Acure Organics Cleansing Gel Superfruit + Chlorella Growth Factor - Review

So, I just ran out of my Acure cleansing gel sample. My first impressions? It feels like a concentrated gel. Thick but not too thick, so so a little goes a long way. It feels very clean and foamed easily. The foam was very light, though, so if you’re a lather lover, you may be unimpressed. Personally, I thought it was sufficient. After a thorough rinse with warm water, my skin just felt deep cleaned and smooth. No tightness or dry patches. My face always felt refreshed and not oily, sticky or had any leftover dirty filmy feeling.

This gel has the same citrusy scent as the resurfacing lotion. After a few days, my complexion seemed to look a little brighter, but that maybe because of the light. This gel has an “antioxidant dense cleansing complex that maintains your skin’s natural acid mantle, activates new cell growth and helps you look younger and feel better.” Acai Berry is supposed to be an antioxidant and has anti-aging benefits. Chlorella Growth Factor provides similar benefits.

This is a very, very good cleanser and there’s nothing negative about it at all! I have a few more cleansers to try, but if they don’t impress I’ll buy a full bottle of this.
