Let customers speak for us
from 102 reviewsI live in the desert so dry skin is always an issue. I also have sensitive skin and this has not caused any issues. I wake up with smooth moisturized skin.
I'm on my 2nd jar and now use some of their other products too. This removes all but the most stubborn waterproof mascara and leave my skin clean and smooth. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't burn, even around my eyes, nor cause breakouts.
I’m on my 3rd bottle. For a woman who loves to try new things buying more than once says it all.
Great product. It smells so good and leave my skin looking glowy all day long
I love the texture of this cleanser
Unlike anything I’ve ever used
Soft and gentle and effective
The cleaning gel is so amazing. My face feels clean without being a harsh cleaner! My face feels soft after I use it. I simply love this! Thank you for a great product!
I am a holistic esthetician and my standards are super high! The reason I ordered this to try was based on the ingredient list. I am very picky about that. It is pure with no added junk. Feels great and works great. I’d sell it if I could!
A great gentle yet thorough cleanser which I highly recommend!
I have quite dry skin, and I'm very happy with this cleanser. it feels good going on and my face feels really good after it's rinsed off I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and think it's my new standard.
I ordered my first jar of Dew Drops...was interested in the gel to oil to emulsify result. It works beautifully...I can't wait to take my makeup now...it becomes a Beauty Ritual! My skin is so soft...and only used it two days now....
Just what the packaging promises!
Luxury gentle cleanser, with a very light soft scent.
Cleanses perfectly, whilst leaving a comfortable feeling of hydrated skin.
Very light, non greasy, feels like quenching a thirsty skin.
Very gentle on sensitive skin too.
And discreet scent which is a bonus
Truly the best hydrator I ever experienced for my dry skin My fine wrinkles that go with the dryness are gone. 2 pumps on my face to moisture and last for the entire day. Super powerful. Thank you -)
There really is no other cleanser quite like Dew Drops. On days where I have light makeup (tinted sunscreen, light under-eye concealer, powder, eyebrow pencil and lipstick), I use this as my first step cleanser. The feeling of the gel on the skin is nice. And then as you rub it all over your face, the gel just covers your skin so nicely. It's hard to describe it accurately. Following this, I use the milk cleanser or if I feel like I want something "cleaner" I'll use a stronger cleanser. Depends on my skin condition on that day. FYI, I'm a 36 year old who looks like a late 20 something (according to a lot of people lolz), with oily combo skin living in a hot and humid tropical country.
My favourite new skincare find in forever is Forest Rhapsody Dew Drops Enzymatic Cleansing Gel. I guarantee you have never used a cleanser with this sort of texture before. Dip into the frosted glass jar to encounter a pillowy gel, like just-set jelly, and a product that thoroughly cleans, gently exfoliates and feels like a
The Ritual & Tips
How To Use
Massage a generous portion on slightly damp face and neck, moving in a circular motion. Rinse off with lukewarm water, or remove with a warm, fluffy wet face cloth.

Key Ingredients
Ancient Grains
Rice bran and colloidal oatmeal take centre stage in Milk Ferment. These timeless ingredients are rich sources of avenanthramides, minerals and fatty acids - powerful bioactives capable of combating inflammation, reducing irritation and soothing sensitive skin.
Probiotics & Lactic Acid
Probiotics and lactic acid derived from yogurt extract, help recalibrate your skin’s microbiome and restore skin suppleness, by enhancing cellular renewal and encouraging collagen production.
Chaga Mushroom
Chaga mushroom, one of the richest sources of superoxide dismutase enzymes and polyphenols, combats oxidative stress and builds skin's resilience.
Formula Inspiration
Milk Ferment is a celebration of a beauty ritual close to my heart.
Rice has been at the core of Southeast Asian cuisine for thousands of years, and it is also a superstar ingredient featured in multiple beauty rituals across the region.
Growing up, the women in my family would harvest the water from rinsing rice grains and incorporate it into beauty rituals in more ways than one. Certain days, this precious milky liquid would be used to rinse off skincare products, and other days, it would be splashed on bare skin to nourish the skin. Some home remedies also feature fermented rice in various forms, used on their own, or in combination with other ingredients.
Its versatility lends so many possibilities to this nutrient-packed water. And anything not utilised for the day would be used to feed the plants in our garden – and these plants always yield the sweetest fruits, herbs and vegetables.
It is with this traditional practice in mind, that I crafted Milk Ferment, a tribute to the generations of women before me and a revival of a traditional beauty practice.

Already treated myself to a mini-facial! Double cleanse and Good Earth, followed by Green Nectar and Barrier Warrior. I’ve been fighting very dry skin lately and I was so impressed with how gentle each product was yet still very effective.
