INDIE LEE Brightening Cleanser

Most Helpful Positive Review

favorite cleanser in a while

i've been using this cleanser for about two weeks and it's done exactly what is described. i was having bad flare ups with texture and my skin was looking dull and tight. i have combo/dry skin, in the winter my skin gets pretty dehydrated and it's easy for fine lines to appear. this face wash worked... just days after using it. my texture improved so much and i'm so surprised at how well it works with brightening my skin, i'm really noticing a glow with consistent use. my fine lines have reduced significantly so my skin looks really healthy and supple. started off using morning and night, but since it's more of a gel consistency i switched to only using in the morning and added a cream cleanser at night for added moisture. only three minor cons - 1. you'll definitely notice the strawberry seed oil. it's not super overpowering and i personally love the scent, but if you have sensitive skin or aren't a fan of scented products it may be unflattering. i do think it lingers a bit throughout the day as well. 2. the gel consistency means it doesn't lather like other cleansers might, which is something i'm used to. i use 2-3 pumps and that's usually enough. if you really want to see a lather would def recommend doing like the instructions say and make sure your face is WET and hands are too. i've found using in the shower gets a better lather. 3. doesn't really clear up acne. i have hormonal breakouts and occasional maskne, and this doesn't make my breakouts any worse but also doesn't clear my skin up any faster. not a deal breaker since it doesn't advertise for that, and even with the occasional breakout this does wonders for fading post acne dark marks, so i just use an acne specific cleanser some nights. overall 1000/10, will probably try the purifying face wash next to see which i like more, but if you're even on the fence - this is a cosign to definitely try this.
