    "I'm currently using the Naturium Niacinamide Cleansing Gelée and it's one of my favorites. [...] I always make sure to have one face cleanser in the shower and then one face cleanser at my sink that way in the morning I can just quickly do it in the shower and at night time it's right there at the sink ready to go."

    "This is a formula that I could always rely on whenever my skin was going through the craziness of travel, different environments, whether it was dry or humid, whether my skin was breaking out or not. I could always rely on this formula to do a good job of cleansing without having to worry about it overly drying out my skin. This is not a formula that has bells and whistles as far as skincare ingredients goes. It's very simple but such a nice pleasant experience."

    "I used this constantly when I was traveling throughout this past year, it was always on the go with me, and I really enjoyed using it because I never felt like it stripped my skin but it always does a pretty solid job of cleansing my skin. I love that it includes niacinamide because that's one of my favorite ingredients, [...] and it's just consistently good, I never have to worry about my skin breaking out or not being cleansed enough."

    "This cleanser is so good, it's just really really good. I've used this in humid environments, I've used it in dry environments, I've used it across every area of my skin, and every time I am always satisfied with how well this works. It does an amazing job of being gentle while still cleansing at a good level."
    ✓Yay
    "A slightly more focused cleanser, which is thankfully not stripping anyway cuz it is nice to leave on your skin for a little bit kind of like a mask, especially when you have actives in it. So, so gentle, niacinamide balancing things out a little bit. I just love this. Again, another everyday cleanser that I'd happily use morning and night, which I do when the weather gets hotter and my oily combination skin becomes more oily."

    I've Been Spraying Chlorine On My Face? + Other Skincare I've Been Loving
    "This cleanser in particular also never leaves my skin feeling dry. Usually after coming out the shower I have to up the hydration levels and the moisture levels because my skin feels tight and dry, but that never happens with this cleanser. I do actually have two other empties of this and the one in the shower is nearly empty, so I technically have five empties of this product. I love it so much. I buy these myself, they're not always gifted. I purchase these with my own money as well."

    "This does a really good job and it performs just as good as a cleansing balm or a cleansing oil. It is very gentle, it's fragrance free, it does not strip the skin and it lathers quite nicely. I remove my makeup and sunscreen with this and then once I rinse my face off, I go back in with this to double cleanse my skin to ensure that my skin is really clean. I do that in my night time routine and sometimes I will use this in my morning as well and I keep this in my shower."

I'm actually almost done this, this has been my go-to cleanser since the fall basically, and I love it because it's not stripping but it does a really good job to cleanse the skin. So if you have any leftover makeup or sunscreen like the residue from the first cleanse, this ensures that your skin is super clean prior to going in with your skincare products."

    "I have my niacinamide cleansing gel three percent which is actually my favorite one to keep in the shower. [...] I know that I'm gonna be able to get all of my makeup off if I need to with this cleanser. I like to have one that is trusty that you know you can get everything off. [...] The other reason why I keep one of these in my shower at all times is because sometimes I decide I want to use it as a body wash."

    What the evidence says.

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

    Vitamin C

    Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    Source: DermNet

    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.
