Q: Can this effectively be used as the first cleanse in a double cleanse routine? I mean to remove makeup first and then cleansing again after with a different product?
submitted by Maren - 4 years ago
A: The Brightening Cleansing Gel can be used to in a two step cleansing regimen either as the first or second step. If using with an oil cleanser, we would recommend using the oil cleanser as the first step, followed by the Brightening Cleansing Gel.
submitted byACURE - 4 years agoBrand expertA: Hi Maren! Yes, this product can be used to remove makeup and in the first step of a double cleanse routine. Hope this helps!

Excellent cleanser!

Such a clean scent! Definitely feel like my skin is brighter. If you’re thinking of trying it, grab the scrub too! It’s a great pairing, and now I have a nice skincare routine.
Love it!

I like this brand & the face wash smells great. However, it was too drying for my skin and gave me red, dry splotches on my face. I have oily skin but this face wash is too harsh for me.
Happy with the purchase

I’ve used this cleanser for years, but am not a fan of the formulas for this or the moisturizer. Much stronger scents and feels harsher on my skin.

I would say this beats out all those overhyped cleansers on the market in the last 2 years. I bought them and they were not the best. Tried this one out of pure curiosity since I like their exfoliator. It takes off more makeup than the other myriad of cleansers I've tried (European, Korean, American) you name it. It also does brighten skin. I was on vacation and started using a sunscreen that made me break out a lot. I started getting little bumps, redness, and many small whiteheads on my face. I then I went and bought this cleanser and in 2 days all my breakouts and rough bumpy skin completely disappeared. I hd smooth clearand glowing skin in just 2 days!! It's my absolute favorite now, I use this and only this as my cleanser.
Same price half the product

Talk about shrinkflation. This used to be an 8-oz bottle for the same product. Now they are selling a "rebranded" product for the same price as we used to be able to purchase this product. This is the last straw with Acure. I won't be buying their products anymore.
It feels different

I have been using this cleansing gel for years now and recently got the newly designed bottle. The bottle says the formula is the same but it feels different when I use it, like it doesn't lather up the same way anymore. I'm so disappointed because this stuff is my favorite! I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep using it if it doesn't cleanse as well.
Please bring back the 12oz bottles

Love this product. Me and my wife both have been using this since last 3 years. but we dearly miss the 12oz bottles as we go through the 4oz ones under a month. It's a hassle to keep ordering it every month.
Recommend! But soapy.

I really like this face wash - it smells great, the ingredients are clean, and it hasn’t caused my skin to break out at all! You don’t need to use much, this wash lathers up a lot, which sometimes causes the soap/bubbles to get in my eyes, which is why this isn’t 5 stars. But I do recommend!

I've been using acure for soooo long I think it's time for me to become a sponsor 😂. This product is my holy grail. I went from not feeling confident in my skin at all, to adoring it a little more each day.
great! but bottle design could be better...

anna - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
this is really good for my acne prone sensitive skin but i wish the bottle was designed differently because it just really makes a lot come out all at once and a small amount goes a long way so therefore some of it gets wasted as you use too much per wash. but other than that it’s really good i love it and it’s great for my acne prone sensitive skin. i use twice a day!
I use this cleansing gel in my daily routine

This is an awesome skin care product. I always use this in my weekly skin care routine. Consistently maintains smooth skin texture and I notice a difference in brightening tone of my skin. The citrus scent is a breath of fresh air.
Acne prone skin beware!

Jw - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
This did not work for my combination skin. I found out I was pregnant so I decided to try this out as a ‘clean’ option. I haven’t really had acne for a number of years before this using this but the common denominator is while I was using it, I had more acne than I had in some time and it was ‘different’. I thought it could potentially be pregnancy related, but when I literally had the same breakouts for weeks (4+), I switched face washes as a last resort and now I’m back to normal. The acne that was sticking around for over a month is now gone. Really wanted this to work but if you have had a history of acne in the past I’d tread carefully. Note: I do also use a toner which typically helps but in this case did not. This wash just clogged my pores I think.
Great for sensitive skin

My favorite brand! I have super sensitive skin, along with living a more natural and holistic lifestyle and this brand really takes the cake! I do not get redness, breakouts, etc with this brand and recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin like me! This is no strong smell to it, there’s a slight smell but is is very pleasant.
I would not buy this again

I thought since alot of people are saying this brand was good i would give it a try , but for some reason after i rinse it off my face it starts to burn and turn red , im not sure if its just my skin that cant handle it.
Too gentle, sticky formula

Nat Sat - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
It’s too gentle. It doesn’t remove anything. Leave your skin feel moist, but what it really means is that it’s not cleansing properly. The formula is mysteriously sticky. I’d use simple dove soap over this.
