Clean & Clear Essentials Self Foam Facial Wash Review

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.

It is a very basic product, and the only plus side is it's nice citrus scent. After washing your face, your skin will feel quite dry and tight. You can find numerous facial washes in the market that actually do the job of preventing pimples and effectively controlling oil. Overall, I do not think this is worth your money and I do not recommend.

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.
