This cleanser is great for sensitive and overly reactive skin. Formulated with gentle cleansing ingredients combined with soothing extracts, this is the perfect cleanser for all skin types as well as sensitive skin.
Method of Application Dispense about a dime to nickel size amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand, drip warm/hot water into your palm then rub hands together to emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm cotton or bamboo clean washcloth.
Do not massage into your skin. Only cleanse in the A.M. if necessary.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.
I bought the antibacterial version of this and I love it! This cleanser could definitely be used everyday, I really like using it on treatment days, after or before microneedling, extractions or peels etc. Great gentle cleanser.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It's great to hear you're enjoying the antibacterial version. 😊
It means a lot to know that it's become a favorite for everyday use as well as around your treatment days. We formulated it to be as gentle and supportive as possible, so hearing that it's working well before and after procedures like microneedling, extractions, and peels is wonderful feedback.
We truly appreciate your review and your support!

Absolutely love this stuff
Absolutely love this stuff. I’ve been using it for about 10 years now. I used to have extremely oily skin. Garden of Wisdom’s products have allowed me balance my oils, and make my skin glow.
Hi -`♡´-
Thank you for this review. Our Gentle Cleansing Gel has been such a staple over the years.

Super gentle and effective
As with all GoW products, this is an awesome cleanser! Melts makeup away but feels gentle and doesn’t strip my skin. Another winner!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this cleanser!

Gentle and affordable
I love this cleanser. Most soaps and cleansers leave my skin feeling stripped and dried out (this goes for hand soaps as well). I've recently noticed that glycerin based hand soaps don't have that effect on my skin, but it took me a while to make that connection with this cleanser, because I've been using this for a couple of years now. My skin is dry/dehydrated, and can be sensitive to certain ingredients, so the regular formula with no essential oils is what works for me. It's gentle and soothing. One of my favorite ingredients is actually the marshmallow root! I think the ingredients in this cleanser could inspire a really nice gel moisturizer for daytime, and a cream moisturizer too, with glycerin as the humectant instead of something like hyaluronic acid (I still haven't decided if that ingredient is good for bad for my skin 😅). I don't wear makeup very often so this is a beautiful formulation for me to use regularly (I remove my makeup with oil when I do wear it). Thank you for making amazing products with minimal, healthy ingredients! It's what keeps me coming back to your company. 💜
Thank you so much for your review of this product! :)

Best cleanser!
I’ve been using this for about five years now and it has never let me down! It keeps my blemishes under control while still keeping my skin soft. No other cleanser is so perfectly balanced in this way! I’ve started wearing more foundation recently too and this feels like it will be gentle enough to use on top of a makeup removing cleanser!
We really appreciate you reviewing this product! Thank you!
This absolutely works and it works quickly! I notice a difference in my nail health, strength and length and I noticed a difference within a week. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks and my nails went back to dry and peeling. Within a few days of using it again, they were growing and strong. People actually noticed and complimented. It's easy to use with the brush application as well.
Thank you!
We’re so glad your nails felt stronger and that the brush made the serum easy to use.
How fun that people noticed and complimented your nails!
We appreciate you coming back to tell us how it worked for you. I adore this serum as my hands
and nails are always buried in something. :-D
Love this for my eyes. Does a good job of hydrating and plumping skin around
Thank you!
We’re so glad you’re loving the Apple Stem Cell Elixir and that the skin around your eyes feels more hydrated and looks a little plumper.
We appreciate you sharing how it’s working for you 🌻🌻🌻
This serum visibly tightens the neck area after one use
This serum visibly tightens the neck area after one use. It lives up to everything they state it does. I often try something different, waste my money, and come back to GOW for their products.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re delighted that the serum delivered such noticeable results and that you keep coming back to GOW.

I recommend this to EVERYONE with KP
I recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!

I wish you had a choice of a bigger bottle size or a big refill container. It would also be advantageous for the environment
