Clinique Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser Review

This is great in that the teeniest bit turns into a super thick luxurious foam that feels great to work into your skin.

However, I find the smell completely overpowering (it has a very strong clinical/hospital smell) and it leaves my skin squeaky clean (not good). My skin feels absolutely stripped of moisture after using this and subsequently requires a heavy duty moisturiser.

I love a number of Clinique products, but I just cannot get along with this.

I received this in a Clinique bonus time pack. My skin hates the soap in their 3 step regime, so I was interested to see how this would compare. This is a super concentrated foaming cleanser and you only need the tiniest bit for it to create a lot of foam. It has no perfume to it at all.

Sadly this had the same effect on me as other foaming cleansers - tight, squeaky clean skin that feels like it's about to burn. No matter what moisturisers, oils or other soothing products I put on my skin afterward, that feeling doesn't go. I tried just using this when travelling due to its handy 30ml size but still couldn't tolerate even occasional use. I had the same reaction when using a similar Moisture Mist foam cleanser so there is something in these products that my otherwise normal skin does not like. Other reviewers love both these product but they're definitely not for me.

I used this a few times to make sure I wasn't having just a one-off bad experience.

The texture of this is quite creamy, and there's just something about it that makes it look 'silvery'. I can't explain it very well, but it's one of those 'shiny' products.

I washed my face with this and every time, my face felt really, really tight like someone was pulling on the skin. And then it made my nose go drier than the Sahara! It took a little bit to turn it in to a lather too, so not sure if that has something to do with it.

I guess my skin just doesn't like this product. Which is a shame, I liked that the smell wasn't that strong, but it's just not right for me.

This is a cleanser I used to use in my daily routine (until about 2 months ago), so have had plenty of experience with it, and overall its a great product. It's quite pricey but definitely does remove make up and sunscreens like it claims I have somewhat sensitive skin and didn't have any problems with that. However its VERY strong acting, and only the smallest amount is needed. Because of this is very easy to use too much straight onto your face rather than foaming a small amount up in your hands, leaving my skin tight and dry. After a while I got the hang of the proportions, but have started trying other products to see if anything else works better for my skin type (oily T zone dry cheeks). In saying that though I still keep this in my shower to use in between new trial products and on days I feel like I need a good cleanse. Added bonus is that it lasts for months!

My skin is combination, and I find this cleanser to be very gentle and removes all traces of make up. It's very creamy and I find I only need to use a little amount which easily spreads once it's mixed with water. It changes to a gentle foam, and easily applies to my face. I find it great for getting rid of foundation, but prefer to use a specific eye cleanser for my eye area.

Clinique's Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser is a powerhouse product. I received a couple of these as part of a recent GWP allowing me to test out one of Clinique's cleansers I've yet to currently try.

Most foaming cleansers I have tried have been the liquid pump type but this product is a rich cream cleanser which comes in a squeeze tube. It's easy-to-use packaging but does mean it's also very easy to squeeze out too much product. The cleanser is very thick and creamy and you really only need a small amount. I apply this with wet hands to my face then splash a little more water on and work it in to get it foaming. If you overdo it and apply it too thick it can take a bit to wash off!

I generally wear a full face of makeup, and will normally use a separate makeup remover first but when having a lazy moment this removes facial makeup pretty well.

I also have acne-prone, reactive skin and normally use Clinique's Antiblemish cleanser, but this doesn't set my skin off and leaves it feeling clean but not overtight like some cleansers do.

Would I purchase it again? Probably not, the price-tag is quite a lot for a product that is good but not a standout. I might purchase it as part of a set or if it was on special though.

This is another great Clinique product. It feels lovely and creamy on the skin and does an outstanding job of removing all traces of makeup. I'm not sure that I would repurchase again though, as I feel like there are many others that do something similar for a much smaller price tag. I'll still be sticking to my Clinique cleansing bars however!

I love this cleanser. I have very dry skin so trying to find a cleanser that doesn't dry it out even more is hard. I love this as it removes make up too without making my face feel tight after its been washed. It leaves my skin soft and smooth
