Clean & Clear Essentials Self Foam Facial Wash Review

I used to love this facial wash once upon a time). Before I wore makeup and before I knew what taking care of your skin really meant). These days (I purchased it a little while a go when they were on special for $4.95 on the warehouse website) I just don't feel like it cleans my skin like I need it to. Because it's a foam wash, I feel as though it's not cleansing my skin properly because you can't really work it into your skin like you can with cream based cleansers, which comes down to the thickness of the product. As soon as water hits your face, this foam wash instantly washes off, whereas the thicker cleansers seem to work into your skin quite nicely and it sits almost like a base so it doesn't wash off before you get a chance to wash your face properly. Don't get me wrong, this is quite a nice facial wash, but I'd only recommend it for a 'refreshed' feeling after a long day. Also, It's gentle enough for everyday use and it will actually last quite a while.

Clean & Clear's Self Foam Facial Wash was one of the first cleansers I ever tried when I was younger. I love the classic pump packaging, which is sturdy and functional, delivering a nice pump of perfectly foamed product. The clear packaging makes it easy to see how much product remains.

The product itself has a pleasant enough smell without being overpowering. Definately not powerful enough to remove makeup, it still cleanses bare skin well without leaving it too tight or overdry. I didn't notice any difference in the condition of my skin while using this product regarding preventing acne, oily skin or blackheads so for me it didn't deliver in that aspect.

I probably wouldn't purchase this again for myself as I want something a bit more powerful to meet my needs now, but I think it's a great value product for those wanting a basic cleanser or who are just starting out with skincare.

Didnt like this product all to much. The scent is quite strong. Love the packaging and the fact that it comes with a pump. It foams up pretty well too. This product left my skin feeling stingy. I have pretty healthy skin, so maybe it will work a lot better with acne prone skin.

I do like this product because a little did go along way for me 1 pump and that's all I needed. I used this years ago and I never got pimples for ages!! So I thought I would purchase it again because my skin was going crazy with outbreaks, the worst id ever had. When I started to use it recently I notice that it would break me out more then keep the breakouts away! Was disappointed in this product as I thought maybe it would save my skin and not make it worse. Overall I did really like how it didn't dry out my skin and the product did last a long time.

Great everyday product, pump bottle that expresses foam product. Nice and fluffy and you don't need much product for your face. Light gentle cleanser, keeps your face fresh. Can cause dry skin so make sure to moisturise after!

When I used this it stung my face and felt like it was burning, but it did work in ways I wanted it to just doesn't prevent pimples.

I picked this up on special at the Warehouse and definitely won't be repurchasing.

It comes in a pump bottle which I like and foams up once you dispense it. It cleans your face but leaves it feeling very stripped and dry. It even leaves my hands feeling stripped which goes to show its a pretty harsh product!

I don't have super oily skin so this probably wasn't the best choice of product on my behalf however I'd just like to warn anyone thinking of purchasing it just how strong it is. I would recommend this to only very oily skin types.

While its a 'harsh' product in terms of action, I didn't get any breakouts after using this.

I use this only if i need to double cleanse for some reason. It is just too drying even with a decent moisturizer. It leaves a strange squeaky clean feeling that is strange and tight feeling. Ill use it up but wont repurchase.

I have moderately sensitive skin, however most skincare products tend to work well with my skin. This product was okay until about 2 minutes after applying it, at which point my skin began to sting/burn. I immediately rinsed it off but my skin continued to feel like it was burning. Plus side, my skin definitely felt clean! I left the shower with red rash-like marks on my cheeks...
