Collection: Cleansing Gels

Face cleansing gels are fresh, light cleansers that wash away dirt, oil and leftover makeup and leave your skin feeling clean without a heavy film. They are a great everyday choice for the morning, and in the evening they work well as the second step after a cleansing balm or oil. At Glamu you will find gentle low pH gels, mildly acidic formulas and gels with salicylic acid, so there is an option for every skin mood.

Gentle low pH gels for every day

Low pH cleansers are made to stay close to the natural pH of the skin, which is why many people find them comfortable for daily use. The COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml is a mild gel for morning and evening that cleanses without a dry feel, and the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser 100ml is a mildly acidic gel cleanser with a low pH, designed to cleanse without disturbing the skin barrier.

Soft gels with a light foam

Some gels turn into a soft foam when you add water. The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel 100ml has a pH of about 5.5 and fermented black rice extract, and it helps remove impurities and makeup for everyday cleansing.

Gels with salicylic acid for shiny skin

If your skin gets shiny during the day, a gel with salicylic acid can help it feel fresher. The COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml gently cleanses away impurities and excess oil without drying the skin out. You can find more acid-based options in Acid Cleansers, and if you prefer a fluffier texture, take a look at Cleansing Foams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cleansing gel and a cleansing foam?

A cleansing gel has a clear, jelly-like texture and usually feels light and refreshing, while a foam cleanser creates a richer lather. Both wash the face with water; the choice mostly depends on which texture you enjoy and how your skin feels afterwards.

What does a low pH cleanser mean?

A low pH cleanser has a slightly acidic pH, closer to that of the skin's surface. Many people find low pH cleansers comfortable because they leave the skin feeling clean without feeling tight.

Can I use a cleansing gel in the morning?

Yes, a gentle cleansing gel is a lovely way to start the day, as it washes away oil and leftover night cream. In the evening you can use it on its own or after a cleansing balm or oil if you wear makeup or sunscreen.

Is a salicylic acid cleanser good for oily skin?

Many people with oily or combination skin like salicylic acid cleansers because they help remove excess oil. Start by using it once a day, follow the instructions on the product and use sunscreen during the day.
