Aloe Cleansing Gel
$36
Aloe vera is known for its soothing properties, but it can be a very powerful ingredient, that protects your skin. With an aloe base and a mix of natural sugars, this gel cleanser will give you a deep clean that you can really feel, and rebalanced hydration levels in your skin, leading to less oil production and results that you can really see.
We recommend this for
If you're about to have a particularly sweaty day and know you're going to get that oily shine. Also great if you're prone to build up and congestion and are looking for a treatment style cleanser for breakouts.
How we use it
Less is more with this one! Apply a pea size amount of product to damp skin and lather up with a healthy dose of water. Cleanse for a minute and then rinse off with warm water.
What to expect
Because of the sugars, this cleanser can feel active and even give a bit of a tingle. Don't be afraid if it makes you rosy, this can happen and will subside.
When looking for a foaming cleanser with a little bit more "oomph", this is a go-to. Don't be fooled by the aloe in the name, as it's extremely clarifying since aloe is a natural form of salicylic acid. This makes it great for combination or oily skin types. The lavender and oat help to balance this cleanser out.
