Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel – Luxury Gentle Hydrating Face Cleanser – Removes Impurities & Excess Oil While Supporting Skin Barrier – Soothing & Non-Drying Formula

Simply the best. Cleared my face in days

This face gel is great for cleaning off my face. The liquid is just the right thickness. The cleanser suds up nicely. I really felt clean. The container is a good size. Very reasonable.

Rated 4.5/5Augustine Bader is a great brand, and I love their Cream and Retinol. This cleanser is equally well made, has great ingredients, and works well with my skin.When I apply it to my wet face, it actually feels like a lotion..so much so that I had to do a double check that I grabbed the right bottle. But it is indeed the cleanser that feels so smooth and creamy spreading over the skin.This doesn’t foam up much, but once you wash it off, you can feel that your skin was cleansed. Although my skin doesn’t feel dried out, it feels slightly stripped—or perhaps a better way of putting it is thoroughly cleansed. I was somewhat surprised by this, because I assumed that being “The Cream Cleanser” meant that it would be more hydrating. The description on the website says, “Removes dirt, impurities, and makeup without stripping or drying the skin, for a clear, revitalized complexion”. I definitely agree with the removal of dirt and impurities, and I’ve used it to remove lingering makeup and as a double cleanser after a balm. For all of those things, this works wonderfully. Likewise though, just as it easily removes balms, I find that when I don’t have any on, it slightly strips my skin.I have combination skin, so for the T zone, this cleanser is wonderful, but I’m concerned about the other part of my skin that is dry naturally. Will this overtime lead to more dryness? I don’t know, and I hope not. Thus far, it hasn’t seemed to make it worse. So, that makes me question whether this is really stripping my skin, or if it’s just cleaning it so well, it makes me think it is.In any case, my skin seems to like the product, so I plan to keep using it for now. I will update this review if I find that over time it does dry out my skin or if I have any other issues.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Met all expectations

Very nice - gives your face a deep clean but does not strip the moisture from your face .It is a little pricey. Not always but this is a nice buy .

This produce works. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, 2x a day and see noticeable fading. Will continue to use and expect even more results.

Okay so I was contemplating purchasing this cleanser because of the price tag, however, I’m glad I did. I was already using the riche cream at night and the regular cream during the day. I switched my whole skincare line because the products I was using had some ingredients I no longer wanted to be exposed to (download the Yuka app to check all of your beauty products).I thought I could get away with using a cheaper cleanser but it left my skin feeling dry, even with using the riche cream. I decided to invest in this whole line of products and I’m so glad I did!

Update: This went rancid pretty quickly, smelling of old crayons, within a month of receiving it. Had to throw it out. Definitely not worth the $75 price.This cleanser is not at all heavy, and although it says it 'foams', I didn't really find this to be the case. It does get a little foamy, but at a level where I suppose you're not going to strip your skin of needed moisture. It's very light, rinses easily, and does take off makeup and clean your skin.I splash my face with water, then apply this cleanser, and rinse. Then, I use a damp make up removing cloth to dry my skin, and no traces of makeup are on the cloth. If you have ever used one of these, you'd know that if there was any makeup left on your skin, it would lift it off. So, this is a very effective cleanser, but leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I haven't needed to use additional moisturizer after using it. (For reference, it's summer and warm, and my skin tends on the dry side, and I'm in my 50s.
