I asked on Instagram Stories if anyone wanted a review of this cleanser and the response was positive so here we go!
Indie Lee is an American brand that has a focus on natural ingredients and sustainability. Indie herself overcame a life-threatening brain tumour in 2009, and decided to start a cruelty-free, natural, toxin-free brand.
This is my first purchase from the brand, and I've been really enjoying it. A light gel cleanser that is paraben-free, sulphate free and artificial fragrance free, it also boasts an extremely and refreshingly short ingredients list:
Water, Sodium Olivate (Fatty Acid from Olive), Glycerin, Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil, Chondrus Crispus, Eriobotrya Japonica Extract
That's it, nothing more and nothing less. No arm-length list of ingredients that are bewildering for most people and a pain to research. The key ingredient is rosehip oil, which has a wide range of benefits such as soothing stressed skin, improving moisture levels and helping to calm redness and rosacea.
This cleanser is seriously light and refreshing, and for that reason I prefer it as a morning cleanse. The scent is faint. I've been using this for over a month and it's become a firm favourite - I apply to dry skin, massage in, add some water, massage again and rinse. It does have the slightest foam, but it's nothing like SLS cleansers that foam instantly on contact with water. It's refreshing and light on the skin, cleansing away the nights debris and any left over night products leaving my skin feeling soft, awake and fresh.
I do suffer from some redness around my jawline, and although it's mostly been taken of care of by using glycolic acid, I do feel like this cleanser is contributing to keeping my skin calm.
You don't need any more than two pumps for the face and neck, and you get just over 118ml. I have just over half my bottle left, and I will be sad to finish it. The packaging gets 10/10 - nice pump, frosted glass. Simple and chic.
If you're in the market for a light, morning gel cleanser that is cruelty-free, leaping bunny certified, natural and paraben free I can't recommend this enough. I'm not someone who needs all of my products to be natural and organic (I like a few chemicals😂) but I know some of you are eager to use these types of brands. While many such brands can be extremely expensive, Indie Lee isn't - it's not cheap but neither is it super expensive. I got this cleanser on sale for around €14, and it retails on Cult Beauty for £30. This isn't a make-up removing cleanser - this is a skin cleanser. It cleanses, calms and soothes and I really love it.
Would I buy it again? Yes. But first I want to get my hands on the Brightening Cleanser and CoQ-10 Toner from the brand - I've loved this cleanser so much that I now want to try more, and that's surely a sign of how good it is!
