Bubble Fresh Start Gel Cleanser

Review | Bubble Fresh Start Gel Cleanser

Hi Everyone!

Today I’m reviewing Bubble’s Fresh Start Gel Cleanser.

“Bubble is the first skincare brand made for Gen-Z.” Even though it has Gen-Z in mind, people of all ages can use it.

  • Science-driven products that are sustainable, vegan and cruelty-free
  • What you won’t find: harsh chemicals, additives, fillers or fragrances
  • Partnered with Better Help to offer 50% off of online therapy with each initial purchase
  • Donate 1% of their profits to organizations that support teens facing mental health difficulties

Our everyday cleanser purifies skin without drying it out. This gel-based formula cleanses away pore-clogging impurities while simultaneously soothing skin—and without any harsh ingredients that can strip it of essential moisture. The end result: A complexion that feels fresh, clean, and balanced.

The packaging is cute. I like the baby blue and the fact that it comes in a pump. There are two things I don’t love about the packaging:

  1. When you push the pump, it dispenses onto the side of bottle if you keep it upright. So I need to tilt the bottle (90°) to make sure it dispenses onto my hand.
  2. I don’t know if I’m just not strong enough, but it’d be nice if the bottle could open so that when I’m closer to finishing it, I can see how much is left.

RATING: 3.5/5

I like that it’s a gel cleanser. There’s no added fragrance, the natural scent isn’t my favourite, but since it’s a cleanser, it’s not a big deal. I have dry skin and I tried using it out every day for a week. It didn’t make my skin feel dry. Since it has PHA (polyhydroxy acid) which is an exfoliant, I like to use it a few times a week as my night cleanser. I use about 2-3 pumps each time, So I will keep track of how often I use it to see how long it takes to finish up.

Back in high school, I had no idea what BHAs or AHAs were. I don’t even remember what I used as a cleanser, I might’ve just used bar soap and water. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. I barely had a skincare routine. I would use the same moisturizer as my mom (she has oily skin and I have dry). I wish I had been more interested in skincare when I was a teen. I only knew about drugstore brands like Clean & Clear and Neutrogena. Even then, I barely used anything.

Have you heard of Bubble?

Love,
