goop Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser — 4 fl oz gentle, hydrating face wash with squalane & kakadu plum for bright, smooth skin

This soft, foamless gel from goop is designed to lift impurities and slough away dry surface skin while keeping moisture intact. Formulated without parabens, silicones, or artificial dyes, it pairs easily with other actives like AHA, BHA, and vitamin C. Use it morning and night for a refreshed, smoother-looking complexion without stripping or tightness.

How does this cleanser remove dead skin without over-drying?

The jelly texture combines gentle physical polishing from bitter orange peel and enzymatic exfoliation from fruit enzymes to clear flaky areas. Instead of harsh scrubbing or abundant lather, it rinses clean while squalane helps preserve the skin's lipid barrier.

• Dual-action exfoliation: natural enzymes plus fine citrus-derived particles.
• Squalane included to replenish and soften skin after rinsing.
• Foamless, low-irritation formula suitable for routine use.

What key ingredients contribute to radiance and hydration?

Kakadu plum supplies vitamin C–rich botanical support for a brighter appearance, while arctic cloudberry delivers nourishing antioxidants. Squalane locks in moisture so skin feels supple, not stripped, after cleansing.

• Kakadu plum: botanical source of brightening nutrients.
• Arctic cloudberry: conditioning antioxidants for healthy-looking skin.
• Squalane: lightweight, non-greasy hydration and barrier support.

Can I use this with other active treatments like retinoids or acids?

Yes — the formula was made to be compatible with AHA, BHA, and vitamin C routines because it avoids aggressive surfactants and harsh exfoliants. Still, introduce any new combination slowly and patch-test if you have sensitive skin.

• Foamless base reduces interaction with other actives.
• Free from SLS, SLES, PEGs, and silicones to lower irritation risk.
• Everyday gentle enough for AM and PM cleansing.

What is the texture and user experience like?

The cleanser has a springy, jelly-like feel that massages smoothly across skin and rinses clean without a heavy residue. It leaves a silky finish so skin feels fresh and prepped for serums or moisturizers.

• Soft, gel-jelly consistency that spreads easily.
• Minimal foam for a delicate cleanse.
• Rinses away fully, leaving skin comfortable and smooth.
