Clinique Fresh Pressed Pure Vitamin C 5% Powder Cleanser Reviews

This product comes in a form of whitish powder which comes in a tiny cute easy-to-tear packet. Fidley part is actually having to tear it, then trying to shake all the powder out. However, It’s probably better idea than having it in a pottle, where the powder could potential get wet. I just rinse the empty sachet with a bit of water as i dont want to waste a single of that precious granule. It dissolves, and lathers up with water into a foamy soapy layer. It also has a light, fresh citrusy scent to it.

It’s consistency reminds me of doves face wash.

After leaving the vitamin lather on for a minute, and washing it off, face feels refreshed, lovely, soft and smooth to the touch. No extreme tightness or extreme dryness after washing. It’s gentle enough with no stinging around my sensitive eye area.

The thought of using powder is quite unique. It’s my first time using a powdered cleanser. It’s a very clever way to preserve the active property of vitamin C, so our skin gets the full benefits. I quite like it. I really wish it was cheaper.... But prices do differ across online retailers. So i’ll try to catch it when it comes on special.

I got 7 of sachets as sample gwp on multiple orders online. I decided I would use them in conjunction with the Fresh Pressed Vitamin C extract added to my Clinique moisturizer. You open the sachet, pour the powder into your palm and add a few drops of water and mix till you get a thin, bubbly paste which you wash your face with. It feels less foamy than a gel cleanser but more bubbly than a cream cleanser. It has very, very fine powdery exfoliant in it. After washing my face my skin as soft, smooth but not more radiant than if I had exfoliated my face. Since I was able to get 2-3 uses out of each sachet I used it at night as well. I would say it’s gentle enough to use twice a day unless you have really dry or sensitive skin, my skin is combination at the moment. When I was using it my skin was bright from the exfoliation but I wouldn’t say it’s worth me purchasing to continue to use. I think I can get bright skin from more affordable cleansers, plus I’m not sure how much the vitamin C benefited my skin since it was only on my skin for a really short time.
