I love the texture and the scent of Flossier's Milky Jelly cleanser and I thought it did pretty well in the makeup-removal department too, but to be honest, I'm not a huge makeup wearer...just the basics. But what I've been doing with this jelly cleanser lately is using it to emulsify my Clinique "Take the Day Off" cleansing balm. It works so well this way and it's rosy scent distracts me from the "Crisco" scent of the cleansing balm. My skin has been loving this combo and I must admit, I find myself freely putting on some blush (the liquid one from Glossier is really nice...I'm not some die-hard Glossier fan, I bought it to get free shipping really...lol) and some concealer here and there during the day when usually the only person I might see is the mail lady, just to justify doubling up on separate products. But in all seriousness, it is like one product was made for the other. I have not found the jelly cleanser to be goopy, gloppy or sticky at all. It really sounds as if your's has dried out a little or you got an old batch?? I am enjoying it very much and more importantly, my skin is thriving. I can't go and change things up now, can I? Nah....lol. Great review! Surprising, but thorough and informative! Thank you!!<br /><br />D :)DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555273670858953339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-90799764166364012192017-05-14T22:25:44.776-07:002017-05-14T22:25:44.776-07:00Hi Cat!

I've been using the Milky Jelly cleanser and would like to try some alternatives, but was wondering...how do things like the CremorLab and Cosrx do in the eye area? One of the (only?) things I really like about Glossier's cleanser is I can get it all up in my eyes and it doesn't irritate them at all. A lot of other cleansers I tried sting my eyes like crazy! I actually use makeup remover (Bioderma) and then the Milky Jelly, but would gladly trade it in for something better, but I can't really tell if other cleansers need to stay out of my eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-77935771418716262632017-02-25T01:38:52.462-08:002017-02-25T01:38:52.462-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254928164419262916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-20527438836449056802016-09-16T22:28:25.313-07:002016-09-16T22:28:25.313-07:00Daiso sponge cleanser you say, hmmm ....Daiso sponge cleanser you say, hmmm ....Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-12447640010674440702016-09-12T14:47:14.047-07:002016-09-12T14:47:14.047-07:00Ah right, it is!

I have no idea why, though. I think the Milky Jelly cleanser would have fared better if it had not been hyped, as you mentioned.<br /><br />I don't use oil cleansing because my skin really hates oils. Cleansing oils, cleansing balms, cleansing sherbets, facial oils ... it hates them all. :(Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-18767463180809284822016-09-12T14:39:33.418-07:002016-09-12T14:39:33.418-07:00I find them to be quite different, actually! Clea...I find them to be quite different, actually! Cleansing oil is an oil blend that is primarily an oil, which has had emulsifiers added to it so that when water is added to it, the oil emulsifies and the oil cleanser can be rinsed away, where normally oil and water won't mix. This makes it as effective as oils when it comes to things like breaking down makeup and sunscreen, but without the challenge of trying to get it back off. :)<br /><br />Cleansing waters, on the other hand, are primarily water which has had oil 'micelles' suspended in it, which gives it more cleansing power than just water alone. It's still not nearly as robust as an oil cleanser though.<br /><br />Toners might have a small amount of oils in them, but as far as I know, they don't tend to be "micellar" waters. <br /><br />I hope that helps! :)Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-88819934586557358932016-09-10T20:22:37.550-07:002016-09-10T20:22:37.550-07:00Also arent cleansing waters & toners the same ...Also arent cleansing waters & toners the same or is there a difference?

I know cleansing oil helps remove make up, sunscreen, dirt, etc. but I don't even wear make up so I feel like it'd be a lil too extra but I'm not sure at the same time. Also, I have oily, & acne prone skin & im 16 years old, would you recommend cleansing waters or cleansing oil? Sorry if I'm asking for too much. D: I'm a noob at asian skincare so I'm trying to plan out my routine, I'm currently using this medical brand which helps out a little bit but it took FOREVER. Plus it's all so expensive & I don't wanna destroy my parents wallet each time I need to buy it again.

The general "cool girl" aesthetic + hype around Glossier tends to turn me off, but I had been considering trying this cleanser - glad to know there are better options.<br /><br />Do you ever use straight oil for oil cleansing? I've been using grapeseed oil and it takes off all my makeup, doesn't break me out, and washes off fine with my 2nd cleanser. I'm using CeraVe right now, but want to try the Hada Labo or Cosrx. So glad I found your blog!Linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776973709126439478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-41602888779432837192016-09-10T01:32:40.818-07:002016-09-10T01:32:40.818-07:00Cremorlab oil cleanser not widely available?

I read the interviews and the product pages which were goin' hard on how amazing a makeup remover it was! One step cleaning to totally remove all your makeup AND cleanse your skin! Super powerful, yet doesn't strip your skin! etc etc. and then<br /><br />2. I did the head-to-head makeup/sunscreen removal test for this review, *after* reading the above-mentioned claims. I knew I wasn't thrilled with its cleansing ability but daaaaaamn I was not expecting it to fall so flat in makeup removal, and require so much scrubbing to get off that much. :( And it was compared to the Cremorlab Gel Oil, which isn't even as serious as a "real" oil cleanser ... I can only imagine how it would have fared against a classic oil or balm cleanser, eh? :(<br /><br />I think they just set unattainable expectations for it, you know? I haven't given up on non-foaming cleansers though; I'll find one that gets me excited one of these days! ;)Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-79363709495904083472016-09-06T13:43:38.381-07:002016-09-06T13:43:38.381-07:00This is super interesting to read!

I was into cetaphil and spectrogel for years, and got used to having a non foaming cleanser, so even when I double cleanse I felt like the foaming second cleanser was too much for me. I don't wear much makeup though, so it's more of a gentle afterthought once I use Banila purity. I also use the Su:m37 rose stick cleanser, but it's a bit foamy for my tastes so I save it for travel!

I bought this, too, and while my impression has been more positive than yours, I expected you to be "meh" about it based on your past reviews. I have normal-leaning-dry skin, and I like using this in the morning and at night on no-makeup days. It's not all that exciting, but it does the job. Cons for me are the difficulty scrubbing it off and the...unfortunate texture (oh god whyyyy). I'll finish the bottle and then look at the Su:m37 cleansing water, which at least makes my heart beat faster with its good looks!slothvegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920222768025194200noreply@blogger.com
