    What the gurus are saying

    Gel cleansers sit in the sweet spot between foaming and cream formulas, and this one foams like a traditional cleanser but avoids harshness and stripping. That balance comes from ten types of hyaluronic acid paired with ceramides and red grape extract, all formulated at low pH for reduced irritation. Foam it on your hands with a little water first to prevent any dry feeling.

    "It's gentle on the skin. This contains 10 different weights of hyaluronic acid as well as ceramides and it just has that really lush soothing gel texture that I love. It slightly foams, I like to call it a milky lather because it really is quite gentle, so it's non-stripping, but it's one of those cleansers that just soothes and hydrates as you cleanse. So after cleansing your skin just does not feel dry or tight."

    "Gel cleansers as a category sit in this perfect in between for me, they are not as harsh and stripping as foaming cleansers but you do still get some foaming, and they're not quite a cream or milk cleanser either. It's a really good in between. This particular cleanser is formulated at a low pH to be less irritating for your skin. It contains ten different types of hyaluronic acid and antioxidant rich red grape extract, and it's formulated to remove makeup and impurities."

    What the evidence says.

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

    Ceramides

    Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

    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.
