REVIEW: Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel

In my quest for a new facial cleanser, I tried Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel.  Here’s my review – in list format!

Here what Juice Beauty says about their product:

A brightening hydroxy-acid complex of certified organic, antioxidant-rich apple and lemon juices, purifying botanicals and soothing cleansers to gently remove dull, lifeless skin and refine complexion for radiant, ageless beauty.  4 oz, $26.

Here’s what I say. . . .

The Pros:

1. No animal testing.
2. OK for use with a Clarisonic.
3. It rinses off easily.
4. Affordable price point.

The Cons:

1. Pump dispenser broke after I used it the first time – CHEAP! 
2. Smell – with all the apple and lemon juices, and given the name of the product, I expect a fruitier smell.  It doesn’t smell bad, it’s just . . . weird.
3. It didn’t foam or suds up.  In fact, it didn’t really do anything other than slide around on my face.
4. After rinsing off, my skin didn’t have a fresh, clean feel.

The Neutrals:

1. The texture is odd, sort of like honey on my face, and it took some getting used to.
2. 4 ounce container means that I can’t take it in my carry on luggage.

The Bottom Line:

I didn’t HATE if, but I didn’t love it either.  I didn’t see or feel a difference in my skin, and although a couple weeks may be too soon, the cleanser just doesn’t have enough going for it for me to keep with it.  NEXT!

If you have a cleanser that you love and think it will be great for my skin type and needs, please leave a recommendation in the comments.
