Electrogel Cleanser

Colette Haydon, the creator of this brand, is also known for developing products for wonderful brands such as Ren and Jo Malone, so I really wanted to give Lixirskin a shot.

This was admittedly not a love at first use product, but I've found myself using the Electrogel Cleanser every evening and enjoying it a little more each time.

I do double cleanse, so I use this after my makeup has already been thoroughly removed (shout out to my favorite product ever, the Farmacy Green Clean Balm!) so I cannot say whether or not this is effective with makeup removal. There is no lather with this, just a super creamy and thick lotion-like product with a very intense herbal scent. I like to apply to my dry skin, then use wet fingers to massage it in and then leave it on for a minute or two before removing with my Konjac sponge.

After rinsing, my skin feels super hydrated and clean and balanced. I really love this line of products for how laid back and intuitive it is and I will continue to use the Electrogel.

Not sure if it cleanses the skin. I feel like it’s more of a hydrating mask. It just smells so good.

I love this cleaser when i can use it for everything on my face, eyes and my mouth. The water proof mascara should be removed with oil based eye makeup remover if you dont want to rub your eyelash too much. Don’t get me wrong that you cannot use this cleanser for waterproof make up, you can, but i dont like the idea about rubing your eyes areas too much that can cause wrinkles. I deducted 1 star as i have to buy face cleansing cloth. By the way, my pores are so fraky clean without dring or greasy at all. Perfect for my dry skin.

I purchased this as a cream cleanser. It works well after I’ve exfoliated, but it leaves a film—hence the mask thing. I haven’t found it to be that beneficial for my skin type, which is dry-combo, sensitive, and acne prone.
