    What the gurus are saying

    Manuka honey and a hydrating formula leave skin noticeably more hydrated after washing, gurus call this almost unheard of in the market. The honey helps prevent acne-causing bacteria while calming and soothing, making it work for acne-prone and sensitive skin alike. Reviewers especially recommend it for dry types who typically struggle with gel cleansers. It's versatile: use it on dry skin to remove makeup or on wet skin as a second cleanse.

    Over 50 with Dry, Sensitive Skin? I Tested 10 Cleansers—Only 3 Made the Cut!
    "This is by PSA Skin. It's their reset cleanser. It has acacia manuka honey. 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? Every once in a while you just have to reach for something that you know nothing about. This is a beautiful cleanser. 10 out of 10. Love it."
    Yay
    "If you have a dryness prone skin type and you're thinking there is never going to be a gel cleanser for me, think again. 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. It feels elegant and again doesn't need to break the bank which I think is something really special. This is like cleansing with a purpose particularly if you've got a dryness prone skin type. This is definitely going to be for you."

    "This is the PSA Skin Reset Cleanser. On the luxury end of the spectrum, I say luxury but this isn't actually break the bank expensive. It's still within the reach of a lot of people, but this is what I have for my ultimate luxury. It lathers to perfection, it gives the best clean you're ever going to experience, and it's packed full of Manuka Honey which calms, soothes, and deeply nourishes. I think this is the best cleanser I've ever tried. It's definitely a little bit of a pick-me-up, a luxury feeling product that I absolutely love. And I did manage to get a discount code for this one that saves 20 percent."

    "This is the PSA Reset Cleanser, this is like the sister company to Allies of Skin. This one is slightly more affordable but still just as luxurious. I use these two interchangeably. It's got Manuka honey in which I think is the star performer here. You will not find a richer more luxurious cleanser than this one. I absolutely love it."
    NEXT LEVEL CLEANSERS - Get The Best Skin (Prevent Blackheads)
    "The product I always recommend is the PSA Skin Reset Cleanser. It's got Manuka honey in it which has anti-microbial effects minimizing the risk of acne-causing bacteria. It also calms, soothes and nourishes. It's beautifully hydrating, it glides on like velvet, it makes you feel like you're at the spa, and for that I'm always happy to break out a few extra pounds in order to buy this. The color alone when it sits on the vanity it's the one I want to reach for every single morning and the formulation is absolutely divine. Do you need this? Absolutely not. But if you want some extra luxury in your life, I do think this is a wonderful option that actually delivers extra for the extra coin you're spending."

    "This is the reset cleanser and it has AAI and Manuka honey. Manuka honey is antimicrobial, great if you've got oily acne-prone skin, but actually would work on all skin types."
    Yay
    "I've purchased this one probably close to 10 times. It's the PSA Reset Nourishing Cleanser with AAI and manuka honey. This stuff's really nice, no scent to it. You can use it as a one-step makeup remover cleanser or you can use it as an evening cleanser. If you use it on wet skin you can use it either way, and it gives you a little bit of a light lather to it, which is really nice. It does struggle a little bit with strong heavy eye makeup, but otherwise for sunscreen and things like that it does a great job."

    "Out of all of these it's probably the one I've purchased the most. I think I'm on my fourth bottle and I have two backups. What I love about this is you can use it as a makeup remover for reasonable makeup, like foundation and powder and sunscreen it does a great job. You just put it on dry skin, smooth over your skin for 30 or 40 seconds and then rinse it off, or you can put it on damp skin as a second step cleanser or just a general cleanser like in the morning and it does a great job. It's pretty affordable. I repurchase it the most, so that says a lot because I'm very harsh on cleansers. I will say the first five or six times I tried this I didn't like it but now I absolutely love it."

    "I've also been loving this one for a long time. It's very nourishing and hydrating, has vanilla in there, and this is one I keep in my shower and it does a pretty good job removing things. It's also very gentle, so if there's a day where my skin is feeling dry or sensitive I use this one with a Foreo cleanser and it does a great job."

    Amazing August Skincare & Beauty Product Empties - What I've Finished This Month!
    "I love this cleanser so so so much, it's so versatile. You can apply it to dry skin, it'll take off makeup and sunscreen, or you can almost use it like a second step cleanser after regular cleanser, use it on wet skin and it's amazing. I just sat down and reordered two more bottles of it because I love it so much. The first couple weeks I tried this I hated it, I think I probably even did a video on how much I hated this cleanser, and then that just goes to show you know what, two weeks isn't enough. You gotta keep trying things unless you have a reaction or something, but keep trying things."
    Yay
    "I loved it. I thought it was great. I kept it in the shower and I finished it up and I thought it was great. I think this is a great alternative if you're looking for something. I think this is really good for a second cleanse or a shower cleanse if you're just going to go for one."

    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.
