A Little Goes a Long Way

I like everything about it except for the high price. The brand is great too.

My skin feels so calm and soothed. I love it! I've been using it for several days now.

보태니컬 키네틱스™ 퓨리파잉 젤 클렌저

- It feels slippery, so I end up washing my face multiple times
- The price is quite steep...
- Some people love the scent, but I'm not a fan, unfortunately

- The packaging is really pretty
- Not sure how well it cleanses, but it doesn't cause any blemishes

While I think it's gentle, it doesn't seem to have much cleansing effectiveness...

It's so gentle that I don't feel any discomfort when using it.

Is there something wrong with my skin? It feels completely dry after use. My skin feels tight and the slippery sensation isn't pleasant for me. I've resorted to using it as a hand wash - while it cleanses well, it leaves my skin feeling more tight and dry than regular soap. My hands are already quite dry to begin with... Although I generally like Aveda, this product just doesn't seem to work for me.

The scent is lovely. I really enjoy Aveda's signature fragrance.

The fragrance is quite divisive. The cleansing effectiveness could be better. It's a bit pricey for what you get.

I love the smooth, silky finish it gives. Unlike other cleansers that leave my face feeling tight, this one doesn't dry out my skin at all. The scent is reminiscent of Aveda products, which I personally enjoy, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Compared to oil-based formulas, you tend to use a bit more of this product. Also, the fragrance might not be to everyone's liking.

I'm satisfied that my skin doesn't feel dry after cleansing. Despite being a cleansing gel, it has excellent cleansing effectiveness.

Personally, I prefer cleansers that produce rich lather, and although I have dry skin, I like that squeaky-clean feeling after washing. This product doesn't foam at all. Its hydrating quality is a plus, so I plan to use it occasionally during seasonal changes or in winter, rather than right now.

It's gentle on the skin. Despite being a gel, it's not sticky but applies smoothly and leaves skin feeling hydrated after rinsing. There's no sensation of dryness or tightness. The scent, to me, is reminiscent of ginseng found in herbal cosmetics, but it's subtle and pleasant. I recommend it for morning cleansing or as a second cleanser to remove light makeup in this makeup-free era.

The price tag is a bit steep, which is the only downside. However, buying a larger size at duty-free shops can make it more economical.

Worried about the lack of foam? Don't be! This cleanser's effectiveness isn't dependent on bubbles. It thoroughly cleanses without leaving your skin feeling tight afterwards. Instead, it leaves your skin incredibly hydrated and feeling great. The signature Aveda natural scent is so refreshing and uplifting. As someone with dry skin, I'm usually cautious when massaging foam cleansers, but with this product, I don't have to be so gentle.

Since I've already bought it, I'm trying to make use of it by applying it with a cotton pad on areas with back acne before showering! It's not too harsh, so it could be a decent option for general use.

- I bought this for my first cleanse, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't seem to have strong enough cleansing effectiveness.
- Most importantly, while it's pricier than other options, I don't see any standout benefits in terms of cleansing power or results. It might work differently depending on your skin type, so I'd recommend carefully considering before purchasing.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I've switched to products that prioritize post-cleanse hydration over that squeaky-clean feeling. 

- Indeed, compared to other products, this one leaves my skin feeling less dry and more moisturized after cleansing.
- It's my first time trying a gel cleanser, and I was surprised by Aveda's watery consistency - it's more fluid than a typical gel. However, I found this actually blends well with my makeup when cleansing, which I really like.
- I'm prone to occasional small blemishes, but I didn't experience any breakouts or skin irritation after using this product.

The price is on the higher side, and it contains several potential allergens.

These days, there are many affordable and gentle cleansers on the market, but this product, despite being pricier and containing some potentially harmful ingredients, keeps me coming back. After use, my skin feels wonderfully hydrated. It also does an excellent job at cleansing.

The downside of the pump dispenser is that after prolonged use, the gel can harden and clog the opening.

Even though I have super sensitive skin, this product is so gentle that I've gone through two bottles. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after cleansing, making it a decent option for those with dry skin.

I used the smaller size, and every time I used it, the gel would harden at the opening, making it difficult to squeeze out or sometimes shooting out in unexpected directions. I'm not sure if the larger size has the same issue.

It's a thin gel texture, and a single squeeze is enough, making it last long for the price. I've used three tubes of this because it doesn't cause blemishes, keeps my skin hydrated, and feels comfortable on my skin.
