Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is a pH-balanced, makeup-dissolving gel that removes sunscreen, oil, and daily grime without leaving residue.

This travel-size 150 ml bottle from Drunk Elephant offers a lightweight, clear jelly formula designed to cleanse thoroughly while preserving skin’s natural moisture.

How does Beste No. 9 remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

The cleanser blends gentle surfactants with makeup-dissolving emollients that lift and emulsify heavy products so they rinse away cleanly. Its jelly texture helps break down oils and pigments without aggressive rubbing.

• Mild surfactant blend breaks down waterproof makeup and SPF.
• Emollients dissolve oil-based products for easy rinsing.
• Rinses clear—no filmy residue left behind.

Will this cleanser dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

Beste No. 9 is formulated at a skin-friendly pH and includes glycerin and cantaloupe extract to support hydration and soothe skin. It excludes essential oils, fragrances, silicones, and drying alcohols to reduce the chance of irritation for many skin types.

• pH 5.5 helps maintain the skin barrier’s balance.
• Glycerin restores moisture lost during cleansing.
• Cantaloupe extract contributes calming hydration.

How should I use the jelly cleanser for best results?

Apply a small amount to dry or wet skin and massage to dissolve makeup and oils, then add water to activate a mild lather and rinse. It works well as a nightly cleanser or alternating with other cleansers if you double-cleanse.

• Squeeze into palm and massage over face—wet or dry.
• Add water to create a gentle lather; rinse thoroughly.
• Use nightly or alternate with your preferred Drunk Elephant cleanser.
