Unfortunately, apart from their Ultrabland Cleanser, my skin isn’t really a massive fan of Lush’s Skincare range. That’s why when the guys at my local Lush Store, Lush White Rose, very kindly asked me if I would like to try some of their Gentle Cleanser 2026 range that includes four Cleansers that have all been inspired by Ultrabland’s best-selling formula, I of course said yes. Well i’ve been using them for a little while now, and I thought that I would tell you what I thought of them.
Here’s what Lush say about all three amazing products.
The Lush Acai and Sacha Inchie Vitamin E Cleanser.
Ultra clarifying for Breakout-Prone Skin.
Time to ditch the 3-in-1 Face Wipes for a nourishing, non-stripping cleanse with Acai, Sacha Inchi and Manuka Honey. While we can’t help with the breakups, we can help with the Breakouts.
Organic Sacha Inchi Oil, hydrating and a natural source of Vitamin E, an Antioxidant which keeps Skin radiant and supple.
Manuka Honey, protective and cleansing.
Juniperberry oil, removes Skin Squames, excess Sebum and refreshes.
Fresh Fennel, deeply clarifying and gently cleansing.
Rosemary, Geranium and Eucalyptus Oil, for a scent as fresh as that Face of yours.
Leaving the World Lusher than we found it.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Regenerative Groves that supports Bird Habitats in the Mediterranean
Our main supplier of Acai Oil is CitroBio, based in Brazil. Families and Communities located in the state of Pará and Acre are involved in the production of Acai Oil. CitroBio helps to create a Market for Non-Timber Forest Products in order to generate an income for the Partner Communities they work with. This helps to preserve the Forest and generate extra income for the Families involved in the Acai Supply Chain.
How to use.
With clean hands, melt two Fingertips’ worth between the Palms and massage gently over the Skin and Eyelids to melt away Dirt and Makeup. Gently remove with a Cotton Pad soaked in Warm Water, or a Flannel if your Skin is oilier. Avoid vigorous, scrubbing motions, especially on Spots! Use in the Morning, Evening, or both, just be consistent. Don’t give up and don’t forget.
How to store.
Store at room temperature with the Lid closed between uses. This beautifully fresh Product has a four-month shelf life.
The Lush Honey, Beeswax and Almond Oil Cleanser.
Ultra-quenching for dry Skin.
Lifts Dirt and dryness from the Skin without fuss, and without added Fragrance. This Fragrance-Free melting Pot of raw Honeycomb and Beeswax has been a Lush Founders’ favourite for decades, so you know it does the job — no drought about it!

It’s scent.
I wasn’t really a massive fan of it’s scent, as even though it contained Fair Trade Organic Sesame Oil, Juniperberry Water, Beeswax, Fair Trade Organic Brazilian Honey, Organic Sacha Inchi Oil, Açaí Oil, Fresh Fennel Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Turmeric Root Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, Manuka Honey, Juniperberry Oil, Rosemary Oil, Kenyan Geranium Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Tincture of Benzoin, Benzoic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Cinnamate, and Limonene, I thought that it had a very strange deep and grassy yet ever so slightly sweet Pea scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you open a massive Can of Mushy Peas.
It’s consistency.
I really liked it’s consistency, as even though it was called a Cleanser, I thought that it felt incredibly thick and balmy yet ever so slightly creamy, and was more like an incredibly thick and balmy yet ever so slightly creamy Styling Paste rather than a thin and creamy yet ever so slightly balmy Cleanser.
What it did when I used it.
I really liked what this did when I used it, as once I had started to massage a little bit of it into my Skin, it turned from an incredibly thick and balmy yet ever so slightly creamy Styling Paste into a thick and creamy yet ever so slightly balmy Cleanser that spread really easily across my Face.
It’s results.
I absolutely loved it’s results, as not only did this leave my Skin feeling incredibly squeaky clean, silky soft, smooth, matte, plump, bouncy, moisturised and intensely hydrated, but it also left it looking extremely glowing, radiant, clear and much healthier for hours after I had used it. I also really liked that it didn’t manage to irritate the Patches of Eczema that I get underneath my Eyes.
It’s packaging.
I really liked it’s packaging, as this came in a short cylindrical Black Glass Jar with a Plastic screw top Lid that looked beautiful sat on my Beauty Shelves.

I absolutely loved it’s scent, as even though it contained Almond Oil, Rose Water, Beeswax, Honeycomb, Fresh Iris Extracted In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, Tincture of Benzoin, Benzoic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, and Benzyl Cinnamate, I thought that it had a very subtile sweet and nutty yet ever so slightly creamy Honey scent to it that kind of reminded me of walking past someone who’s eating some Honey on Toast outside of a Cafe on a balmy Spring Afternoon.

I absolutely loved it’s results, as not only did this leave my Skin feeling incredibly squeaky clean, silky soft, smooth, soothed, plump, bouncy, hydrated and intensely moisturised, but it also left it looking extremely glowing, radiant, less red and much healthier for hours after I had used it. I also really liked that it didn’t manage to irritate the Patches of Eczema that I get underneath my Eyes.

It’s results.
I absolutely loved it’s results, as not only did this leave my Skin feeling incredibly squeaky clean, silky soft, smooth, plump, bouncy, hydrated and intensely moisturised, but it also left it looking extremely glowing, radiant, a little bit brighter, a little bit younger and much healthier for hours after I had used it. I also really liked that it didn’t manage to irritate the Patches of Eczema that I get underneath my Eyes.

My overall thoughts.
Overall I would have to rate the Lush Acai and Sacha Inchi Vitamin E Cleanser an eight out of ten, the Lush Honey, Beeswax and Almond Oil Cleanser a nine out of ten, and the Lush Turmeric and Argan Cleanser an eight point five out of ten. I really liked the Lush Acai and Sacha Inchi Vitamin E Cleanser, as I absolutely loved it’s incredibly thick and balmy yet ever so slightly creamy consistency, what it did when I used it, it’s results, and it’s packaging, but I just wasn’t a massive fan of it’s very strange deep and grassy yet ever so slightly sweet Pea scent. I really liked the Lush Honey, Beeswax and Almond Oil Cleanser, as I absolutely loved it’s very subtile sweet and creamy yet ever so slightly nutty Honey scent, it’s consistency, what it did when I used it, it’s results, and it’s packaging, but I just wish that it was available in a much bigger Jar, as 60g of a Cleanser doesn’t really last that long, especially if you’re using it Morning and Evening like you’re supposed to do. I really liked the Lush Turmeric and Argan Cleanser, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious sweet and creamy yet ever so slightly nutty Vanilla scent, it’s consistency, what it did when I used it, it’s results, and it’s packaging, but I just wish that it was available in a much bigger Jar, as 60g of a Cleanser doesn’t really last that long, especially if you’re using it Morning and Evening like you’re supposed to do.

I was very kindly given a Jar of Lush Acai and Sacha Inchi Vitamin E Cleanser, a Jar of Lush Honey, Beeswax and Almond Oil Cleanser, and a Jar of Lush Turmeric and Argan Cleanser to review, but all thoughts, opinions, and general ramblings are my own.
