What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Gentle Yet Effective Face Wash That Keeps Skin Balanced

"I’ve been using this face wash for years, and it continues to be a staple in my routine. It cleans thoroughly without stripping the skin or leaving it feeling tight and dry, which is something I’ve struggled with in the past. At the same time, it doesn’t leave any greasy or oily residue—my skin just feels clean and balanced afterward. It also does a great job removing makeup, including foundation and everyday buildup, without any harsh scrubbing. After washing, my skin feels soft, refreshed, and comfortable, never irritated. It’s reliable, effective, and one of those products of Goldfaden MD's that I always come back to."

— Georgette C. (5/5)

Loveeeee

"I've been using this cleanser for years and I love the way it feels - never leaving my skin dry!"

— Danielle S. (5/5)

Great overall face wash

"Havent used it for long enough to see if the combo of this and the foaming one works well for removing blackheads, but so far so good."

— Kristan O. (5/5)

Not for me

"This clear gel cleanser was lightly foaming. It did bother my sensitive skin and leave me feeling dry afterwards."

— Lauren (3/5)

Favorite cleanser

"I cycle between this and Indie Lee’s brightening cleanser but I find this one just a bit more moisturizing. Does a pretty great job of removing makeup. Skin feels fresh and clean but never tight. Had never caused breakouts. Love it!"

— Melisa M. (5/5)

Easy, no fuss facial cleanser

"Goldfaden's Pure Start Cleanser works as advertised. I walked into Credo with no sense for my exact skin type, which made it hard to shop around. With the staff's help we settled on this product, and it's been fantastic. It's not harsh, doesn't strip away too much moisture, and leaves your skin feeling fresh."

— Laurent W. (5/5)

My go to!

"I love this cleanser. I love that it doesn't have a strong scent and my skin feels so refreshed afterwards."

— Sara G. (5/5)

On Repeat

"I have been using this cleanser for just under five years now. It is gentle on my very sensitive skin and a little goes a long way. The bottle typically lasts me 3-4 months. One pump really is all you need."

— Payton J. (5/5)

"I like the light scent and gentleness of this product."

— OWEN (4/5)
