- Asked by Alexis

Strawberry Seed Oil, hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Tomato extracts exfoliate and nourish for hydrated, silky and luminous skin (and the scent is divine).

- Q
So I know the smaller bottle is glass. (Unfortunately, because it slipped out of my hand in the shower and shattered, brand new) Is the larger one glass too, or is it a plastic bottle? Please tell me it is plastic. I love this cleanser, but having a glass bottle in the shower is dangerous. It looks and feels luxurious, sure. It needs to be safer too.
- Asked by Kimberly's beauty obsession
- Official Answer By Indie Lee - Brand EngageWe're so sorry that happened! We manufacture many of our products in glass as it is more sustainable and kinder to the planet than other materials. Since glass is fragile, the bottles may break if dropped. A hack we recommend is to place hair ties or rubber bands around the bottle. They will act as a shock absorber... and bonus, you will always know where to find one. ;) The Jumbo Brightening Cleanser (300ml) is packaged in a plastic bottle and better-suited for the shower. Hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you

How do you use this as a mask? Do you dampen your face/hands & then apply it or do you apply it to a dry face? I couldn't seem to get it right.
- Asked by naml
- Official Answer By Indie Lee - Brand EngageThere is no right or wrong way to use the Brightening Cleanser as a mask. I tend to have a better experience when I use a little bit of water on my hands to create a slight lather before I apply to my face, wait five minutes and rinse off. Thanks for using Indie Lee!Was this answer helpful to you

Not bad, just not for me
I LOVED the packaging, LOVED the scent. I have combination skin (forehead and nose are oil prone, everywhere else dry like the Sahara dessert), and have used CeraVe Salicylic cleaner at night forever (it was like it fought a battle every night to keep my breakouts a way and woke up with a win each ...

I love this product! Smells AMAZING (sweet strawberry) and leaves my face feeling refreshed and bright! I use it to clean as well as a mask and the somewhat gel-ish consistency feels great! 10/10 will be buying again!
The Absolute Best Gentle and Natural Brightening Cleanse
This is my go to cleanser for a simple routine. I'm 55yo and less is more. No harsh chemicals are included and the strawberry scent is wonderful. I have read that the owner uses her home grown botanicals. It is steep in price but one pump lathers up nicely, so it lasts a long time. Remember, a little goes a long way. I buy the large bottle to save more.
My Go-To For Years
I've been this product for years and don't plan on stopping any time soon! I remember when I started using this; after a few weeks, my friends and family complimented my skin. I have combination skin, some redness, never acne prone, and started using this when I was 27, now 31. I try other face cleansers from trial sizes, but they never do as well as this one!
My Fav Cleanser for 10 years
The founder of the line says you can eat her products. They are that clean and natural. I've tries many, orher cleansers but always come back to this. It keeps my aging skin youthful, clean and refreshed. Worth every penny!!!
I can't with the scent
I feel its an ok cleanser but didnt smell it before buying. Smells like kids medicine or something. Smell before you buy it! Also doesnt really remove make up as much as i would like. I just use a tinted spf and even after using it 2x it still leaves some make up.
