We like the crispness of a fresh green apple—but we absolutely adore the freshness of a deeply clean complexion. This cleanser delivers the best of both: The invigorating formula—based on organic juices, purifying botanicals, and plant-based cleansers—washes away dirt and dead skin while improving skin tone and texture.
I have a (non-life-threatening) allergy to many raw fruits (but not cooked fruits - I can drink store-bought apple juice with no problem). A previous Juice Beauty moisturizer sample made me react, so the juices are NOT fully cooked (if cooked at all). I did not try this sample because I suspect it would be similar. The raw juices could be a plus for people who are in to that sort of thing (and aren't allergic to it), but this product was unusable for me.
1I was really hoping to find a new, nourishing cleanser with this sample. Unfortunately, it does not foam up or remove makeup as well as I had hoped. While the texture of the gel is nice, it's not as effective as I would like. It caused some breakouts on my sensitive skin and smells a little more like lemon pledge than apple.
2So, I've been a long term benzoate peroxide user for blemish control. I've avoided changing my cleanser because I end up with a breakout that is out of control. Who wants that?!?!
On the off chance that this fresh smelling, organic cleanser might be different, I decided to give it a try. First time try - amazing. My skin felt clean, smelled nice and didn't overproduce oil all day.
Wanting a little exfoliating, I combined it with Cailyn Cosmetics IT Foaming O2 Scrub - and WOW!!! I can't believe the results. I no longer need to use a moisturizer after my daily routine and my skin feels so soft and smooth - and no breakouts. Happy dance time!!
Not only does it work clean my skin, it leaves it feeling nourished and it smells delicious. I use the cleansing gel alone daily and every few days, I combine with the Cailyn Cosmetics IT Foaming O2 Scrub to achieve the exfoliation I need.
Thanks to my mom for gifting me a full size of each - which are on their way. Good bye chemically smelling benzoate peroxide wash. Hello Juice Beauty Green Apple Gel Cleanser :-)
