Hard Reset Clarifying Gel Face Cleanser

I wear only in my night routine when I’m going to bed or I put it on top of a lip combo like I have here. Love ittt. Lasts long.

doesn’t dry me out and doesn’t make me oilier than I already get. The smell is different but I don’t mind it!

I have sensitive, combination skin, so I was afraid at first that this cleanser would leave my face dry or tight. I usually use a cream cleanser, though I've used gel cleansers in the past. The words "hard reset" and "clarifying" steeled me for a dried-out result, so I had the serums and moisturizers ready for my post-wash routine. But I was pleasantly surprised- this cleanser is very mild. It doesn't make a big lather and has a fluid-y consistency. After rinsing, my skin felt smooth and supple, not tight or stripped. For me, a face wash is way too drying if my skin starts to get oily right after cleansing. This product didn't cause any such reaction. I liked that this wasn't heavy or clinging on the skin. It really leaves your face feeling clean without drying. It is a well-balanced cleanser and I think it would be especially good in the summer when you just want to feel clean and refreshed. This does have a light fragrance to it. It is slightly citrus-y. It doesn't smell strongly but if you are sensitive to fragrances in skincare, you may want to keep this in mind.

The cleanser has a pleasant fruity floral scent. It had a good lather and it washed out cleanly. It didn't dry out my skin or leave it tight. My skin felt clean and refreshed. I did need to do some rubbing to remove my mascara though.

Sometimes skin, like hair, feels extra gunky, oily, or just gross. I think that's where this product shines. If I had a physical job or sweat a lot, this would be a top pick. It has a very strong lather and consequently would be a little too stripping for my dry skin if used daily during these winter months. I see myself using this more during the summer. As an occasional clarifying cleanser though, this product is efficacious and a great value. I expect this tube to last me quite a while because a little goes a long way, as strong as it lathers. I would buy this again, and probably will.

Clenaser arrived in the original box. Like the iridescent text used, the box grabs your attention with this. Reminds of a very well known brand that uses the same purple and green color tones. At first glance I almost mistook this as that brand’s cleanser instead. Cleanser is held in a squeeze tube with a flip top cap, safety seal was underneath the lid. Opening and closing the cap is loud because of the plastic. Takes some force to push the lid up. I twist the lid off instead when dispensing. Formula itself is a transparent gel with a scent that reminds me of detergent. It isn’t terrible but, it’s also not great. Viscosity is thicker like an average gel based cleanser but, has the water undertone that does allow for it to migrate on its own. Texture is smooth and feels hydrating. Produces a fine lather that creates the usual white toned base and occasionally tiny bubbles depending on how much water is added and force of rubbing your hands together. Could apply this to dry skin directly because it glides easily with the water and gel undertones, can follow up with water afterwards. Formula wise…I like most of the ingredients except for one surfactant and that’s the Sodium C14-16 OS because of its potential to cause irritation along with dryness. This is a commonly used ingredient in detergents so could be why the scent is as strong, along with the other perfuming agents included. Like some of the other ingredients with the lactic, calendula, humectants, gluconolactone/pha, etc. Haven’t had an issue with skin feeling stripped or causing dryness when I have used, which was sparingly and definitely not once a day or every other day. Had some noticeable irritation mainly show in the form of redness which was more than likely the perfuming agents but, it’s hard to tell since there’s a few different ingredients that can potentially cause irritation. Would recommend for those with oilier skin tones and do not have sensitive skin. Would still be cautious and patch test.

Especially in the morning, I really like a facial cleanser that really feels like it gets the grime off from overnight. This definitely does that. I don't need much, maybe a nickel size amount, and it lathers up really well. I don't think I would necessarily use this as the only step in makeup removal, but as the second cleanse after an oil based cleanser, definitely! There's no real harsh fragrence or ingredients. My skin feels clean, but not taught and dry afterwards. For $9 this is a good value.

I have normal to dry skin and thought this cleanser would work well. It smells and feels very good when washing and the foam seems gentle. But within a few minutes after use, my skin felt very tight and dry. Moisturizing helped but I usually don't have to add a moisturizer so soon after washing. That said, I think it's only worth removing one star. This is reasonably priced at about $9.

Been using this for few months now and I can say I love it. It’s very smooth and neat to my face. Never had any problem

This is our 2nd time purchasing this. We love the whole range of products

I really like this stuff and it works great on my combo skin. It has a pretty smell to it and leave my skin feeling great after using it. No dryness at all. I am using it paired with the balm from the same company. One night I couldn't find the balm and decided to just skip it and thought it would be an issue to not have moisturizer on, but my skin didn't itch like with some face cleansers. I actually had the ultimate test with this one. I did a few days of festive Christmas makeup and for those of you out there who have tried red eyeshadow will know that it often stains and it did on my hand when I swatched to see what colour I wanted, and regular soap wouldn't remove it. This cleanser removed that and also removed ALL my festive colours, glitter and all. My toner on a cotton round had no makeup come off on it so this stuff works great. One thing I noticed about this cleanser is that it doesn't lather much for me.. It works great, just that I find it doesn't lather like other cleansers and I have soft water and most things do lather. It has a light scent that I can't really tell what it is, it could be the calendula but it smells more like an aloe or something, I find it very pleasant but for those who don't like scents, it is very subtle to me. I love it and would recommend it.

It is a clear gel-type cleanser with a subtle fragrance which smells like a baby body wash. I have a combination type of skin and after using it for a week, it effectively removes dirt and oil but leaves my skin feeling hydrated. One thing that I noticed about the packaging is that the cap is quite flimsy which causes the product to leak.

Great for sensitive skin. Didn't make my face red or break me out. Took away many blackheads. Sometimes I get really red dry areas around my lips after trying beauty products and this cleanser didn't do that to me. Only 4 stars for the way it smells. Hopefully its back in stock soon.
