  1. jess_lambe –

    I have fairly dry skin, so would not go for GEL as a rule, but I read this was so gentle and it really is, great for the AM, so fresh and revitalising on the skin, and lovely as a double cleanse. The 200ml is such a good size too. it is going to last ages.

  2. karen –

    The smell is herbaceous and I like it. But it is difficult to generate foams. If compare to the cream cleanser, I prefer the cream one.

  3. Stephanie N Harrison –

    Smells great and a brilliant cleanser for combination skin

  4. Katherine Wearne –

    I absolutely love this cleanser, I used it in South Africa and was so happy when I moved to the Uk that I could still get it. It feels so fresh on the skin and I love the smell.

  5. loulou-p –

    I have combination sensitive skin and struggled to find a cleanser that gives a deep cleanse but doesn’t aggravate my skin. Since using the gel cleanser my skin has cleared up, it’s the best it’s ever looked.

  6. Caitlin –

    My skin has never felt more clean. It is the most refreshing cleanser and is a great buy. 200ml bottle is great value for money and the product goes a long way!

  7. Thia –

    I received it as a sample in my Trial Pack and absolutely loved it. My skin felt so deeply cleansed and refreshed. It is mildly foaming but the aloe base ensures it is hydrating and cooling, my skin didn’t feel dried out at all after use but rather plump and soft. The tingling sensation from the mint was invigorating and it smells so clean and crisp. It worked very well on my skin which is very sensitive – no irritation at all.

  8. Edyta –

    It works really well. So far impressed, once I finish the small bottle, and it works much better than the other products available, I might save a few pennies and buy the bigger one.

  9. Carmen Melissa Jessop –

    Amazing product for oily skins and smells so minty and fresh:)

  10. Minette Vosloo –

    This is a great cleanser to start the day. Won’t dry the skin out either, leaving it fresh and stimulated with the peppermint and spearmint oil. Its good for men to use with a shave, the skin is less irritated and ingrown hair and bumps become less. It helps clear pimples on the back to wash with the gel cleaser twice a day.

  11. Kerry Venter –

    Refreshing, minty, slightly foamy. Awesome cleanser!

  12. Megan Fosse –

    The smell itself literally makes you think “clean”…every client compliments it. They love the tingly feeling and always ask what is in this cleanser. Alot of people associate foaming cleansers with cleanliness, so its definitely a favourite.

  13. Yvette Botha –

    This was one of the very first Esse products I started using. It is so refreshing and your skin feels super clean and cool afterwards. This is my best cleanser to use in hot summer months.

  14. Jill Mckeith –

    Love gel cleanser for its many uses.
    Our whole family uses this cleanser. Teenagers love it.
    It is so great to use after sport.
    So great that it can be used as body wash, shaving gel and for acne.
    The spearmint, peppermint fragrance revives the senses.

  15. Cordnee Lee Moonsamy –

    Fresh and minty foam that gently cleanses and refreshes your skin all while taking you to heaven for a few minutes every day. What more could a gal ask for!?

  16. Loice –

    Love the Gel Cleanser for its Minty and refreshing.

  17. Anneke Lange –

    A beautiful product to help you and your skin wake up for the day with the sharp minty aroma tantalizing your senses. Spearmint helps with circulation and therefore promotes better blood flow to the top layers of the skin.

    A lovely product.

    Especially her in KZN’s super humid weather to freshen up.

  18. Melissa Johnson –

    Minty, crisp and fresh sensation on your skin is enough to wake you up to get your day to a great start! Awesome as a facial cleanser, body wash & shaving gel! Men enjoy this product too, little fuss and multiple uses. Perfect for when you are travelling!

  19. Jenine Harrison –

    Love love LOVE this product!!!! Cleans thoroughly. Cleanses without stripping the skin and making it feel too tight… Removes makeup beautifully. Keep away from your husband/boyfriend! They love it as much!!!?

  20. Gretchen –

    This works well for oily-normal skin. My boyfriend has tried just about everything. This works better than proactive! He uses it for his face, back, and chest. He hasn’t broke out in months after using this product. I highly recommend it for people with highly sensitize skin. He also says it has a nice minty smell and it leaves his face feeling very clean.

  21. Karen –

    I love all the Esse products, but this one stands out for me. In the morning, when I am still feeling dozy, I climb in the shower and this amazing cleanser cleans my face and wakes me up in the process. The fragrances are so fresh, wild and alive, I feel like I’ve been running in a meadow. It’s also great for removing make up, including eye shadow and mascara in the evening.

  22. Frances –

    Lovely refreshing facial wash.

  23. Tracy Joy –

    I usually opt for cream cleansers but this sample was gentle on my dry skin
