You can feel the quality of the ingredients. It’s a really effective cleanser that gets rid of all the grime from a day’s work, but it’s still hydrating. I use it before the Scenturie moisturiser and the combo works really well. Great to find a solid Kiwi brand.
Marc H (verified owner) –
I’m pretty low-maintenance and the fact this doubles as a shave cream is a huge plus. It has a great texture with a little lather and it leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth, not stripped and dry like soap. The fresh, woody scent is spot on, too.
Jacob W (verified owner) –

I also appreciate that it’s made in New Zealand with natural ingredients and I can use it as a shave cream. No more redness after washing my face.

I really like this cleanser. It cleans well, doubles as a shave cream, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It also smells great. The rest of the men’s range is very nice to use too. I will be purchasing again. Thanks

I am really impressed with this cleanser. My face feels clean, soft and refreshed after using, without the tight dry feeling you can get from some cleansers. The scent is really nice and I like that I can also use this as a shave cream.
George –
As a fairly typical male, skin care products had not featured much on my radar. I needed to be persuaded to try a hydrating face cleanser and didn’t know what to expect. To my surprise the product smell was pleasant but not obtrusive and after a short period my skin felt better. But the best part was the realisation that I could use it instead of a shaving foam. I have not purchased any shaving foam since and a further bonus is that it is easier to clean my shaver head.
Michael –
My face feels clean and soft after using this cleanser and my wife says my skin looks better than ever before! I really like the scent, very fresh and earthy. Would buy again and recommend to others.
