Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

Rose water and a hydrating ingredient blend of glycerin, panthenol, allantoin, and hyaluronic acid make this cleanser stand out for those with dry or dehydrated skin seeking a dewy finish, and it's fragrance-free, which breaks from Glossier's usual scent choices. One expert found it an instant hit that defined the brand's appeal to a generation of beauty lovers. However, the rose scent itself divides opinion: those who love florals will appreciate it, while others may want to patch-test or pass if rose isn't their preference.

"Hyaluronic acid. I mean this has a really stellar ingredient list. Plus it's fragrance free which has always been one of my biggest gripes when it comes to Glossier products. [...] I definitely feel like this formula is more so targeted at people who have really dry, really dehydrated skin. They want that kind of glass skin, glowy, dewy look. [...] So if you're in the dry skin family, then I would say that you would probably enjoy this cleanser. But from a formulation perspective, love it."

"Not my favorite cleanser. It's nice. It's got that rose scent to it, though. I haven't used it for years. [...] Rose is not for me."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
