5 Elements Cleanser - 2% Glycolic Acid Non-Drying Face & Body Wash. Coconut Derived, Vegan, Preservative Free, Non Lathering - 8 oz

This cleanser is great and I don't want to switch from it; I remember seeing someone comment about stock issues when I bought it and hoped it wouldn't be an issue :(I love that this cleanser has minimal ingredients and still works very effectively at keeping my skin clear thanks to the glycolic acid. It's also not too harsh, so I can use it 2x daily. It has a light coconut smell which is pleasant, and it makes my skin feel hydrated and clean after I use it. I follow up with Vit C serum in the mornings and Niacinamide serum + tretinoin in the evenings and this cleanser is the perfect compliment to my routine. My skin is fairly sensitive and I did not even have an adjustment period with this product.Please restock it!

I have used this product for years and love how gentle it is. My skin is sensitive to most things and I’m glad to have found an affordable option I can rely on. The scent is mostly neutral (its natural scent is gone as soon as it is washed off) and doesn’t strip my face of all its oils, which is important to me. I think the creator of this product has respect for the microbiome and simple-yet-effective skincare. Thanks, Create!

I continue to repurchase. I use it primarily for my body, but occasionally use on my face as well. It's gentle and effective. LOVE.4 stars only because this one came with a defective pump and I had to salvage my old pump bottle from the garbage and switch it out in order to use. :((

This stuff is great. It takes off all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It is one of the only cleansers I could find that have good acne-fighting incredients without all the all bad stuff in it. Highly recommend to anyone with acne who’s looking for a better alternative to drugstore and chemically heavy cleaners. The reason i gave it three stars is because it goes out of stock so regularly and for long periods of time. This time it’s been out of stock for over two months, so I can’t rely on this as my daily cleanser and have to go back to something i know I can get when I need it.

I have been using this face wash since March of this year. After having a baby my skin has become more sensitive as well as gone from oily to combination. So face washes I would use before such as products with salicylic acid would now dry the crap out of my face . This face wash is the perfect balance. It has enough glycolic acid to exfoliate my skin without destroying my moisture barrier. That 2% of glycolic acid is literally the golden amount because it tackles my blemishes as well as lighten hyperpigmentation. On top of it only having 5 ingredients and no sulfates (ohhh and being fungal acne safe) this has been a dream cleanser . Pleaseee never discontinue this face wash. I buy this in bulk 3–4 at a time because every now and then they sell out and don’t restock for 2-3 months .

I happened to stumble upon this cleanser when I was searching for products that are safe to use when pregnant. If I don't use some kind of chemical exfoliation I get acne, but unfortunately the majority of those products are not proven safe for pregnancy. Glycolic acid is one of the few acids approved by my dermatologist, however, the majority of glycolic acid cleansers also contain BHAs/AHA's or salicylic acid (it's often not even advertised but hidden in the ingredient list). This cleanser is one of the few purely glycolic acid cleansers I've found. It also doesn't have any added fragrance, parabens, phthalates, etc. It is very gentle but at the same time effective! Please, never change 5 elements cleanser, you're my only hope.

I am happy with this product and will purchase again! I have struggled with adult acne for years and am so glad I discovered this product. I have very sensitive skin and this product works well with my skin (I think I have bacterial acne where certain oils and ingredients were food for the bacteria). I think my skin is sensitive to a lot of ingredients that for many years I thought would be good for it. I really love the simplicity in this formula. It cleans out my pores (literally) and my face feels clean after use (fresh, but not too dry). I am no longer getting deep painful acne. I follow up with other very simple products and in fair disclosure also am taking vitamins daily as well as gave up dairy. This trifecta of new product routine, supplements, and dietary change seems to be working. I am so happy my skin is FINALLY healing.

My normal face wash was not being made anymore. So I was looking for something with the same ingredients or close to it, and found this. I’m glad I took a chance to try it! It’s a pretty good face wash! I have super sensitive skin, so it kind of dried my skin out a little at first, but after 2 weeks my face is used to it and it has cleared up my moderate acne pretty good! It’s not a miracle soap, I still have a few bumps here and there, but they aren’t as big/irritated as before and they heal/go away quicker, so this is a keeper in my book and I will continue to use it!
