Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s 2024 already because time does fly. In any case, let’s kick off the year by taking a look at the Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly that I’ve been testing for the past month or so. I picked it up on a whim while strolling through The Detox Market late last year, and I’ve been incorporating it into my routine ever since.
Ere Perez All-Beauty Jelly
So what exactly is the Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly? Well, it is a cleanser; specifically a 1st cleanser from a very new-to-me brand out of Australia. But while I’ve been using it as a cleanser, that’s not all it is. You can also use it as a mask or a spot treatment. I haven’t been using it as anything other than an oil-based cleanser, but I can see why someone would use it as a mask treatment. Just using this as a cleanser leaves my skin feeling as soft and smooth as a baby’s bottom, so I can only imagine how amazing my skin would feel using this as a mask.
The consistency on this one is 100% accurate. It is a jelly in the truest sense of the word. Even though it’s jelly, it doesn’t feel slimy when applied to the skin. It feels like a thick oil, without the greasy feeling. It’s very hard to describe accurately, and it’s something you need to experience for yourself to understand. I use it just like any other first cleanser. I apply it with clean, dry hands directly onto my skin and massage it in. This is the first step in my evening skincare routine. Like any other oil-based cleanser, I tend to massage it into my skin for between 1 to 2 minutes. This breaks down my sunscreen and makeup, ensuring I get the most out of the Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly.

The Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly breaks down makeup and sunscreen pretty easily. Once it’s worked into your skin, you can add a bit of water that will then emulsify the cleanser. Then I simply wipe it off and I’m left with baby-soft skin. You may be tempted to stop here, but don’t. You should follow up with your water-based cleanser and continue with your routine. If you were using this as a mask, I would not also be using it as my cleanser. For me, it would be an either-or situation. It does an awesome job of breaking down and removing waterproof, stage and very heavy makeup, and sunscreen. At the same time, I haven’t experienced the oil in my eyes feeling some other oil-based cleansers can have.
Honestly, I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the Ere Perez Fig All-Beauty Jelly. When it comes to my oil-based cleansers, I’ve not been enjoying regular cleansing balms and sticking with straight-up oil. This has been the cleanser I have been reaching for more consistently than any other. A bit too early for me to say if this is going to be one of my Holy Grail products. It’s certainly on the shortlist for my ‘Best of 2024’ list though. It retails for $48.50 CAD, and you can purchase it through The Detox Market.
