Great for a quick, light exfoliation

If you’re not a fan of fragrance some Badescu products may not be for you bc some are heavily scented with this one being in that category (listed as fragrance, linalool, limonene). I personally prefer scented products & usually never react unless it’s a high concentration of lavender. One major thing about this cleanser that I love is a few of the ingredients. Mainly the AHA’s for the gentle exfoliation provided. I do not rely on this to remove a thick SPF just bc it is too gentle of a cleanser (have no idea how it performs with makeup bc I no longer wear any). I mainly use this in the evenings as a quick cleanse when I’m tired bc there is no foaming or lather involved. Format itself has quite an oily texture to it the first couple seconds on cleansing, that oily texture slowly starts dissipating once I really start massaging the cleanser in. The gel is at a nice ratio as far as the viscosity goes…it isn’t a thick consistency that pulls. I store this w/other…what I like to call, “vampire” products bc of the ingredients in the formula (the fruit extracts mainly) to help with stabilization/shelf life.The price point is affordable with the 8oz running around $14 or the 16oz for $24. Amazon currently has these on sale as of posting this (12/22/21) the 16oz for $18. I usually wait until Ulta has a sale on Badescu (which is quite often) to replenish products I’m almost out of…sometimes you get a free Badescu gift (like a 4 piece sample bag with a minimum purchase that will include a 1oz of the enzyme gel to try) or I purchase from the official site (you can receive 25% off $35+ on your first order).

Mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel

Excellent product! It works! All of the products so far from Mario all work! My sister even accidentally tried this product when she was over and she came out excited saying she only used a little bit and loved this so much for her skin! It’s excellent for sensitive skin or if your sensitive to smell it doesn’t have a strong scent. This works for redness and it works for skin that’s breaking out. It honestly works. I highly recommend this!

Excellent gel nettoyant

J'ai essayer beaucoup de nettoyant pour le visage et celui la m'a beaucoup plus. J'ai la peau sensible et sèche et j'ai souvent la sensation que ma peau craque apres l'utilisation de nettoyant pour le visage. Ce gel nettoyant ne m'as pas donné cette sensation du tout !

Je l'adore et je le recommande

Awful cleanser

This cleanser was part of a Mario Badescu Anniversary pack that I purchased, I loved everything in the box except for this. I was shocked when I used it, I was washing my face for a good amount of time and rinsed. When I looked up at the mirror I had black from my mascara and eyeliner all around my eyes like a racoon! I put a little more cleanser on my hands and focused where the black was...all it did was move it around. My skin still felt greasy and makeup was still showing if i wiped my face. I had to rewash my face with my usual cleanser and it all came off. I would never use this cleanser again as it removed none of my makeup so I doubt it removed oil and dirt.

Best face wash

This face wash is different from most cleansers but it is really gentle and effective. It's a non foaming hell and is and makes my skin feel and look super soft and clean. For how good it works and feels, it's a fairly good price. I bought it at Anthropology for $14

I am so falling in love with this brand and wow
This cleanser is so gentle and the list of ingredients is short - ALL GOOD STUFF
from packaging to product
It's such a great cleaner and gently exfoliates the skin
The scent is very light
and the price point is so Good

i got this as a sample and thought it was weird how it didnt feel like it was washing my face but it feels really soft and clean surprisingly after using it. just doesent feel like it cause of the texture. but i would reccommend this cleanser.

My skin: oily, combo, sensitive, acne-prone (oily T, dry patches on cheeks)

Product details (full on site):
- Gentle green exfoliant with extremely fine granules
- Oil-free

My experience:
- After use my skin feels refreshed, moisture is balanced, looks toned.
- I have not experienced any breakouts, dryness or over-hydration while using this product.
- My pores are clear, and texture has dramatically improved.
- Love this especially when my skin feels heavy or congested.
- Safe for everyday, even twice a day.

How I use it:
- Remove makeup with a wipe, then use this cleanser with either my clarisonic or hands (stay away from the eyes), pat face dry, follow with a toner.

I found this product while researching skincare lines that use less chemicals because my skin is easily broken out.

TIP: Fill out the skin consultation/questionnaire on the Mario Badescu website, the company will send you an e-mail to order samples of recommended products. This is free, skip the purchase pages, definitely worth a shot.
