Most cleansers for oily skin overcorrect — they strip the face clean and leave it tight, shiny again by noon, and irritated at the edges. The Brickell Clarifying Gel Face Wash takes a different approach. It uses coconut-based cleansers and a blend of certified organic botanicals to cut through oil and surface debris without disrupting the skin barrier underneath. Aloe keeps things hydrated through the rinse. Geranium acts as a natural antiseptic. The result is a face that feels genuinely clean not scoured. It lathers well, rinses fast, and works consistently for normal, oily, and combination skin. If your biggest skincare complaint is a midday shine or clogged pores that keep coming back, this is a solid place to start.
Men with normal, oily, or combination skin who want a daily cleanser that controls oil without stripping the face dry. Also works well as a foundational step if you're building a fuller Brickell routine.
- Oil Control Without Over-Drying - Coconut-based cleansers remove excess oil and surface debris while leaving the skin's natural moisture intact.
- Antiseptic Cleansing - Geranium extract provides natural antibacterial action, clearing pore-clogging impurities that lead to breakouts and dullness.
- Aloe Hydration - Organic aloe vera replenishes moisture during the cleansing process, so skin feels balanced after rinsing, not tight.
- Brightening Effect - Regular use helps reduce the look of dullness and uneven tone by keeping the surface clear of buildup.
Energizing and fresh - a blend of peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemongrass essential oils. Clean and herbal without being heavy.
- Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis)* - A natural source of moisture, vitamins, and skin-calming compounds that keeps the face hydrated through the cleanse.
- Geranium Extract (Geranium Maculatum) - Natural antiseptic that targets bacteria, excess oil, and pore-clogging debris without aggravating sensitive skin.
- Coconut-Based Cleansers (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine) - Gentle, plant-derived surfactants that lift dirt and oil from the skin without the drying harshness of synthetic detergents.
- Gotu Kola Extract (Centella Asiatica)* - A calming botanical that soothes the skin and supports barrier recovery after cleansing.
- Horsetail Extract (Equisetum Arvense)* - Rich in silica and antioxidants, it helps tone the skin and tighten pores over time.
Wet your face with warm water. Dispense a small amount into your palms, lather, and apply to the face in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with cool water. Use once or twice daily - morning and night - for best results.
Brickell built its reputation on face cleansers that actually do the job without creating a second problem and the Clarifying Gel is certainly one that we point oily and combination skin types. It's a reliable daily driver: effective enough to keep oil in check, gentle enough to use every day without rebound irritation. Pair it with the Brickell Balancing Toner and Daily Essential Face Moisturizer to build a complete morning routine.
