Readers Are Calling This ‘The Most Amazing Cleanser’

A great cleanser can completely change how the rest of your skin-care routine performs. And according to a recent survey of more than 600 NewBeauty readers,* Youth To The People’s Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser ($39) is one of those rare formulas that manages to be effective, non‑stripping and refreshingly lightweight all at once. Packed with antioxidant‑rich greens and barrier‑loving hydrators, it promises clean, soft, glowing skin, and reviewers across ages are saying it delivers.

What’s Inside

This award‑winning, pH‑balanced gel cleanser uses kale, spinach and green tea to wash away makeup, SPF and excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier. A few pumps transform into a soft foam that purifies, minimizes the look of pores over time, and leaves behind that “clean but not tight” feeling we’re all chasing. 

Gentle + Effective

Across the board, reviewers say this cleanser nails that elusive balance: effective enough to remove makeup and grime, but gentle enough for daily (and even double) cleansing. A 36‑year‑old fan loves the gel texture because it “works into a lather well” and leaves skin “clean and hydrated.” Another reviewer, 38, said it “worked well at removing makeup,” adding that the scent alone won them over.

For many, the experience is just as important as the results. A 59‑year‑old shopper shared that it’s simply “very refreshing,” while a 31‑year‑old said it not only feels great on the skin but helps keep their complexion “clear” with “instant results.”

It’s in the Details

Part of what makes this cleanser so beloved is the sensory experience. Reviewers continually mention the fresh smell, smooth gel texture and satisfying foam. One person noted: “It feels refreshing on my face along with a great smell.” Another added that the cleanser “foams up a little bit and smells fresh,” making it an ideal match for combination and oily skin types who love that super‑clean finish.

For people who value clean ingredients and sustainable packaging, the appeal goes even deeper. A 53‑year‑old reviewer highlighted that they “love the packaging with the glass and clean ingredients,” and that it leaves their skin feeling “refreshed.”

The formula’s balance of antioxidants and gentle hydrators makes it especially popular with those who lean oily or deal with the occasional breakout. A 30‑year‑old shopper said it gives “the best cleanse” and is ideal for combo‑oily skin because it leaves their complexion “borderline dry, but that’s what I love about it.” 

The Bottom Line

If you want a face wash that leaves your skin clean, soft, refreshed and glowing—without stripping away your moisture barrier—real readers say Youth To The People’s Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser is worth the hype. From the fresh scent to the gentle foam to the visible clarity and pore‑refining benefits, it’s a formula people return to again and again.
