Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Review

I have been using Clinique skincare for a few years now but up until recent months I have always had oily acne-prone skin. Recently my skin type changed to be much more dry so when this happened I decided to give their mild liquid facial soap a go. I had received a 50ml squeeze tube as a gift with purchase which was designed for dry combination skin.

The product is a clear, mildyly-scented gel formula which lathers easily with only a small amount of product so i can see it lasting awhile. I've been using this for a few weeks now and it's been very effective at cleansing my skin without leaving it overly dry or irritated, even when I was suffering peeling skin from a dreaded cold! I haven't experienced any breakouts from it either which I was concerned about with my acne-prone skin, so this seems to be a very versatile cleanser that would suit most skin types.

Would I purchase again? Not unless it was on special, it is a fantastic, high-quality product but it does have that high-quality price-tag associated with Clinique and I found this cleanser wasn't too different from more affordable alternatives for mild cleansers like Cetaphil to justify spending additional on it. For those who are happy to though it is a great cleanser and you're sure to be happy with it.

The best time to buy Clinique is at bonus time, so you get extra products with your purchase, and that was how I got this.

This is step one in the Clinique 3 step system. It is a clear liquid that has the same consistency as flowing hand soap. You can still get the bars of soap that hasn't changed. The soap is mild and does not cause tightening of the skin even if I have done a double cleanse with it. I find it works well with fingers, manual brushes, konjac sponge, all options lead to foam and comes off with a flannel. There is no exfoliant in this, you will need an extra scrub or peel if you want, this is just a basic cleanser and it does that job well. There is no scent in this that I noticed.

This is a yes for the buy again it is more expensive than other cleaners out there but it knows it's job and it does it well, so it would be a bonus time purchase. The price of this if you are buying the kit form or the regular individual sizes are still the same as what I used to pay for it in the 90's, so it is nice that Clinique has kept that the same price.

This facial soap is a great cleanser that removes all the dirt from your skin, while being gentle at the same time. It doesn't strip the natural oils off your face and it left my skin feeling quite soft afterwards. My face doesn't feel tight or dry. I Quebec sensitive skin too and found that I had no reactions while using this product.

The cleanser has a gel consistency and has a clear minty green tint to it. This cleanser foams up when you start to use it and allows you to spread it over your face. It's easy to rinse off and doesn't leave a residue on my skin.

The main thing I dislike about this cleanser is the smell. It has a chemical type smell and I prefer a more fresh scent.

This cleanser is quite pricy, as Clinique is a high end brand. It is a good cleanser but I'm not sure that I would pay $40 for this cleanser. It does last you a long time though. However I don't think I would get this again.

I acquired some of this as part of my 3 step system. I’ve spent a lot over the years at Clinique and have tried a lot of products wether full sized or part of gifts with purchase.

I like this. But I don’t love it. In my opinion is not worth the money. It cleans your face but it also cleans out your wallet.

It cleans really well and gets a nice small foam cleansing action going but not overly foamy.. just enough to feel like it’s lifting the dirt. It feels very similar to my garnier micellar gel to be honest.. maybe a little runnier.

It is hard to make the choice of which 3 step system is right for your skin I really struggled. So it’s not really an easy choice.

I love the bottle. Like a lot of cliniques products it’s elegant and pretty but not tacky looking. I think the pump I love the most. Its very easy and effective to use.

Lasts a long time and didn’t cause flare ups on my skin. Perhaps slightly drying so always quickly follow up with some moisture after using I do this with any cleanser though. Slight chemical scent but not offensive. Very fitting with what you would expect from a cleanser.

It’s good to use but I personally find the price off putting.

I bought this as a 3 step set but this was the one product out of the three I probably wouldn't buy again unless it was on special, it's great and would be a great staple but for the price it is rather average. Pros - Mild - Kind on skin - No scent - A little goes a long way Cons - Expensive for a staple (although it does last for awhile) - Didn't "stand" out

Lovely bottle, and the wash lasts very long. I can’t say anything bad about this face wash, but I’ve found similar quality for much less.

Does nothing for your skin and is actually quite drying. yes, it cleans your face but the ingredients are very average, find something better!

I received this product in a Clinque goodie bag from a Shaaanxo event last year and have been using this product for the last month. This was a 50ml deluxe sample. Comes in a clear mint green upside down bottle. Which is great to get every last bit of product out. It doesn't really have a smell.

I have been using this in the mornings and don't think much of it. Easy to use, no skin reaction. Skin is clean, clear and soft. It does its job but seems very plain to me. I love products with a "wake up" scent in the morning.
