The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This gel cleanser is formulated with botanical extracts and glycerin, and it is alcohol free, which helps it stay on the gentler side for daily use. The apricot, cherry, orange and peach scent gives it a soft fruity character rather than a clinical feel, and it is meant for use on the face across all skin types.
At 200 grams, or about 7.05 ounces, this is a larger bottle than many gel cleansers, so it is built for someone who wants to stock up rather than buy a smaller trial size. Current availability shows a longer shipping window of about 7 to 8 days, which is worth planning around if you are close to running out of your current cleanser.
With more than 1,700 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, this cleanser has a solid and fairly large track record for a straightforward, everyday gel formula.
Pros

- Alcohol free formula is gentler for daily cleansing
- 4.3 star average across more than 1,700 ratings shows consistent satisfaction
- Fruity apricot, cherry, orange and peach scent feels pleasant
- Botanical extracts and glycerin keep the ingredient list simple
Cons
- Longer 7 to 8 day shipping window on current stock

Performance notes
Glycerin is a humectant that helps the skin retain moisture during cleansing, and pairing it with botanical extracts in an alcohol free base keeps the formula from feeling harsh. This makes it a good fit as a daily maintenance cleanser rather than a treatment product.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across more than 1,700 ratings is a solid, dependable score for an everyday cleanser, and the review volume suggests this is a well established product with a track record rather than a newer, untested one.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?
It is alcohol free and formulated for all skin types, which generally makes it easier to tolerate than cleansers with stronger actives. That said, the fruity scent blend is worth a patch test first if fragrance tends to bother your skin.
How long does the 200 gram size typically last?
Because this is a larger size than many gel cleansers, it is meant to last through regular daily use for an extended period, which is part of why it appeals to people who do not want to reorder frequently.
Why is shipping listed as 7 to 8 days?
The current listing shows a longer shipping window, so if you are running low on your existing cleanser it is worth ordering this ahead of time rather than waiting until you run out completely.
