What the gurus are saying

A cleanser that leaves skin feeling more hydrated after washing than before is rare, and this creamy manuka honey formula earns that praise again and again. It works on damp or dry skin, lifts foundation and sunscreen as a one-step remover or a second cleanse, and stays gentle on sensitive and dry skin. Stubborn eye makeup is where it struggles, though plenty of gurus are on their fourth bottle or more.

    "This is a beautiful cleanser. It's a creamy cleanser. It just leaves my skin super hydrated. Absolutely no irritation. If you have sensitive skin, dry skin, this is an amazing cleanser. A wonderful new find. Absolutely love it. Super surprised. I didn't have any hope for it and I didn't even think I was going to try it because it just isn't something I've heard about and I wanted to review cleansers that you may have heard about kind of some of the popular more trending ones. But you know what?"

    "Try the PSA Reset Cleanser. This is phenomenal. It's packed full of Manuka honey, which is really going to hydrate, nourish, calm, and soothe, and so many other hydrators. This is one of those cleansers that actually leaves your skin feeling more hydrated after you've washed it than before. That's almost unheard of in the cleanser market. And so, if you have a more dryness prone skin type and you want to have an effective gel cleanser, then the PSA reset any anytime. It feels luxurious."

    What the evidence says.

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

    Alpha hydroxy acids

    Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
