Product Description
100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser is a vegan jelly cleanser that employs a blend of brightening fruit extracts to enliven dull skin, balancing the complexion, and gently strip away impurities. Lemon, Strawberry, and Goji Berry supply vitamin C and Ellagic Acid to gently strip away dullness and impurities. Aloe Vera and Konjac Plant create a bouncy, jelly-like texture and help maintain essential hydration.
It's critical to wash your face, not just to remove makeup ( never sleep with makeup on ), but also to remove excess oil and pollutant debris that accumulates. This allows your skin to get the most out of the rest of the products you use after that.
The key here is to only use a gentle cleanser that does the job without stripping or irritating the skin. The best cleansers contain replenishing ingredients that help to maintain the skin's delicate barrier. Because of how drying and damaging they are to the skin's surface, bar soaps, bar cleansers, and abrasive scrubs are the worst cleansers. If you want to feel extra clean, use a soft washcloth in conjunction with your cleanser.
I won a 100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser and Jelly Jelly Scrub from a giveaway hosted by 100% Pure Singapore back in December 2021 where I also happened to be buying some of their Vitamin C products.
100% Pure used to be one of my favourite brands where I have tried several of their products from 2010 to 2016 but formulation and packaging kept changing together with their increasing prices where I can no longer keep up to, and I have to relook elsewhere.
I adore their products which smelled so good, worked well on my sensitive skin and each was a lovely sensorial experience. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with 100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser since my finicky skin type can never take well to most cleansers in the market so I was surprised that I actually emptied this jelly cleanser.
Made in USA, All 100% PURE™ formulations adhere to strict purity standards and will never contain harsh or toxic ingredients. Their pigments are sourced from fruit, vegetables, tea, and cocoa to avoid commonly used FD&C colorants and heavy metal dyes while their products will always be certified cruelty-free.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser is housed in a 118.3ml clear plastic bottle with a spritz dispenser that has a twist-lock mechanism. The pink jelly-like contents are so lovely, and the scent is so fruity and uplifting, that I look forward to cleansing every day.
How To Use :
1) Pump onto clean hands; add warm water and rub hands together to create a light lather.
2) Gently massage in circular motions over the face and neck.
3) Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Performance and Ingredients
I didn't foresee myself using 100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser right to the last drop when I first opened up the bottle as there was a subtle taut sensation on skin during initial use. I wasn't surprised since most cleansers were like that for my finicky skin type.
Adding on, the lathering was very light with suds and felt so watery that I almost wonder if this might be too gentle for effective cleansing. However, I persisted in using it as I enjoyed the scent and it always left my skin soft and very smooth.
1/4 down the bottle, the jelly cleanser became less watery and more jelly so it seems like you probably need to shake the bottle before use, though it wasn't mentioned any where on the bottle or website. The subtle taut sensation was gone and I can continue using the cleanser.
In fact, my bottle of contents don't even look like the illustration in the picture above as mine wasn't that full to the brim and it was watery at the top, which explained why the initial use was so watery.
Nearer to the last 10% of the contents, the jelly texture became more difficult to be dispensed and I had to unscrew the cap and "hard-flick" or "dig" out the contents for use.

Conclusion
To conclude, 100% Pure Strawberry Lemonade Jelly Cleanser has been a surprising find, with its gentle lathering, beautiful colour, uplifting fruity scent while leaving my skin so soft and smooth. It is also natural, vegan, cruelty free and gluten-free.
However, in terms of brightening effects, I have yet to see any and the price is on the high side which I can't justify paying $51 for a cleanser that will only be on my skin for 5 minutes. I used to be able to splurge on cleansers and my most expensive cleansing milk was $85 which I purchased twice - imagine that amount going to copious of cleansers instead of just 2. LOL
However, if you have the means, go for it, why not? Life is meant to be enjoyed, and every now and then we need to unwind and indulge. After all, isn't that what we work so hard for?
