I’ve been using the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser for a while now and I’m genuinely impressed. It has this lovely jelly texture that melts onto the skin and cleanses everything without stripping or drying. My skin feels fresh, soft and comfortable after every wash. It removes makeup really well, and I love that it never leaves any tightness. My combination skin gets along with it perfectly, gentle, e NataKo · drunkelephant.co.uk
