What the gurus are saying

The Style and Beauty Doctor and No BS Beauty and others rate it; Dr Dray is mixed. The dissent from Dr Dray: "It doesn't really generate much of a foamy lather, but there is a bit of a silky creamy lather to it. I love that it has licorice root, which helps calm down redness."

"It doesn't really generate much of a foamy lather, but there is a bit of a silky creamy lather to it. I love that it has licorice root, which helps calm down redness. It is anti-inflammatory, and it also has ceramide, similar to the CeraVe cleansers, but without the niacinamide, if you're niacinamide overloaded right now in your skincare routine. This was fine, I didn't have any gripes with it or problems. But the packaging is a reason why I would not buy this again, because I just don't like the uncertainty of whether this is truly empty or not. That bothers me like you would not believe. Otherwise, I really liked it a lot."

*2023* ULTA BEAUTY GIFT SETS & EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS
"It's a good little stocking stuffer from BYOMA. You get the Jelly Cleanser and the hydrating serum, I've used both of those, they're pretty nice. The Jelly Cleanser has ceramides and licorice and green tea. I love gel cleansers just from the neurocutaneous sensory aspect of things."
Approved
"I would say that this is a pretty standard cleanser. I would probably use this on a regular basis just based on how it felt. This one, especially because it's clarifying, because it has tea tree oil in it, because it has salicylic acid in it, I would say that this is probably best for oily skin or if you're someone who sweats a lot. The salicylic acid goes deep into the pore, clears out the gunk that can cause acne and ingrown hairs, and gets it out of the pore. Tea tree oil helps with acne, it helps to kill bacteria, so it's helpful with acne, and it also helps with things like bug bites. If you have very dry skin, I would probably avoid this, because I could feel it, especially with the salicylic acid and the tea tree oil."

"That was a nice cleanser. I didn't smell any fragrance in it, which was nice."

"The ones I love, love, love: the BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser. BYOMA's got a lot of cleansers out now, they're coming out fast and furious with these new products. This one was, I think, $13, and now they've also got a cleansing balm, a cleansing oil, a milky cleansing oil, and I didn't love the other ones, but this one overall was very nice and affordable. The packaging is kind of fun too."

"This right here is the Creamy Jelly Cleanser. This has a tri-ceramide complex so it doesn't strip the skin, and remember, cleansers are an absolute essential for all skincare routines. This also has licorice root extract. That's not the same as vitamin C, but it can brighten the skin and have a similar benefit to vitamin C but without the stinging and the irritation. There's also green tea, which really helps to nourish a skin barrier and has antioxidant support. It's a really fun texture, it's really fun to use, and again, skincare is health care, hygiene is essential. This is a great choice, you get a lot for your money, you can get it at Target. And again, if it's the product packaging they like, this is very similar to Drunk Elephant at a fraction of the price."

BYOMA INVESTIGATION
"The BYOMA Jelly Cleanser has cocoa middle Propel betaine which is a gentle surfactant which I like especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. It's got ceramides in it and Allantoin is an anti-inflammatory, so I do like this product. I would recommend this product especially if you have dry sensitive skin."
Approved
"This dupe is so spot on, from packaging to experience to ingredients. It's the BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser for $14, so you're saving a good $20 on a cleanser. It's a very similar type of consistency, you get that really deep cleansing experience, and the cleansing ingredients are very similar, but in my opinion the BYOMA cleanser has better ingredients because it has licorice root extract, green tea, ceramides. It's a pretty stacked ingredient list. BYOMA has great skincare products that are super cute but still have a luxury feel to them, with very similar packaging to Drunk Elephant, but for literally a fraction of the price point, and I recommend their products all the time on my channel. If you're a parent out there who wants to get their kids set up with a skincare routine, I definitely recommend checking out BYOMA."
