What it is: A refreshing, lightly lathering gel cleanser to hydrate, nourish and prepare the skin for products that follow.

What it does: It contains the brand's proprietary TFC8®, a complex of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin that guide key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin cells to create an optimal environment for repair and renewal. Rose flower water is an organic flower water known primarily for its purifying and astringent properties that help tone and refine the complexion while strengthening its natural defenses against free-radical damage. Cucumber extract, a skin superfood high in proteins, lipids, vitamin C and a variety of minerals, has moisturizing, emollient and astringent properties to help calm stressed skin. Aloe vera leaf, a powerful humectant, hydrates, soothes and creates a protective barrier on the skin.

Great Product!

I found this product when looking for clean brands. I love this gel cleanser, it leaves my skin feeling clean and not dry. I also like that it doesn’t have a chemical or strong fragrant smell and I love that it comes in a glass bottle. This is definitely one of my favorite products from the AB brand. I would highly recommend. For reference: I’m 45 y/o with normal to dry skin.

Not for sensitive skin

Had big allergic reaction to the cream, but with this cleanses e reaction was light and mild. But still. Won’t be using again. Received this product for free and this review is honest

Just Ok

I tried The Cream Cleansing Gel after getting incredible results from The Rich Cream. I found it to be fairly effective, but not superb in any way. The scent is very similar to The Face Oil, which I find to be very unpleasant. Thankfully it dissipates quickly. I will finish this bottle, but am highly unlikely to repurchase. I much prefer La Mer’s The Cleansing Foam and RéVive’s Foaming Face Wash to this.

Pass

This will not cleanse premium makeup brands completely off. I ended up with acne from the product not cleaning enough. For a man who wears little to no makeup this is okay but not for a woman with a full face of makeup. Let alone higher end brands with skincare in them. Hard pass.

Great cleanser! Worth every penny!!

This is my favorite cleanser ever! The Bader Cream Cleansing Gel leaves my skin feeling clean, but never tight and dry. The consistency is brilliant! Get this cleanser, you won’t be disappointed. It’s worth every penny. It lasts forever.

Best cleansing gel ever!

I discovered Augustinus Bader during one of the most difficult periods for my skin. I was going through severe hormonal imbalance and intense stress, which left me with deep, painful breakouts across my face. After trying countless products, Augustinus Bader became the only brand that truly helped my skin recover🌷 Three years later, it’s still the only skincare brand I use consistently. I’ve never found another cleanser like The Cream Cleansing Gel. Instead of leaving my skin feeling tight or “squeaky clean,” it leaves it soft, hydrated, and somehow even healthier than before cleansing🌷 It effortlessly removes SPF, makeup 💄 , and even mascara without stripping my skin. That’s something I rarely experience with any cleanser. I recommend this brand to everyone who appreciates truly exceptional skincare, and I love gifting it to my friends because I genuinely trust it 💜 Thank you 🙏 for creating products that have made such a meaningful difference in my life🌷

This cleanser is expensive and

This cleanser is expensive and doesn’t remove eye makeup. I used it for a year and then used other brands. I returned to this product because it improves my skin in ways other products fell short

Interesting product

I have combination oily skin that tend to be dehydrated and is acne prone. I’m still getting used to this product because to me this is more cream like than a gel and to go the lather is tough. However I do like the product a lot for morning cleanse, not too stripping but still powerful enough. Nice texture, doesn’t dehydrate.

Nice

This cleanser is nice. But if I’m honest I’m not sure I’d repurchase separately. I purchased this product as a set. I absolutely love the rich cream and the essence, the cleanser is nice but personally I think I have nicer cleansers that are better value for money

My summer cleanser

During summer I like to use this cleanser. It has a gel texture (which I sometimes put in a fridge for that extra cooling sensation) which transforms into a creamy, light lather. I use it mainly to remove light makeup, spf and daily pollution. My skin feels refreshed, detoxified and soothed. I apply a little and it's enough for my whole face. I highly recommend it, suitable for all skin types.

Obsessed with AB

I love Augustinus Bader's skincare. I thought i would give the cleanser a try and i was not disappointed. It cleans the skin without stripping and feeling tight. My redness has reduced since using this cleanser. It seems to work even better when used with the other A B products
