Customer photo review of Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I used to think I needed a harsh cleanser to cut through the grease. Big mistake, it only made me oilier. This cleanser is the complete opposite. It has a creamy texture that lathers into a soft foam, washing away excess sebum and impurities without leaving my skin tight or squeaky. My face feels clean, calm, and balanced, not stripped. Since switching to this, my skin doesn't overproduce oil to compensate, and I've noticed fewer breakouts. Finally, a gentle cleanser that actually works for my skin type!

mild foam cleanser does a great job at removing all the impurities and sebum from my skin, while being super gentle and non-stripping.

Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

Customer photo review of Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

This cleanser is a foaming facial wash, and it starts off as a rich cream, and builds up into a nice lather. Even though it cleanses my face really well, it doesn’t feel stripping at all. This product contains skin barrier-strengthening ingredients such as Ceramide NP, as well as soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica extract and Beta-Glucan. Overall, it’s a really nice face wash that can be used by most skin types.

I read that this cleanser is silky and dreamy, and let me tell you it really is! It is gentle and doesn’t strip my skin, cleanses it and leaves a refreshing feeling. You need a small amount to create the foamy texture. This has been my go to cleanser ever since I got it.

The only cleanser my skin doesn't react with at the moment is this one. It lathers nicely without stripping the skin and makes my skin feel so soft. It works amazingly for those with sensitive skin that need a good cleanser.

Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

Customer photo review of Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

This is my "basic" cleanser. Something which I always use when my skin breaks out or when it feels extremely dry or hard to manage. I love its silky texture, and it doesn't dry out. It is suitable for sensitive skin as it is very gentle.

Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

Customer photo review of Gentle Black Facial Cleanser

🖤 I love the creamy, dense texture of this cleanser, & you only need a tiny amount to create a foam wash that deeply cleans & refreshes! It has no added fragrance, however, it does have a light scent. I have sensitive skin & I find this cleanser very gentle & non irritating. 🖤 Although this cleanser is recommended for all skin types, I would say that it would be best for normal, combination, oily & sensitive skin. I have dry skin & I found this cleanser to be slightly drying. However, my skin was quickly replenished with essentials from my daily skincare routine. 🖤 I love the ingredients & skin benefits; & how long this will last! Compared to other cleansers I've tried, this is one of the most concentrated! If you want clearer, cleaner, healthier skin, I would definitely recommend trying it!

This creamy cleanser foams up into light bubbles and is very effective at removing dirt and oil, I found it to be a little too stripping. I have very sensitive skin so I’m not sure this is suitable for me.

I was pleasantly surprised with this cleanser. It's quite thick but once it mixes with water, it lathers really well and cleanses my face without drying it or giving it that squeaky clean feel. I like using this in the morning and at night when I double cleanse. A tube will last you a couple of months too !
