Overview
This Natura Bisse gel is built to do more than cleanse. It combines glycolic and lactic acid, both alpha hydroxy acids, to help exfoliate while it foams away oil and impurities. The aloe vera scent and oil free, alcohol free formula keep it feeling fresh rather than stripping.
At 7 ounces, the bottle is sized for regular daily use, and being labeled cruelty free and vegan gives it broader appeal for shoppers who care about those standards. The brand positions it toward normal, oily and acne prone skin specifically, so it is formulated with a purpose in mind rather than as a universal cleanser.
With 157 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, buyers seem to appreciate the balance of cleansing and gentle exfoliation. The price sits at the higher end for a facial cleansing gel, which is typical for the Natura Bisse brand.

Performance notes
Glycolic acid and lactic acid are both alpha hydroxy acids that work at the skin's surface, with glycolic generally considered the more penetrating of the two and lactic acid known for being a bit gentler. Combined in a foaming cleanser, they give this gel double duty as both a cleanser and a light exfoliating step, which is why it is positioned toward oily and acne prone skin that can typically tolerate more frequent acid exposure.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average from 157 ratings reflects strong satisfaction, particularly for a cleanser priced above the category average. That combination suggests buyers feel the exfoliating benefit justifies the cost for their specific skin type.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cleanser gentle enough for daily use?
It is designed for daily cleansing, but because it contains both glycolic and lactic acid, those with more reactive skin may want to start with once a day and watch for any tightness or sensitivity before using it as both a morning and evening wash.
Can dry skin use this gel?
The formula is specifically marketed toward normal, oily and acne prone skin, so dry or very sensitive skin types may find the combined acids too exfoliating for comfortable daily use and might do better with a cream based cleanser instead.
Does this cleanser remove makeup?
It is formulated as a cleansing and exfoliating gel rather than a dedicated makeup remover, so pairing it with a separate makeup removing step first is a reasonable approach for a full face of makeup.
