My Experience

When I first tried this product, I was excited to get my hands on a Drunk Elephant product, as I had been wanting to try them. At first, I was slightly underwhelmed as this product is fairly simple and reminded me of the more affordable Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. However, as I have used it I have began to love it more and have since purchased my second bottle of this cleanser.

My favorite feature is that this product is simple enough to use everyday in both the morning and night. I prefer to use just one cleanser and not switch throughout the day for simplicity, and this product is the perfect face was to do this with. The gentle nature of this product, plus my great experience with it, is why we included in our review of the Best Teen Gifts.

I really enjoy the ability to use this face wash to completely remove my makeup. Either in the shower or at the sink, I apply this face wash and gently rub it all over my face to remove most of the makeup. Then I will rinse and repeat to get all my makeup, including my mascara off. This routine makes my evenings extremely easy.

Customer Reviews

We reviewed through Amazon reviews to get more perspective.
One review really enjoyed the product stating,

I LOVE this product. It is super gentle on my skin and mine is fairly sensitive. I love that less is more and you don’t need to use but a dime size for your face at each wash.

However, another review did not enjoy the product as much, stating,

have sensitive skin that gets dried out easily, and this cleanser felt like it sucked all the life out of my skin. Good for removing makeup, and it seems to be truly fragrance free which is nice, but if you need something that retains any of your skin’s moisture I would save your $.

The Brand

When I first tried it, I was excited to hop on the band wagon of this brand and was happy with the results.
