Clinique Anti-Blemish Cleansing Bar for Face and Body Review

've been using the Clinique Anti-Blemish Cleansing Bar for Face and Body for a few weeks now and it has made a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin. This bar soap is incredibly effective at removing impurities and unclogging pores, which has helped reduce the number of breakouts I've been experiencing. It also contains salicylic acid which is known to combat acne and exfoliate the skin. Despite its powerful formula, it is gentle on the skin and does not leave it feeling dry or tight. I highly recommend this cleansing bar to anyone looking for an effective yet gentle acne-fighting cleanser.

I received this product as part of a trial pack of the anti-blemish solution range from a clinique counter.

Consistency - This product is a bar soap which foams up nicely.

Application - At first I thought it was strange to be washing my face with bar soap, but it lathered up nicely in my hands allowing me to effectively wash my face, I have also used this alongside my olay regenerist face brush at times and it worked well also.

Usage - A small amount of this product goes a long way. The small trial sized bar lasted around a month of everyday use.

Price - This product is a little more expensive than most cleansers I have tried in the past however it would last a long time.

Packaging - The bar was stamped with clinique on the top which was nice, the full size bar comes in a soap box to store it in.

Results - I did enjoy using this product, it cleaned my face effectively without leaving that tight stripped feeling to the skin. It didn't completely get rid of my blemishes but did help keep new ones away.

Skin Type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase - I will definitely consider repurchasing this product when my current one runs out, however I may stick to supermarket cleansers while I remain on a student budget.

I am such a huge fan of this product. I first tried this when I was using the Clinique Anti-Blemish 3-Step program and was recommended it by one of the Clinique counter ladies as an alternative to the Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam as she said it was essentially the same formula but in bar form.

I really love the packaging of the bar, it's larger in size than a standard soap and comes with a branded soap dish with lid to store it in when you're not using it. This keeps it from getting soft in the shower, gathering soap scum and wasting product. I also found it really handy to travel with.

The cleansing bar is softly scented and smells just like the cleanser. It lathers really easily, I used it both on a loofah in the shower to combat bacne, as well as lathering it between my palms to cleanse my face.

I've used both the cleansing bar and the foaming cleanser and I found it works just as well as the foaming cleanser but you get a lot more use out of it. After washing with it, my skin felt really clean and fresh but not overly dry like some acne cleansers can leave your skin feeling. I also found it was one of the most effective products in clearing my acne.

The only downside to the Clinique Anti-Blemish range I found was it is a little more pricey but considering how well it works, it's definately worth it! I have been through a few of these so far and would continue to repurchase. I would recommend the cleansing bar to anyone with acne-prone skin looking for a gentle but effective product.
