   Gentle, mild, everyday cleanser. It works ok. Don’t expect any miracles.

   This cleanser doesn’t clean well unless you use a lot of it. I won’t buy it again. I gave 3 point is because it is all natural, gentle enough for problem skin, and at least, it does the cleaning job.

   EDIT: after continued use (2 months) this started becoming drying :-(. it’s still a great cleanser and would be perfect for someone with oily skin. but it’s too drying for me.
   Original Review:
   It is so hard to find a refreshing gel face wash that is not drying at all and has no sodium lauryl sulfate – I finally found it – this is the perfect gel cleanser! It is refreshing and cleans well but does not dry skin out at all; in fact I feel it makes my skin more balanced, calm, and supple. It must be because it has some moisturizing properties (like the fact aloe vera is the first ingredient- my skin loves aloe- and the oat amino acids.) the white tea scent is really refreshing and energizing, and white or green tea does always make my skin feel refreshed! I feel this cleanser is breakfast for the skin :). I use it in the a.m. so it is perfect. I also use it in the evening to make sure all the residue from my oil cleanser is gone. I won’t say it’s my HG cleanser *yet* as I have some more I want to try first, but it is certainly on its way to being HG!
   **p.s – to the reviewer below who gave it lower reviews for not being 100% natural– I think Korres does not market its products as being organic (which means everything in it is natural and certified organic); it markets as natural which I think means they use as much natural ingredients as possible but it may not be 100%. The reason is, to make it effective, sometimes some tiny bit of a chemically derived substance has to be used – for instance the gentle detergents in this cleanser (which still are derived from coconuts). if it did not have that, it would not emulsify and clean anything off your face. But this cleanser is MUCH more natural and gentle and free of irritants than almost any gel clenaser out there. (see other review listing of this product for ingredient list.) Sure you could just rub honey on your face; that’s 100% natural but it doesn’t mean it will be effective for your skin; some science is required. And it’s the S.A’s fault at Sephora for telling you it is 100% natural, so blame her, not the product. **

   I went to Sephora where I visited the “organic” and “natural” selection that they have. I tend to stick to vegan and natural products. I didn’t really read the ingredients on the back of the Korres cleanser, since the SA there convinced me this was one of the purest lines out there. Well, actually reading the ingredients when I got home, I realized I had gotten sucked into the pretty packaging and beautiful smells that the Korres line offers. The ingredients really are no better then anything else that is out there. *sigh* But onto the actual product itself. I love the texture of the gel and I found it really great at removing makeup and leaving my face feeling really cleansed. The smell is pleasant, a true white tea smell and a bit an earthy, green smell. It leaves my skin quite soft, which is a miracle, since I have sensitive, dry skin. No rashes or redness from using this. I have a bit of a problem with blemishes appearing around my forehead. It didn’t break me out but nor did it change anything. It’s a good cleanser overall, but I’m giving it some lippies down for calling itself or Seporha calling it a natural organic brand. True it has alot of good stuff in it, but if you look into what’s really in it, its far from being natural. Would not buy again because of this reason.
