Clean & Clear Essentials Self Foam Facial Wash Review

This is a pretty decent product for a pretty decent price. I've been using this for years on end and I've never had a problem with this.

The packaging is sturdy so you don't have to worry about it tipping over if you're in a rush to squeeze it out (let's face it - we're all in a haste at 6am).

The product itself foams when you pump it out and has a fragrant, pleasant smell that's quite subtle. It leaves your skin with a great feel and a radiant glow.

It doesn't always clear up all of my pores, but it does the job 9 times out of 10.

It's been a while since I've used this, I can't say that I liked it enough to buy it again.

I recommend it to someone who doesn't necessarily have acne prone skin, or actually acne all together. It's a very lightweight formula, that works best on people who get minimal acne. It's no different to a normal bar of soap I have to say.

I used it in conduction with the recommended toner and moisturiser. It actually came in a 3 pack together. The first thing I can tell you about it, was how bad it smelt. It's not a chemical smell, it's a perfume smell, but I hated it. t guess some people may like it, but for me it was too heavy of a scent for a facial wash. It is however something you get used to, and it didn't bother me after a while.

Its a watery substance that the pump turns into soft foam. Perfect, because the smallest of pumps can potentially cover the whole face. I also liked that it was easy to wash off as well, with just a splash of water.

It is also really strong, and completely stripped my skin. Leaving it tight, red and itchy.

I can't say that it did too much for my acne. While it did decrease the size and redness of my pimples in a slow process, it didn't work the way I wanted it to completely remove pimples all together. So something stronger than this is recommended for that.

It does however leave skin feeling extremely soft, and noticeably clean. My skin looked brighter and whiter.

The design of the bottle is good, the pump action is good , the foam is soft.

The scent is medical to me haha.

Now the reason I wouldn't use this again is because it dried my skin out so much that my face was red and cracked.

Ok on clearing the skin.

But I couldn't continue due to the over drying it gave my skin.

I think this would be ok for some with super super oily skin, that needed some serious drying out.

While I used this in the past, recently I purchased this for my newly teen daughter. Great starting cleanser, easy to use, odour is mild, foams up, cleans well & it sturdy in the shower tray. And occasionally I "borrow" it myself. This is mostly on the days where I just need a light face wash or am feeling particularly oily. Well priced & the single pump action means it lasts well.

I friend recommended this product to me - and because it is so affordable I thought I'd give it a try. Loved it! It cleans your face beautifully - getting rid of concealer and foundation. It has a pleasant, fresh smell. I love the idea of a cleansing foam - it works very gently. This is one of those very effective products that's easy to use - and easy on the budget! Will keep using this! xxx

I have normal to dry skin usually with an oily t-zone.

I bought this product because of its claims about preventing blackheads. I used it twice and each time it dried my skin out so bad that it got extremely itchy and my cheeks and nose started flaking.

I think the drying out had a lot to do with the fact that it's self foaming but I did have a lot of high hopes for it because I have a massive issue with blackheads on my nose.

I was very disappointed, it didn't work for me and I will definitely not repurchase.

That is not to say that it won't work for other people, because evidently it has, but I think it's better suited or people with more oily skin.

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.

This product is great value for money. One pump dispenses a good amount of product to use on face and neck, so you are not using too much. The bottle lasts a considerable length of time due to this. The lather has a nice clean fragrance, and does a good job of cleaning my skin. I dont find it too drying, and my skin feels nice afterwards. It certainly helps prevent breakouts on my combination skin, and this is definately a product I would buy again.

I love self foaming cleansers, and this was the first self foaming cleanser I used and made me addicted! This cleanser was really soft and smooth on your skin and you can feel that it really does clean your face. My skin feels clean, smooth and clear after using it.

I found this cleanser easy to use too. I like the pump, firstly because it not only creates a lovely foam out of the cleansing liquid, but it also makes it easy to disperse the product. You don't need too much product either, because the foam slides across your face easily. I find I only need about half a pump each time. I also like how the pump lets me easily squirt out different amounts and is easy to control. I always hate squirting out too much product.

I must also mention that I have oily skin, and find that this cleaner removes all my excess oil. However, when I are dry skin in the summer, I find this cleanser to be quite drying and too harsh on my skin. So I wouldn't recommend this product if you have dry skin.

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.
