Om, Om, Om, for the BIOME! The harsh winter elements of being stuck inside with the heat on high can create havoc for our skin, and oftentimes, using a facial wash with foaming capabilities is something I avoid for my dry skin type but BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser not only cleanses dirt and pore-clogging factors but does so while leaving behind a balanced, hydrated bounce to the dermis.As a skincare professional with over 25 years of experience, I approach skin cleansing by searching for products that clean, detoxify, and keep the biome in balance. This cleanser is a clear gel that is fragrance-free, smooth, and slippery smooth to the touch. I apply the product to my dampened face using circular motions and enjoy the calming and cleansing effect of a soft, velvety lather that doesn't over-foam or strip my skin. Rinsing leaves no soapy residue behind and my skin feels plumped and clean, with a hydration bounce. Tri-ceramide complex, licorice root, and green tea are the trinity ingredients marketed to boost the skin's biome and leave healthy, clean, skin behind.The packaging is colorful and creative 'touting' the evolution of a sustainable approach and ease of use. The ample, 5-ounce of cleanser with a low inviting price point of 12.00 is housed in a sturdy, modern bottle free from additional boxed packaging. I have used cleansers with subpar pumps that make me dispense way too much product for the cleansing ritual, creating more waste than needed. A couple of gentle presses on the flat-top, smooth-action pump dispenses a petite amount of product, which is exactly enough to get the job done. The ingredient list is precarious? Preservatives such as phenoxyethanol can cause skin irritation but this ingredient is at the bottom of the list, so the percentage is likely quite low. Other ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, sodium chloride, sodium benzoate, and others make me scratch my head. The packaging is bright and artful, extremely sturdy, and well-made. The ink used to heat press within the plastic of this modern-shaped bottle seems unfortunate. Why not offer packaging with removable labels so this sturdy well designed vessel can be repurposed in one's home and can be filled with other things? Not to mention that 'colored' plastic, although visually appealing, most likely won't be recycled as it is difficult with established recycling protocols. Hopefully, this can change.

Mary Beckmann Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser arrived and I couldn't wait to try it. I'm in my 60's, have been in the Beauty Business for over 40 years and have used many over the counter and professional cleansers in my life. I'm always looking for a cleanser that is gentle, but also will remove my makeup fully (especially mascara). Biomass is priced right, thus affordable and can be purchased in Target. The creamy cleanser is packaged in a 175ml/5.9fl.oz light yellow recyclable squarish pump plastic container. Ingredients are clearly listed and a explanation of each benefit is also described. Byoma Cleanser is dermatologist tested, promises to hydrate and brighten your skin containing tri-ceramide complex, a antioxidant rich licorice root and green tea, is PH balanced, and will not disrupt your skin barrier. The Jelly Cleanser is clear and after applying in circular motions the jell performs as named being thick and creamy without a scent. After applying I rinsed my face well and my skin felt clean and refreshed without feeling stripped. I don't wear a lot of foundation so cleansing my skin was not an issue, but unfortunately my mascara was not totally removed leaving mascara on my facial towel. Lesson learned remove your eye makeup up first, then use Byoma Jelly Cleanser.At the price point Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser is sold and the convenience anyone can purchase the product at Target, I'd recommend the Cleanser to anyone that wears minimal make up or to use as a refresh cleanse. I personally don't like to cleanse twice as it's an added step in my routine. For that reason I'm deducting two stars.

I love how easily this cleanser gifted by BYOMA cleans my skin and removes makeup without leaving my skin feeling stripped and dry. It has a nice texture and also washes off easily. I wouldn't recommend using it on eye makeup or around the eyes but it's great for skin.
Love! 5

Gifted by Byoma. This cleanser is more like a gentle foam cleanser. It does a nice job at cleansing the skin. I hace dry skin and t the beginning it was ok, but after using it for a few days, it started to make my skin a little dry.
