Kiyoko's Notes

Mildly acidic gel cleanser that maintains skin's natural balance

Dr. Althea Green Relief Amino Gel Cleanser is specially designed to reduce frictional irritation and easily produce foam, setting it apart from cream-type cleansers by avoiding excessive surfactants and clumping. It is a favorite among those with oily or combination skin, acne-prone individuals, and those in need of a quick lather due to its refreshing and effective oil-removing properties. The cleanser utilizes smaller bubbles for deep pore cleansing, boasting a mildly acidic pH of 5.0-6.0 that helps maintain the skin's natural barrier and offers gentle exfoliation without causing irritation. Enriched with Hyaluronic acid, Betula platyphylla japonica juice, and betaine, it ensures a long-lasting moisturizing sensation. Additionally, it features coconut-based and amino acid surfactants for thorough yet gentle cleaning, making it suitable for sensitive skin, and is proudly vegan and clinically proven for effectiveness on sensitive skin.

Gentle for Acne-Prone, Sensitive Skin

First time using this cleanser, and it truly is gentle. I have oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin. My skin doesn't feel stripped after washing, especially since I wanted something more hydrating in the winter season. I also use this to clean my makeup brushes and it takes everything off so easily! Perfect for the winter season- I might switch to something more exfoliating in the warmer months, but it's perfect for the colder months. I only dock one star because I don't see any exfoliating ingredients that could assist with acne, and while I'm not sure if it helped with my (hormonal) acne, it did help reduce some of my redness from skin irritation.

So gentle !

I have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. And this foams up really easily and makes my face feel clean but not stripped. I love it. I bought it again b/c I love it so much. It has a slight fragrance to it but it’s not overpowering and tolerable/pleasant.
