Clean & Clear Essentials Self Foam Facial Wash Review

This was the first ever facial cleanser I ever used. I have normal skin and only get the rare breakout. I decided to start buying stuff for my face due to wanting to see what all the fuss was about. I went with Clean & Clear because it is always on special and was a great starting product. I loved the smell of this stuff and it was start a great foaming cleanser as I doesn't smell awful like the L'Oreal foaming cleanser I am using at the moment as it smells so strongly of fragrance. I found using this foaming cleanser made my skin look so beautiful and glowy. This was a great starting product and you must try it if you are like me and put anything on my skin without having a reaction. I would definitely repurchase this.

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.

This was one of the cleansers I tried when I was an early teen and I didn't find it anything amazing.

I love the pump packaging and the fact that you can easily see how much is left, but, the actual cleanser itself just doesn't meet the needs of my skin (back then or now). I'm not a fan of foam cleansers like this in general and this one was the same. I felt it didn't really get into my pores and give them a good clean out and only did half the job. I did like that it didn't dry my skin out or irritate my sensitive skin, but, it had no positive effects on the condition of my skin or preventing/clearing breakouts. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it to those who get blemishes on a regular bases as I feel this isn't strong enough to have an effect on troubled skin (like mine).

This is an okay standard cleanser for those with normal skin who just want a gentle cleanser for general everyday cleansing. Because of it's lack of cleansing power it's not the greatest at removing makeup either though so keep that in mind (leftover makeup stuck in your pores = blemishes). There far better cleansers available at a similar price point that I would choose over this

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this and won't be repurchasing it.

So I have normal-(slightly) dry skin and this irritated it so much! Luckily I didn't use it much because I only got it in a little sample size, but it dried my skin out so much, made it go red and a bit flaky from irritation and, if anything, made my blemishes worse because it was drying them out :(

The worst part is that although it made my skin terrible, it didn't even do a good job of removing make up or anything, like most other cleansers I have tried are able to do.

Maybe if you had a lot of oil in your skin and didn't wear make up, or cleaned your make up off with something else first, this would work for you, but I absolutely hated it.

This felt absolutely awful on my face! It felt like I'd rubbed chemicals all over my face, and made my skin irritated and red. This product made my face feel really raw, and dry. It then went shiny and oily. I didn't see any improvement in my skin, if anything this further irritated any pimples I had. It didn't affect my blackheads at all, and eventually made my face more oily/shiny, not less! The Self Foam Facial Wash didn't meet any of it claims, it was a total disappointment. I would certainly NEVER purchase this product again. It's one of the worst products I have ever put on my face.

This product completely dried out of my skin and left it very irritated. This product made no visible improvement to my skin. The bright orange colour of this product made it not only feel like you were rubbing a bunch of chemicals into your skin but look like it too. On a lighter note I enjoyed the packaging and the fact that it was a light and fluffy foam.

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with this product. I wouldn't say I have sensitive skin - very few products irritate me - but this gave me chemical burns on my chin and cheeks, next to my nose! The rest of my face felt super dry. It's a very harsh formula that smells very heavily of chemicals. No pleasant cover-up scent here! Overall not a recommended product and I am now wary of the entire Clear & Clear line.

I wasn't to impressed with this foaming acne wash, as it really dried out my skin and left it quite tight and patchy. Although it was super easy to apply and the scent was lovely, not to mention it's affordable too, it just wasn't gentle enough to use. I used it for about four days so I could determine if it was the product or my night cream reacting to it. Alas it was the Clean and Clear foaming wash. Maybe my skin was to sensitive for some of the ingredients.

I ended up using this cleanser when my usual one ran outm texture of the product, but I found it didn't do a good job with getting rid of the breakouts. Over I found this to be an OK cleanser but not the best.

Over .

I have very sensitive and problematic skin prone to dryness/ezcema and allergic rashes (hives and contact dermatitis) but I went through a spate of acne and tried a number of products to get this under control. I always love a good foam, something about it makes you feel squeaky clean! And I loved the pump on this facial wash. This delivers the right amount of product and is very easy to use. That’s about the only thing I liked about this product unfortunately. I used this after removing my makeup with makeup wipes and washing my face with some warm water. The facial wash felt like any other foam but I did notice it had quite a harsh smell to it, very strong and more of a chemical based smell to it. This put me off a bit at first because I really like my skin care to not have much of a smell at all. I used my hands and lathered my face up and washed off. Unfortunately very quickly after using this my skin felt super dried out ( reminded me of that feeling when you put a face mask on and you want to stretch your skin and make the mask crack to relieve it ). I followed with a oil and moisturiser and this relieved it and went to bed. The next morning I noticed it had irritated several parts of my face which broke out in a contact type dermatitis and it was a little red (and angry). I didn’t use this again as my skin couldn’t handle this product. As I mentioned I have sensitive problematic skin so I wouldn’t recommend this to someone with very sensitive skin like myself but to someone more robust it may be ok. Because I had a reaction to it I really couldn’t say if it would have helped with the acne in the longer term. I would definitely not use again.
