REVIEW: Annmarie Gianni Skin Care Aloe-Herb Cleanser


Goal: To find a natural facial cleanser that removes my makeup without burning my eyes, and won't break me out.
Brand: Annmarie Gianni Skin Care
Product: Aloe-Herb Cleanser
Description: This creation is a gentle and cleansing blend of healing herbs and plants. It’s pH balanced to enhance your skin’s natural acid mantle and protect its moisture barrier for clean and silky-soft skin. My cleanser is gentle. It removes dirt, oils and dead skin with no harsh detergents, leaving your skin clean, nourished, and soft! My unique blend of oil and extracts contains essential fatty acids, similar to those produced by your skin. It’s rich in antioxidants like vitamin E to help prevent and repair free radical damage. The aloe vera in this cleanser not only soothes your skin, but also helps synergize the ingredients in the formula. The complete relationship between herbs, oils and aloe enhances the benefits of this cleanser to leave your face clear and smooth.
Ingredients: Love, organic aloe vera juice infused with organic herbs (lavender flowers, calendula flowers, life everlasting flowers, hyssop, lemon balm, neem leaf, olive leaf, plantago leaf ); organic coconut oil; cocoglucoside (coconut oil & glycerine); organic vegetable glycerine; aspen bark extract; organic ruby grapefruit oil; organic lemon oil; organic green mandarin oil; xanthan gum; organic rosemary oleoresin.

  • The GG's Final Thoughts: This is by far one of the best skincare lines I've ever used... and I've used A LOT! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this smells so much to the point that I actually can't wait to use it first thing in the morning and after a long day! I also generally don't like creamy cleansers, but I find myself leaning towards them more and more lately. This one is sooo aromatic and calming, and it's not greasy or heavy. I noticed a difference the very first time I used this, and continue to each time. You know how some products eventually hit a plateau? Well that hasn't happened yet! My FAVE way to use this is with the Annmarie Ayurvedic Facial Scrub. At first I struggled with the fact that I couldn't get it to remove my makeup at all... BUT, after some advice of putting it on a dry cotton ball along with the scrub (you really can use the scrub on your eyes) it worked for the most part... I'm still playing around with this method though... still sometimes have a teensy-weensy bit of eye makeup residue left, but it's rare. I have to admit I didn't think I was going to like these products at all... I thought they may be a little too earthy / hippie smelling for me- but I was totally blown away! I say if you have the money, this is totally worth the splurge! You cannot beat the purity, the quality & the effectiveness of the ingredients. Thanks Annmarie! xo
