Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser Travel-Size 150 ml — Gentle pH 5.5 Gel-to-Jelly Face Wash, Makeup & Sunscreen Remover

How quickly does it remove makeup and sunscreen?

Beste No. 9 is designed to break down long-wear makeup and chemical sunscreens using a blend of mild surfactants and makeup-dissolving emollients. It works on wet or dry skin—massage it in and add water to emulsify for efficient removal.

• Mild surfactant mix targets oils and pigmented makeup.
• Emollients help dissolve stubborn sunscreen residues.
• Can be used as first cleanse or single-step wash.

Will it dry my skin out or upset sensitive skin?

The formula is developed at a non-stripping pH (5.5) and includes glycerin and cantaloupe extract to support hydration, reducing the tight, dry feeling some cleansers cause. It avoids the Drunk Elephant "Suspicious 6" ingredients that often irritate sensitive skin.

• Glycerin helps retain skin moisture during cleansing.
• No essential oils, silicones, fragrances, or SLS.
• Suitable for nightly use and alternating with other cleansers.

How should I use the travel-size bottle for best results?

Squeeze a small amount into your palm, then gently massage over wet or dry skin to loosen makeup and grime. Add water to create a light lather, rinse thoroughly, and pat skin dry—follow with your preferred serums and moisturizer.

• Use on dry skin for heavier makeup removal, then emulsify with water.
• Rinse well to avoid any leftover residue.
• Keep in a travel bag for on-the-go cleansing without sacrificing routine quality.

What makes this different from other gel cleansers?

Beste No. 9 combines a gentle, surfactant-driven cleanse with emollient action in a jelly texture that doesn't strip the skin. Its formulation philosophy emphasizes skin-recognizable ingredients, small molecular structures for better absorption, and omission of commonly irritating compounds.

• Balanced pH and hydration-supporting additives.
• Clean formulation approach—no Suspicious 6 ingredients.
• Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free positioning.
