I first came across GoW when I was active in a local forum where the forumers rave about the brand. It was only several years later that I finally decided to purchase them.
This gentle cleansing gel is from the cleanser starter pack I purchased. I was looking around for a gentle cleanser and thought GoW cleansers may fit the bill.

It comes in a tiny pot with a spatula included which I did not use as I will usually wash my hands before cleansing my face. The pot may look tiny but it lasts me for close to 2 weeks usage on a nightly basis. I prefer to use new cleansers at night, for fear of adverse reactions. At least I still have a night to recover from it.

This Gentle Cleansing Gel has a light citrus scent and the texture is unlike the normal cleansers I used before. It is jelly gel when its in the pot. Once it gets into contact with water, the texture becomes a runny form and is very lightweight in texture. The contents just feels watery on the skin.

It is indeed very gentle and mild, so much so that I wonder if it cleanses well. But my worries are unfounded as the toner did not pick up any horrible remnants but do note that I use a make-up remover to remove my make-up before cleansing.

There were no redness and drying after-feel. I also tried using on a dry face to create a better cleansing experience ( since its so watery ) and it also works well though the recommended method is to use on damp skin. My overall experience has been pleasant but not fantastic because I found it to be too mild for my likes.

It scored 5 from 2 users on Makeupalley.
