Best Skincare Brands of 2023 - Favorite Skincare Brands to Try This Year!
"I absolutely love their Jelly Joker cleanser. This is a great gentle cleanser and it does a pretty good job as a second step cleanse or use it in the morning to kind of clean skin out. A lot of people in the morning just splash their face with water because they're afraid of it getting dry, and you can use this in its place and it still won't dry your skin out."

It's gentle, mildly foaming, does a great job as a second step cleanser or a morning cleanser, or just if I haven't put a ton of makeup on that day it does a pretty good job removing sunscreen and things like that. So it's very nice, very gentle, and very affordable."

Ultimate ANTI-AGING ROUTINE - How I Boost Collagen FAST
"The geek and gorgeous Jelly Joker cleanser, I followed up with this just to make sure I got all the last traces off. In truth you could use one or the other of these if you want to cut out a step but I think these just pair so well together for like the perfect double cleanse on an evening."
THE PERFECT CLEANSERS - Move Over Cerave ( Best Cleansers 2024 )
"The Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker Cleanser is just a great allrounder. It has a nice level of foam but not so foaming that it's stripping on the skin. It gives you a nice level of hydration but it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or with a film on it. It costs less than 10 and for me it is just a great allrounder that I staple, that I have in my skincare routine and just works for me every single day. It's a core component of my rotation and I absolutely love it. It's a very gentle cleanser with very few ingredients, so if you have very sensitive skin this could be a great option because fewer ingredients mean fewer things to interact in a negative way with the skin."
🏆 SKINCARE AWARDS 2025 - Worlds Best Skincare 2025
"The Jelly Joker cleanser is a nice gel-based cleanser. These are so affordable, so amazing, and they just get the job done. If you're someone that likes to double cleanse, you know, start with a balm, finish with a gel cleanser, these two are like the perfect double cleanse combination and you get a lot of product. Both of these are phenomenal depending on what type of cleanser you want. No matter what your skin type is, no matter how much makeup, SPF, or other things you're wearing on the skin, this will tackle it all."
TOP 10 SKINCARE EMPTIES 2023 - Best Skincare I Finished and 3 Skincare Fails
"I've been using this probably for the past 3 years and I love it. It's a great gel cleanser if you want something that's affordable, just does what it needs to, removes almost everything. It can struggle a little bit with water resistant SPF, so you might want to use it as part of a double cleanse, but generally it's really one of the best gel cleansers. I am knocking a few marks off because it is actually really hard to get out of here. If you have any issues in terms of dexterity or struggle with products that are quite hard to squeeze out, you might struggle with this. If they could tweak this a little bit to make it easier to actually squeeze out of the tube, that would widen everyone's experience with this. But an absolutely amazing product all the same."

BEST SKINCARE BRAND 2024 - Full Geek & Gorgeous Review
"Their Gel Cleanser is this one, the Jelly Joker Cleanser, again a great affordable pH balance cleanser. When it comes to cleansing, you don't want something that's too acidic or too alkaline. You want something that really matches the pH of the skin because if you start with a bit of a pH imbalance, you're kind of always going to be playing catchup with the rest of your products. Start with a nice gentle pH balanced cleanser and the rest of your routine will just go a little bit more smoothly. This is one of the most affordable pH balanced cleansers around. It's nothing groundbreaking, it's nothing particularly innovative or special, but it just works and I love that there's always a place in my heart for an affordable effective cleanser that doesn't promise the Earth, it just delivers. This is for me perfect so far as foaming action and feeling that the skin is really clean. It doesn't strip, it doesn't dry, and yeah, it's just for me, it's perfect."

"This is Jelly Joker. I absolutely love it. It's beautiful."
Approved
"The Jelly Joker is quite remarkable. The texture alone is just so next level and gives you that heightened cleansing experience, but this is also about as gentle as a water-based second step cleanser can be. It uses micellar water cleansing technology which really does blend gentleness and effectiveness at cleansing the skin. It's pretty much a micellar water cleanser but in the form of a luscious, thick gel. There's so much comfort in the thickness and how well this spreads on the skin. It makes you want to just stay and massage and keep cleansing. This does not foam, but when it rinses off it just leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and clean. It's surprisingly adept at removing long-wearing base makeup like a Stila Double Wear Foundation, although with water-resistant eye makeup not so much."
