Here's an honest look at the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Mask Cleanser — a 2-in-1 cleanser and wash-off mask — so you can decide if it fits your skin.
What it is, in one minute
- A foaming cleanser with kaolin clay that you can use daily, or leave on briefly as a quick mask.
- What's inside: kaolin, gluconolactone (a PHA), ascorbic acid, glutathione, niacinamide, tangerine peel powder, panthenol, beta-glucan and several forms of hyaluronic acid.
- It has a light citrus scent. It contains orange peel oil and limonene, so it is not fragrance-free.
- Period after opening: 12 months.
It's a good fit if…
- Your skin is normal, combination or oily and you want a cleanse that leaves skin looking fresher and brighter.
- You like a two-in-one step — a daily cleanse, plus a short mask on oilier areas.
- Your skin looks dull or uneven and you enjoy a glow-focused routine (it pairs with the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop).
Skip it — or pair it — if…
- You avoid fragrance or essential oils. Choose a fragrance-free cleanser instead.
- Your skin is very dry or your barrier feels compromised. Clay and a foaming base can feel too cleansing — see is your cleanser stripping your skin? Use it only on oilier areas, or skip the mask step.
- You already use strong exfoliants. The PHA is gentle, but don't stack it with other acids on the same night.
- Your skin is reacting right now. Wait until it settles.
How to use it
- As a cleanser: work a small amount with water into a lather, massage over damp skin and rinse.
- As a quick mask: apply a thicker layer to oilier areas, leave on for about a minute, then add water, massage and rinse.
- Follow with toner and moisturizer.
