Drunk ElephantMello Marula Cream Cleanser - 150 ml/5 fl oz - Calming Face Wash - Clean Clinical Skincare - Cruelty-Free - Dermatologist-Tested - Free of Essential Oils, Silicones, and Fragrance

The creamy cleanser is luxurious and leaves my skin soft, clean , and moisturized.

Did not disappoint!

SO thrilled with this. I have extremely sensitive skin and this has been amazing for every day use.

I love oatmeal products for my dry, sensitive skin. This product did not disappoint either. It is more of a cream rather than foaming cleanser si it feels different at first. However, it does the cleaning job very well and does not irritate the skin. I follow it with a moisturizing serum and another oat based moisturizer if i feel my skin especially dry that day an it works like magic.

Does this product work: yes it does. Is it worth the price? I don't think it is. Let me say that I have normal/dry skin with some hyperpigmentation. I used this product at night (as directed) and the results weren't any different than my other cream based face washes. I know Drunk Elephant is the holy grail for some people and their skin care. The colloidal oatmeal might help those with skin irritation, and the marula is a nice feel. Again, my face felt the same after washing off makeup and my day with this compared to my CeraVe cream based cleanser and my Thayers cleanser. For this fact alone I can't justify spending up to 40.00 on something that a 5-10 bottle works just as well as. So while I will continue to use this, it is not on my favorites list for the price alone. Again, if you have different skin issues it might be different for you, I just can't give it 5 stars where there are other more affordable options that do just as well

There was no wrapper around the manufacturing b0x but thankfully there was foil seal underneath the lid. It is described as low lather but I didn't really experience that. I tried the cleanser on a dry face and a damp/wet face. I liked it much better on a damp face. It was smooth cream like a lotion with a bit of oil. I was able to massage around my face for a while since it stays slick to maneuver. When I used it on a dry face, the cream dried up in the middle of massaging. It felt like scrubbing with bare fingers against a dry face. I noticed a slight tingle with this cleanser. Not a rare occurrence for my skin, especially since I’m on retinol. No irritation or redness after I rinse though.It took me a little longer to rinse off this cream cleanser compared to my usual Curel foaming cleanser. To be fair, Curel is very lightweight. Mello Marula had this slippery feeling (more noticeable on dry face application) but once I rinsed it off completely, my face felt clean. No stickiness, no residue. My skin wasn’t as moisturized or soft as I expected. I guess I assumed marula oil would be more moisturizing. The cleanser has a light scent of vanilla oats. Sweetish. It was made in the USA with global ingredients. It’s good for 12 months after opening. My eyes might have skimmed over it but I couldn’t find the expiration date.Would I repurchase? No. However, I would still recommend it since I can see this being good for others. There’s really nothing wrong with this cleanser (besides a little expensive). It comes down to personal preference. Scent is tolerable. Formula feels gentle. Rinsing experience was ok and my face felt clean. Cream cleansers in general just aren’t for me it seems, or maybe I just haven’t found my perfect one. I have been trying to get into them the past year since my skin is quite sensitive and dry in areas. It’s supposed to be good for my skin type.

The Drunk Elephant Mello Marula Cleanser promises a gentle and effective cleanse, and it delivers. This low-lather cream cleanser is a great option for removing makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime without stripping the skin. This cleanser truly lives up to its "ultra-gentle" claim. It's incredibly mild and non-irritating, making it a great option for those with easily sensitized skin. Once lathered it smells similarly to other oatmeal-based moisturizers I’ve used. You can feel how it is gentle on your skin, and it leaves your skin feeling soft and not stripped. I would say this is a good option for dry skin, I would not recommend for oily skin.Overall, the Drunk Elephant Mello Marula Cleanser is a solid choice for those seeking a gentle and hydrating cleanser, particularly if they have sensitive or dry skin. Its effectiveness in removing makeup and daily impurities without stripping the skin makes it a worthwhile investment.

I have dry skin. So I will usually use an oil or creamy makeup remover on my face, then jump in the shower and use my face wash to get the rest of dirt and makeup. I’ve been using the Tatcha face wash and while that didn’t make my skin feel stripped, it did not remove the makeup.I was still getting a lot of makeup on my cotton when applying my toner.Now enter this cleanser. I still use ny oily makeup remover prior to washing with this. And when I tone, the cotton is completely makeup free. Best part my skin isn’t stripped. I feel “squeaky” clean with minimal dryness. And it didn’t break me out. Also the cleanser has a light pleasant scent to it. Not over powering. Definitely worth a try if youre dealing with dry skin.
