What is the difference between Cream Face Cleanser and Gel

What is the difference between Cream Face Cleanser and Gel Cleanser?

Ever wonder what the difference between cream face cleanser and a clear gel cleanser is? Here are some insights.

At MISMO we stock two types of cleansers, Active Face Cleanser, and Natural Cleansing Milk. Active face Cleanser is gel based and Natural Cleansing Milk is cream based. Both will effectively cleanse your skin but offer different benefits.

Active Face Cleanser is an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) cleansing gel. No soap, fragrance or oil makes this an ideal cleanser for congested, acne prone skins. Rosacea skin types will also benefit tremendously as this skin tends to have multiple layers of dead skin cells. Due to the Glycolic and Lactic Acid content, this cleanser offers exfoliating qualities without beads or particles, which is exactly why it is advantageous for Rosacea skins.

The beauty of Active Face Cleanser is that while it is a gel the effects are still gentle and non-drying.

Natural Cleansing Milk is formulated using Olive, Macadamia, Sweet Almond, Apricot Kernel Oil, Aloe Vera and MSM (Organic Sulphur). Sound natural - it certainly is.

This product gives a deep and hydrating cleanse and can be used safely around the eyes. Natural Cleansing Milk also easily removes make-up, oily residue and daily grime without stripping the skin's essential natural oils.

Natural Cleansing Milk is suitable for all skin types, especially dry or mature skins.

MISMO offers two options as there are those who prefer a gel cleanser as opposed to a cream cleanser and vice versa. While they are both products that can be used by any skin type, if you tend to have oily and acne prone skin our recommendation would be to use the Active Face Cleanser as a preferred choice of cleanser.

Another very important aspect of face cleansers is the pH of the product. Here at MISMO we are always very careful to keep the pH close to your skin's pH. This avoids excessive drying of the skin and being left with a tight feeling. Soap is usually very alkaline and drying so a no no.

Not sure which one to choose? Then simply contact MISMO head office and one our beauty therapists will be on hand to provide expert advice. You can either phone on 07 5309 5513 or if you're online jump on the chat option we have available on the MISMO website and start a conversation.

In case you are wondering why you even need to cleanse, here are a couple of reasons why:

  • Cleansing and exfoliating are vital steps in anti-ageing.
  • Clean skin allows better absorption of nutrients supplied by moisturisers and promotes renewal of skin cells while you sleep.
  • Cleansing and exfoliating reduces blocked pores which lead to pimples and blackheads.

Powder or Capsules?

MSM Powder – Dietary supplement for general wellbeing and an active lifestyle. The most economical option and perfect for daily use at home.

MSM Capsules – TGA-listed medicine containing the same MSM powder. Convenient for travel or if you prefer to avoid the taste.

The following claims and product information apply only to MSM Capsules, in line with TGA requirements.

Benefits

  • ✅Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • ✅Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • ✅Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • ✅Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • ✅Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • ✅Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take 1–2 capsules daily (equivalent to ¼–½ teaspoon powder) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 5-6 capsules daily (equivalent to 1 teaspoon powder), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, lower your dose and increase gradually. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM with Magnesium

MSM and Magnesium also work together to support muscle recovery, joint health, and overall well-being. MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.

What Makes MSM Essential?

Sulfur is a key component of collagen, elastin, and connective tissues, helping to maintain joint mobility, skin resilience, and overall well-being. MSM provides a natural, highly absorbable form of sulfur to support your body's daily needs.
