I have tried the Clinique 3 step system in various stages of my life but no product from the line has performed as well for me as the Liquid Facial soap.
This is a relatively newcomer to the 3 step line-up (previously they just had their cleansing bars which don't work well with my skintype)and I have purchased a couple of these over the past few years in the Mild variant. This is a very effective foaming cleanser which is very gentle yet very good at removing eye makeup.
There is no fragrance. This is a slightly runny clear liquid 'soap' it is foaming when mixed with water but it is not dryingly foaming. The product comes in a lovely frosted pale Clinique green bottle with a handy pump top. It dispenses just the right amount of product for each application. It doesn't sting my eyes unlike other facial washes and it washes away cleanly with no residue. This is also very, very concentrated so you really get your money's worth - one bottle lasts me up to 8 months or so, so very economical for the $40 or so you pay for this product.
Overall, a great cleanser especially when I was slightly younger and had not so dry skin, but as I prefer cream cleansers and cold creams nowadays I am personally not likely to repurchase, however I could definitely still use this as a quick shower cleanser when required without compromising the condition of my skin.
Clinique, when it comes to skincare products for me seem to be perfection! I have dry, sensitive skin which tends to react to some products, but not Clinique.
There has been many times I have strayed from the Clinique three step skincare to try other products, but I keep going back to it. Why? Because it seems to be so moisturising and hydrating for my dry skin.
The packaging is distinctively Clinique, with the iconic C and lovely sleek, stylish pump bottle. Clinique products always look high quality and attractive. The pump is great, as it is so handy and dispenses the right amount of product. It's also hygienic, which is definitely a plus.
This liquid facial soap is such a lovely cleanser. The formula is so gentle, yet is so effective taking off your days makeup. It's great that it doesn't sting my eyes like other cleansers. After using this my skin feels so clean, refreshed and healthy. No uncomfortable tight feeling with this!
I then follow this cleanser with the clarifying lotion and dramatically different moisturiser. Using these products gives my dry skin much needed moisture and hydration.
I can't recommend this product enough. Clinique has made such a winner here.
Tips: Follow this cleanser with the clarifying lotion and dramatically different moisturiser.
