Everyone’s bathroom shelf has this bottle. That kale-green gel is practically an influencer status symbol.
But “superfood” on a label doesn’t make it clean. We’re digging past the marketing to see if the formula holds up.
It’s a $38 gel cleanser from Youth to the People. The big sell? Washing your face with a cold-pressed juice blend.
Vegan & Cruelty-Free
Certified by Leaping Bunny, which is the gold standard.
Recycled Packaging
The bottle is 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.
No Sulfates
Uses gentle coconut-derived surfactants instead.
The hero ingredients are kale, spinach, and green tea. They’re antioxidants, which fight free radicals. But here’s the thing: you rinse this off.
- Kale Extract: Provides vitamins C, E, & K
- Spinach Extract: Delivers antioxidants & fatty acids
- Green Tea Extract: Soothes with polyphenols
- Alfalfa Extract: Contains vitamins & amino acids
Texture is a slick gel that lathers into a light, airy foam. Smells like a health food store — pure parsley and wheatgrass.
After two weeks, my skin felt balanced. But the real surprise? It removed light makeup better than I expected for a “gentle” formula.
My combo skin stayed clear and never felt stripped. Didn’t magically shrink pores or cure dryness. Just a really good, consistent cleanse.
It’s not greenwashing. The ingredients are legit, the ethos is solid. But you’re paying for the experience as much as the results.
