Brand and their Philosophy
CelleClé Skincare is a California, USA based skincare brand that launched April 2016

Ingredients
Green Clay | Eases the removal of polluted surface impurities with a high absorption capacity, helping to detoxify and purify while remineralizing the skin.
Niacinamide | A multifunctional form of Vitamin B3 that restructures the epidermal barrier, energizes skin tone and increases firmness and radiance, adding to the skin's youthful look and feel.
DexPanthenol | Pro-Vitamin B5 normalizes the skin's moisture levels and increases water retention, while instantly smoothing fine lines and other signs of surface aging.
Cotton Stem Cells | By protecting the skin's vital cells from the aging effects of urban pollution, inflammation and dehydration are reduced, while firmness, suppleness and moisture are increased.
Shea Butter | This luxurious butter, rich in cinnamic and oleic acid, is one of the world's best all natural moisturizers, which helps to soften and protect skin by preventing further moisture loss.

Color, Texture, Consistency
Pale greenish color with pearly hues, this smooth, creamy, light weight cleanser is neither too dense nor heavy. It has a fluffy, mouse consistency.
Scent
The cleanser has a very earthy medicinal scent with hint of some herbs. Honestly, not my favorite scent, but I can live with it. The scent disapates quickly. They have avoided using any artificial fragrance and that explains the natural scent.
Application
I have used it both as first cleanse as well as second cleanse. In both cases, I apply 2 pumps over moist skin and massage to create a rich creamy layer, then massage it gently by adding a small amount of water to increase the lather. Once rich foam is created, I rinse it off with warm water.
Feel and Effect on Skin
It feels super gentle on the skin. There is no tingling or anything of that sort. It washes well without leaving any residue. The skin feels clean and not drying at all. I don't get that dry, stretchy feeling that some cleansers leave as they rip of the skins natural moisture. As a first cleanse, it effectively removes light makeup and sunscreen, but if I am wearing foundation and slightly heavier makeup, I prefer to cleanse my face with an oil based cleanser or cleansing balm and use this cleanser as my second cleanse. I follow all my cleansing ritual with a good toner and moisturizer.
Packaging
The packaging is super luxurious. It comes in a chic, golden sturdy plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. There is a cap to avoid the cleanser from accidentally spilling on-the-go. Very travel friendly container. Looks aesthetically pleasing on the bathroom counter. One cannot deny that Instagram generation loves a gorgeous packaging!
Final Thoughts
This is a good cleanser. Nothing spectacular or out of the world. It is gentle on the skin yet effective in removing the makeup. It does not leave any residue nor strips the skin of its natural oils. I think it a solid addition in any skincare routine. Gentle enough to use around the eyes and can be equally appreciated by sensitive skin types.
