By now we know that cleansing is such a crucial part of a good skincare routine, but different skin types may need different things from their cleanser. Those with dry skin may need that extra dose of nourishment while they cleanse (like our Overachiever Balm Cleanser provides), while those with oilier skin types may need a cleanse that helps balance things out so that their skin is clean without feeling weighed down or totally stripped of moisture. And that’s where our new gel cleanser comes in.

What is a gel cleanser?

As the name suggests, a gel cleanser has a gel texture that gently foams to help clean and remove dirt and oil, and balance skin. And if formulated correctly (like ours is!), won’t leave your skin feeling tight or dry.

Why would I need a gel cleanser?

A gel cleanser is great for those with oily or combination skin, or those looking to treat blackheads, breakouts and congestion. It’s also a great follow-up cleanse after using a balm cleanser to give you that thorough cleanse that will allow the ingredients in your serums to work harder for you.

Like all of our skincare products, we’ve formulated this one to give you the best of everything. A lightweight water-based gel texture, it’s incredibly effective in cleansing, gently exfoliating and balancing oil production, but we’ve loaded it with the right ingredients to ensure that your skin feels soft and supple, and more-than-ready to take on the ingredients in the serums to follow.

So what’s in it that makes it so good? Quite a lot actually (we were very picky about the end result of this one!), but to give you an idea:

• Goji Berry Extract, which helps fight free radical damage, works to promote collagen and elastin production, and reduces hyperpigmentation while leaving skin feeling soft and supported.
• Vitamin E, one of the most powerful antioxidants that also works to deliver long-lasting moisture and skin smoothness, while defending and strengthening skin, and soothing any irritation.
• Passion Flower Extract, which helps soothe, calm and moisturise skin while promoting cell regeneration and preserving collagen and elastin.
• Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid that gently exfoliates the surface of the skin and helps regulate oil production, target congestion, and reduce blackheads.

Simply massage into skin, rinse and follow with serums.
