleanser.
I used to be anti washing my face in the morning but then I got this facial wash and seeing that I am addicted to cleansing my face with oil at night, popped it into the shower to use in the morning.
Design: Coming in a large plastic bottle, see through so that you can see the liquid inside and know where you are in terms of how much you have left before re-purchasing (and I have just repurchased another full size - addictive) Inside the aqua teal coloured liquid has a slightly thick consistency that sees it more as a light gel, studded with pink microbeads. It has a light, subtle fragrance of freshness with no overpowering scent to dominate you.
I apply this in the morning whilst I am waiting on my conditioner to sink into my hair. Giving my face a nice working with my fingertips at the same time sees the gel texture take on a slight foam but nothing that will see you smothered in it's lather. Once rinsed off my face feels so clean and soft that I want to touch it all the time. After just a week of adding this to my skincare I noticed that my pores were reduced, my skin seemed to glow and it was just very hydrated and supple. It seemed to act like a detox to the skin cells.
