This cleanser started in a kitchen, not a lab. Two brothers watched their grandma make cold-pressed green juice every morning — and wondered what it could do for skin.
The real magic? They use the same commercial juicer for their kale and spinach that she did. It’s a smoothie for your face.
A $38 gel cleanser from Youth to the People. I tried it because they promised it wouldn’t strip my skin squeaky-clean. That’s a lie most cleansers tell.

It’s an antioxidant bomb, not just a soap. The cold-pressing is key — it keeps the vitamins from degrading before they hit your face.
- Kale: Fights free radicals from pollution
- Spinach: Hydrates and soothes

- Alfalfa: Packed with vitamins & amino acids

It’s a slick, emerald gel that smells like crushed herbs and fresh-cut grass. Lathers into a light, airy foam — not that thick, suffocating kind.
After two weeks, my skin stopped feeling tight post-wash. The surprise? It actually removes light makeup. Even mascara smudges melt off.
My complexion looks clearer, more even. But it didn’t magically shrink pores or cure hormonal breakouts. It just made my skin feel… healthy. Normal.
It’s a brilliant, effective product built on a great story. But you’re paying for the juicing process and the ethos — not a miracle.
