Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser Review

it was ok but for myself it dried my skin out really bad and when I stopped using it my face become overly oily will not be using this again

I don't really like giving this such a low rating, as I think it would probably work better for those with less dry skin, but overall this is a personal review, so I have to give it a personal rating.

This is quite refreshing to use, and gives a slightly cooling feel once you initially use it, so I guess it lives up to the "wakes you up" claim (although I wouldn't rely on it to wake me up instead of my morning coffee, haha!).

The smell surprised me initially: it isn't a particularly natural orange smell, which was a bit disappointing, but more of a 'dishwashing-liquid' citrus smell. The first few times I used it I felt like I should be washing the dishes instead of my face! However, it's not actually unpleasant, but just something to be aware of.

The reasons that I wouldn't use it again are:

a) I didn't experience any benefits from using it - while it didn't break me out, etc, it didn't improve the state of my skin in any way, and in fact...

b) ... it did leave my skin feeling a bit tight and dry after each wash. Not so badly that it couldn't be fixed with moisturiser, but it's not good for skin to have all the natural oils stripped to the point of feeling parched and dry. This is something that I do experience with most foaming-type cleansers, and so now I basically only use cream/oil cleansers or natural scrubs such as rolled oats, which suit my skin way better.

Overall: this is okay, and if you have less dry skin than I do then you might like it. However, I think that there are probably better, nicer-smelling equivalent products out there.

I am halfway through my bottle of this product. As I have very acne prone teenage skin I thought this might be a nice way to refresh my face. It is a very average product for me. I sometimes use this at night as well as it doesn't really feel like it wakens me up or anything but it does help to scrub my face should I feel the need to. It is nice with the bead like additives. Doesn't smell dreadful. I didn't notice much in the way of radiant skin so hopefully others have a better result with this. Average all round in my book.

I have combo skin with very harsh dry patches. It definitely woke me up in the morning, the smell is lovely, but it dried out my skin and a couple of times left an itchy rash around my neck. I'm sure it would work for normal to oily skin types, but if you have any dryness I would really avoid this product.

I used this cleanser growing up and knowing what I know now about cleansers it definitely wasn’t the best but boy was the scent refreshing – nothing screams zesty citrus like this product!

I had the one without the pump so you had to squeeze it out which was ok because I still had control of how much I wanted to dispense. Back then I didn’t wear makeup (oh the horror) so I purely used it to remove excess oil since I have oily skin.

It has a semi-thick gel-like consistency that seems to melt away once you mix it with water against your face. I barely noticed the beads “bursting” but I definitely smooshed and massaged them into my face so I treated it as a gentle exfoliator. The product left a cool tingly feeling and made me believe it was working its magic but alas it didn’t really do much for the skin other than make sure it was nicely cleansed.

I can’t say it prevented breakouts because at that time I didn’t really suffer from it. One thing I didn’t enjoy was how it left my face feeling. After I had patted my face dry my face felt semi-tight with an almost sticky feeling so when I put my hands against my face and pull them away it comes away slowly as if there is some residue left behind. I always rinse my face clean of the product so it was interesting to feel this.

Did it stop me from buying it? No. I would use the Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturiser and to be honest it did the job for me. I think it's a good cleanser to start off with for those who don't have breakouts but just want a simple cleanse but not something I would recommend for those who need heavy duty cleansing (like myself).

I promised myself I would never do a one or two sentence review but there is just not much to say about this and I don't think anyone should waste their hard earned coin so here goes. The smell is overwhelming on, more than a touch sickly. Bursting bubbles is more like hundreds and thousands of little beads that are uncomfortable and just feel slightly odd. Gels in my opinion don't feel like they do anything for your face, there is no fun foam or refreshing feel. This particular specimen felt gluggy. Using a hot flannel would have been 100 times more efficient.

This was defiantly not suited to my skin as its prone to be rather dry. I feel like this stripped my face of any natural oil and left my skin feeling very dry. I really wanted to try this as its affordable and had the promise of waking up/ energize skin as I'm not a morning person ;)

Having sensitive skin this broke my skin out very badly and very quickly.

I didnt like the fact it stung my face and it seemed to be taking a layer to many off when I was foaming it up.

I used this at the off chance it was going to react to my skin and found it did, so wouldnt recommend to people with sensitive skin at all.

The smell is rather nice however and it did give a good clean leaving my skin feeling nice and smooth and a great foundation for the mornings makeup routine. I did have to apply and leave to soak a little more moisturizer as it was a little drying for me. But that could be as I'm not a teen anymore. Would highly recommend to an age of 13/17 as thats where I feel it would be the most useful

The packaging is rather appealing.

I have very sensitive dry and reactive skin. I decided to give this a try as I was sold on the invigorating morning burst idea plus the ads for this actually lured me in a little. The price was really good I thought not bank breaking stuff. The packaging was nothing special to look at but the pump was great it delivered the right amount of product it didn’t get blocked up or not work sometimes and the pump locked so this was a bonus for me. Consistency wise it foamed up really well and the little beads felt nice and refreshing to the touch. I did find the smell was a little bit overpowering , to me it smelt a bit like a mixture of citrus and dishwashing liquid so I would not rate this on smell I prefer a softer smell. It did make me feel like it woke up my skin, I think a combination of the beads the smell to be honest but I think that’s about it for pluses for me. It dried out my skin terribly after a few days of using even a little flakey unfortunately and it didn’t help with diminishing any blemishes or spots for me.

I like the scent of this product it definitely wakes your skin up and gives it a radiance boost but I felt that it didn't cleanse my skin as well as a cleanser should. It didn't remove my makeup very well but if your looking for a morning citrus boost this is a good product.
