Reviews

AMAZING PRODUCT

"I had ALOT of acne on my nose and someone told me it was because of built up bacteria. After I heard that I tried this and on the first about an hour later more than half of the acne was gone. This product is truly so gentle, feels so nice, and is effective too!! I couldn't recommend this product more!!"

I love this Fresh Start gel cleanser

"I’ve been using the Bubble Fresh Start Gel Cleanser for a while now, and it’s honestly such a solid everyday cleanser. It has a lightweight gel texture that feels refreshing on the skin and lathers just enough to give that clean feeling without being stripping. After washing, my face feels fresh, soft, and balanced—not tight or dry. I also love that it removes dirt, oil, and light makeup really well while still being gentle, which makes it great for both morning and night routines. The packaging is cute and practical too (very Bubble-coded ✨). If you have normal, oily, or combination skin and want an affordable cleanser that gets the job done, this one is definitely worth trying."

Cleans the skin without the tight feeling

"I’ve been using this as part of a simple routine, and what stands out is how balanced it feels. It cleans well without that tight or stripped feeling, which I’m really particular about. The texture is lightweight and easy to use daily, and my skin stays comfortable and hydrated after rinsing. It’s the kind of cleanser that quietly does its job without overcomplicating things."

Clean, fresh and gentle on my skin

"I’ve been using the Fresh Start cleanser for a while now and I’m really happy with it. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without drying it out, which is super important for me. The texture is lightweight and easy to use, and it doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I’ve noticed that my skin looks clearer and more balanced since I started using it, especially with less oil during the day. It also has a nice, light scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, it’s a great daily cleanser, especially if you have combination or oily skin. I would definitely recommend it and will keep using it!"

After using it, my skin looks fresh, smooth, and more balanced. Plus, the packaging is so cute and aesthetic! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a simple, effective cleanser that keeps your skin feeling soft and healthy 💙✨"

Cleanser for oily to combination skin 10/10 bubble

"I love it I loved it too much. It became my favorite cleanser in my skincare routine. I love my oily skin, its light gel texture feels divine on the skin. Love to use and leaves skin soft and radiant. If I recommend it, it's a 10/10. It became an important step in my routine. I hope to try other products soon because I loved that cleanser"

Gel nettoyant Bubble

"Ce gel nettoyant est super agréable à utiliser : la texture est légère, il mousse juste ce qu’il faut et laisse une vraie sensation de fraîcheur sur la peau. Ce que j’ai adoré, c’est qu’il nettoie vraiment bien sans agresser. Ma peau est propre, mais surtout elle ne tiraille pas après, et ça c’est hyper important. Sa formule est enrichie en ingrédients comme l’aloe vera et la menthe, donc ça apaise et ça rafraîchit en même temps"

Ana G. (5/5)

My granddaughter wants some of your products for Christmas. She is only 11 and basically has normal skin. She has only had one pimple. She wears light makeup occasionally and has not hit puberty yet. What can you recommend fir face washing and moisturizer
Hi Marie! We would recommend getting her started out with the Bubble Rise & Shine kit with Slam Dunk. It has everything needed to get kicked off on the 3-Step Bubble Routine of Cleanse / Treat / Moisturize. https://hellobubble.com/collections/shop/products/rise-shine-set This kit focuses on healthy skin and developing good, preventative care habits as opposed to specialized skincare treatments that may arise later on (ie, acne, blemishes that pop up more as teens get older.) Also, if you enjoy doing spa sessions with her, we have a face mask called Come Clean that you can apply together and have a special Grandma/Granddaughter night! Its really purifying, and purple! https://hellobubble.com/collections/shop/products/come-clean-clay-mask Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions! - Amanda & the Bubble Team
Hi, Bubble! I love your work and products! I just have one tiny question… is this cleanser for 11 year olds too? Also, how long would it take for you to ship to Romania? Thank you! Love you!
Hi! Yes, our cleanser is perfectly safe for 11 year olds! We suggest using Beautybay.com for shipping to Romania and its super fast!
