What the gurus are saying

Real green tea bits suspended in a bouncy jelly are the fun part, but the gentle, low pH, non-stripping feel is why this cleanser earns praise. It lathers lightly, lifts makeup and oil, and leaves skin comfortable rather than parched. The catch is season: it can feel slightly drying in fall and winter, so it suits oily to normal skin best, and works well as a morning cleanser.

"This one is geared towards oilier to normal skin. [...] It does a good job removing makeup for the most part and works as a second step cleanser or a morning cleanser. It has a light lather, not too foamy, and does a nice job removing makeup or any oil or if you use a mask. It does a really nice job and it doesn't leave your skin feeling too dry or parched afterwards. There's some cleansers that really can leave your skin feeling dry and flaky afterwards and this is not one of them."

"This one is great for spring and summer. I don't use it so much in the fall and winter because I do find it just slightly drying. So if you have very oily skin though, their onion line cleanser is also really nice and very foamy. This one's slightly just a little bit lathery but not nearly as lathery as the other ones I mentioned."

"It's supposed to help prevent oiliness and help absorb oil on the skin. [...] It's nice, I use this one more during the spring and summer, it's a little bit too much for me during the winter since my skin's already dry, but this one is a really nice option, pretty affordable, and this whole line from Isntree is wonderful. They've got some really nice lines out there which are great."

"I've always liked this cleanser. This actually is really a phenomenal cleanser, it's got a fun element to it, you can see the green tea in the product, it is remarkably not stripping. This is truly a cleanser where I think every skin type would enjoy it, but it still does foam up, which a lot of people struggle to find in cleansers that are completely non-foaming. It's non-stripping, it cleanses skin thoroughly, it checks every box for what you need in a cleanser."

"I want to love it, but it's just not right for my skin type. That said, I would not hesitate to recommend this for oily skin types. [...] The green tea line from Isntree really is geared towards controlling oil on oily skin types, and I feel like the cleanser is no exception. This is definitely gentle, definitely a low pH respectful type of cleanser. There's not stripping ingredients in here. The texture is more of a jelly, bouncy type of texture with real green tea bits in it."

"Because of the more hydrating aspects of this cleanser, I love to use it as a morning cleanser as opposed to a nighttime cleanser and use something a little bit more oriented towards my oily skin at night. But whenever you want to use it, it totally works. Such a good cleanser with a good simple formula that really works for any skin type, but especially if you're wanting to boost the glow within your skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
