I've used up a couple of 30ml sample tubes of this cleanser now. I generally enjoy most Clinique items but as they are more expensive I usually only buy the little sample kits they have. 30mls is definitely enough to last for a while and get a good feel of the product.
This is called a foaming mousse and I feel like that is very accurate. It's a soft feeling, white kind of lotion that foams up really well. I know foam isn't always the best thing but I honestly feel like they do a better job of cleansing compared to a non foaming cleanser.You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. This doesn't have any offensive or perfumed scent. It just has a basic sort of cleanser scent if that makes sense.
I never used it with heavy foundation but it did a good job for just the usual bb cream removal. Maybe heavier products would just need a bit more working in when you cleanse but I think this would be heavy duty enough to remove it too. I have very dry skin and this didn't make it tight and even more dry. I also have issues with my skin breaking out with a lot of products and I don't think this did that for me (sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what is causing my issues, my skin has been terrible for a while now).
I'd use this again in the future and definitely recommend it. Especially if you can pick up the little trial packs. They can be such good value and a great way to try out some more expensive products!
This pops out a foam from a tube, you don't need much about the size of a pea. The foam feels light and when mixed with water spreads easily over the face. It cleans gently as there is no additional exfoliant. For me it cleans well, once rinsed off there is no tightness, a too clean feeling, or the feeling "is still cleanser on it?" For the amount you need to use, a tube will last a while with it. When I have been lazy and not cleaned my make up off first, it does remove it as well I only do this on non mascara days though. There is no noticeable scent in this.
Would I buy again, yes I would as it does a good job but I would look at it more if there was a bonus time on.
