"The jelly cleanser, certain batches contain a preservative not listed on the product ingredient list. And whilst this preservative is found commonly in skincare products, especially those clean beauty ones, this preservative, like many paraben alternatives, can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, especially at higher levels."

"I do love this jelly based cleanser from Drunk Elephant because it's got that nice kind of gel based cleanser but it also kind of purifies and melts things, so it incorporates a gel based cleanser and a more almost like a balm type effect as well. It's got salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid within it, all botanically derived. It's got a nice blend of surfactants and makeup dissolving emollients and it leaves the skin feeling very soft but without damaging the skin barrier. With water as a top ingredient, glycerin in there which is great for the skin barrier, a few leaf extracts and surfactant things that melt things. It removes all traces of makeup, excess oil and pollution. It's really kind to my skin without damaging it. I actually bring this on holiday with me because it's a nice small formulation. This is really strong though, so I actually say to patients just use this once a day and maybe just use micellar water maybe at night or your cleansing balm because I worry about patient skin barriers."

"Yes, it probably does what it says on the tin. You be careful about use around the eyes because I think they've overestimated that claim that it removes all makeup, but no I think it's good for all skin types and actually yeah I think this is something that probably would make my travel bag."

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser Review | Nourishing Cleansing Magic | Dr. Somji Reviews

"When I used this I actually really liked it. I thought it didn't dry out my skin, it was nice and conditioning. I felt my skin barrier was still maintained but my skin felt quite nice and clean. I like that it's got that coconut-based surfactant with cocoa coco monoide betaine as well as cocoa glucoside, both coconut-based surfactants which are fantastic. If you're worrying about marula oil clogging your pores, this is something that's going to be good to clean your skin with because it will probably get rid of that. I think it's good for all skin types. The only drawback is the actual amount of active ingredients is quite low, so it's not going to really change your skin so much. Be careful about use around the eyes because I think they've overestimated that claim that it removes all makeup."

"Another fail in the cleanser category was by Drunk Elephant. This is their Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser. Once again, very similar to the Neoc Cleanse, it just was slightly stripping. If you have normal to oily skin, you'll probably love this cleanser."

"This person reached out to Drunk Elephant directly and asked which products of theirs are safe for children, and they said their only products that are safe for kids are the bronzing and Rosy drops, virgin oil, laa whipped cream, and the jelly cleanser."

"I finished a little tiny sample of the Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser which was just a perfect size for the cabin. It lasted me four or five or six cabin trips. It's really wonderful."
