Clinique Anti-Blemish Cleansing Bar for Face and Body Review

I got this in a sample size when I brought a few other clinique things, I thought that this would be great as I love the rest of the stuff from here but sadly it didnt really help my face, all it did was make it drier than my face usually is which sucks, and made no difference to the blemishes or preventing them, i think that there is better out there for the price. my face did feel a lot softer after the use of this though

I got this 3 step sample from the Clinique counter at Smith and Caugheys. The sample came in a little plastic bag and the bar was a decent size for a sample. It works simple enough - just like a body soap bar except for the face. I would wet it and then lather a bit before applying to my face and massaging it around. I have oily/combo skin and am super acne prone and I found that this didn't do anything for my skin. It didn't worsen, but it definitely didn't improve and actually dried my skin a bit. It also didn't provide me with a clean feeling.

It's an overall below average cleanser for me and I would not repurchase it.

The idea of this facial cleaner is interesting - a bar that you use on your face! In terms of design I thought this was a pretty clever idea. It's easy to use and very familiar. I think everyone can relate to having used a bar of soap.

The scent of the bar is very, very mild. I actually didn't notice it at all. It foamed up really well, and was quite easy to use either washing my face at the sink or using it in the shower (I even used it with my cleaning brush a couple of times - it worked nicely). The bar also goes a long way - after a couple of months of use there was still a substantial amount of the bar left.

But beyond that, I wasn't in love with this product. It did a decent job of cleaning my face, but I found it to be quite drying. It also didn't do much for clearing up acne - I actually found that it irritated some of my problem areas.

I love love love Clinique, but for me, this one was a miss.
