Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser

Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser has achieved cult status with its unique gel-to-milk texture and gentle yet effective cleansing. The bouncy, jelly-like consistency is fun to use and transforms to a milky lather upon contact with water. The pH-balanced formula contains rose water, comfrey root extract, and poloxamer for gentle cleansing that removes makeup and impurities without stripping. The cleanser is suitable for all skin types, from dry to oily, and is particularly beloved by those with sensitive or easily irritated skin. The formula is conditioning rather than drying, leaving skin soft and comfortable after cleansing. The subtle rose scent is pleasant without being overwhelming. However, the milky jelly texture is polarizing—some love the unique feel while others find it odd or slippery. The cleanser struggles with heavy makeup and waterproof formulas, requiring a first cleanse with an oil or micellar water. The price point is higher than drugstore cleansers for a relatively simple formula. The pump dispenser in the larger bottle is convenient, though the iconic tube is cuter. Overall, it's a solid gentle cleanser that delivers on the Glossier brand promise of simple, effective skincare.
