Bitter Green Deep Cleansing Gel

Comments about Skinfood Bitter Green Deep Cleansing Gel:

I usually use an oil cleanser to take off my makeup (if I wear it) so I can't say how it works in that area, but I've been using this for a while so I can't say that as just a face wash / cleanser it works really well. My face doesn't feel tight or dry, and I really like the smell— I'm personally a fan of the herbal / lemon-y / earthy scents. I have acne (ugh) and this doesn't irritate it at all— I can't tell if it necessarily helps with my acne since my situation is pretty stagnant, but it definitely doesn't hurt. This is for sure one of my favorite cleansers.

I use this product to remove my makeup and then remove any excess with a wipe. This product leaves my face feeling very clean. I have extremely sensitive skin and this works very well for me.

So I recieved this as a gift, however, it make me break out so badly that I had to stop. It's sad because I'm a skinfood biased user and this was the first product to let me down.

Been using it for a while now and I really have no complaints.

I know gel moisturizer works great for oily skin so I figured a gel cleanser should be just as good. I've only used it a few times so I can't give it a full review in regards to effectiveness, but I'll say what I can.

Smell: Strong. I won't say it's bad but it's not something you'd wear as perfume. It's herbal, mixed with mint (which is an herb but distinct in this case), and a little alcohol-y. I'm not even sure if it's alcohol I'm smelling or just the scent of the different "bitter greens" in the product combining to smell that way.

Taste: I made the mistake the first time I used this to get it on my lips so I'll just say this. It does NOT taste good. It's like sucking on a baby wipe. Don't do it. Lol.

Consistency: It's a gel and it pretty much stays a gel. It glides on really easily. You can see a little bit of soapy/foamy texture develop when it's wet but not enough to really call it a lather. It's not going to bubble up on you.

Packaging: Comes with a really good amount and I LOVE the pump. I hate trying to squeeze cleansers out of a tube with wet hands and manouver around so I don't get it everywhere and then try to remember to put the cap back on. Pump and done. No fuss no muss.

Effectiveness: As I said, I haven't used this too many times so I can't say anything about long-term effectiveness. Sometimes I wipe my makeup off before cleansing but I wanted to see how well this worked, and it works WELL. Completely erases makeup in one go. Face is completely clean afterwards. Just rinse off the cleanser and you're good to go. Doesn't leave a residue. Skin feels soft and almost plump (in a good way) after use.

Other remarks: Be careful around the eyes. I wouldn't recommend this product to someone with sensitive skin. The scent is so strong, or maybe it's the ingredients, but it almost makes my eyes burn if I get too close to them with it. I imagine someone with sensitive skin would react in other areas of the face too.

I will definitely repurchase again. :)

I spread it on my face, then rub and rinse. Different from what I'm used to; rub on hands to create foam then put/rub it on my face.
It's not foamy at all. Not sure if i can tell if my face is clean or not since it's not 'squeaky clean'. Non drying, though.
Smells lemony, minty?

I have dry skin and whenever I see "deep cleansing gel" on a label I assume it's going to be drying. But I love Skinfood so I decided to give this a try. It has a thick, cushiony gel texture but it doesn't foam up too much (foam + bubbles = drying). I use it to remove my makeup at night (even eye makeup) and when I'm done, there is NOTHING left behind. Even when I dry my face on a towel, there is no mascara or black streaks from eye makeup left behind. The best part is, my skin feels hydrated and soft afterwards with no tight feeling. It takes off makeup just as well as my cleansing oils but doesn't leave a residue...my skin feels deeply cleansed. I will definitely continue to repurchase! Another great product from Skinfood and affordable too!
