Product details
Web ID: 21584322Can’t get past the smell
The Sunday Riley Aquamarine Melt Hydrating Gel Balm Cleanser works really well for my skin. It leaves my face feeling soft, clean, and hydrated with no tightness. I like that it contains nourishing ingredients like squalane and soothing marine botanicals, which help keep my skin balanced. The packaging is beautiful and feels high-end, making it look great sitting on my counter. The biggest drawback for me is the scent. I just could not get past it, and I often dreaded using it because of that. It is a shame because the formula and results are impressive. Overall this is a 50/50 product for me. I love the way it works and the care that went into the ingredients and presentation, but the smell keeps me from enjoying it fully.

Smells like Flintstones vitamins
I love my Sunday Riley CEO and when I went to stock up, saw this product and bought it! My first reaction was that it smelt just like the Flintsones vitamins I would take growing up. After an extended trial time, I don’t love the feel of the product and feel like it doesn’t provide a nice cleanse. I feel like it take several pumps to break down my make up and I still can’t get past the vitamin smell. I had high hopes, but it’s just not a product for me!

Unfortunately disappointing
I received this product free in exchange for my review. I had high hopes for this cleanser but even after vigorously shaking and testing this product is definitely not worth the price. It comes out like it is just an oil with some bits of gel. It doesn’t emulsify very well and leaves an oily film behind. Appreciate the opportunity to try but this product needs some work. Very pretty packaging though!

Consistency is off
I was so excited about this cleanser, but was really sad when the consistency of it wasn’t like it seems in the images online. When I first received it clear oil was just coming out. After looking at reviews I realized that happened and had to shake it a ton to get it to mix together and it still wasn’t as anticipated. It does work well and I do love that it makes my face feel moisturized but definitely won’t purchase again.

Works fine for some makeup.
“I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.” This cleanser worked well taking off my natural look makeup. When I used it to take off a heavier full coverage foundation it didn’t work as well. I felt like it took much more to try to get off the entire product. I normally use bb cream and light make up so it works well for that. It leaves my skin soft. I rated it good as I feel it should have worked as well for heavier makeup.

Best cleanser I’ve tried!
I’ve used cream and balm cleansers, but this was my first gel cleanser. I really like that this gel cleaner is dispensed vs scooped out. It feels more sanitary and less of a hassle. I used it as the first step of my double cleansing routine and my skin looked amazing the next day. A little goes a long way and my makeup melted immediately. My only complaint ( and I’ve found this with ALL cleansers) is it removed most but not all of my makeup. I still needed to use a makeup wipe to fully remove everything.

Not for me
The packaging is pretty and appealing. The bottle was kind of hard to open. The actual product smelled so bad I didn’t even want to try it. When I did try it, it made my face feel so awful. It was way too oily and I almost couldn’t wash it off. It made my skin feel really gross and even after I washed my face again I could still smell the product. 10/10 do NOT recommend
