Finally! Best cleanser ever!!!
I have had the worst time finding a cleanser that cleans well without irritating my sensitive skin. This cleanser is absolutely perfect. Nice clean, soft, calm skin. I have combo/sensitive skin and this truly has worked wonders! Please, please, please Clinique keep this in your line forever.

Wish it were better
I am a long time Clinique user (over 25 years) and this is the first time I have to write a negative review about a product. Usually I really like Clinique products and have never found one I did not like at all, but I have to say The Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam is a failure. I have sensitive, dry s...

Smells Like Paint
Reviewed at

I only used it once, but unfortunately the paint smell is keeping me from using it a second time. It smells harsh. Maybe it's not really harsh, that's just how it smells. Also, my face did feel tight afterwords. I dont consider my skin to be very dry, but rather dry/combination. I will be returning this and purchasing what I originally wanted - the mild bar soap. My Ulta didnt have the mild one (they only had the acne version) so the lady suggested I try this stuff. I will be taking this one back and stopping by a department store for the mild bar soap instead.
Not good for eczema
I used this product for two days and returned it by the third day. This is definitely not a product for people with eczema. It left my skin so dry and stripped and it's peeling.
Why does this smell like chemicals?
Reviewed at

This product was very gentle and cleansing on the skin, which was what I expected but my first impression was that this product has a TERRIBLE chemical smell. I tried to give it a chance but the smell was so unbearable for me and really turned me away from it. How can this be so gentle and have a scent of horrible chemicals/paint smell? It made me not want to use it on my sensitive face again and immediately returned it. Would not purchase again unless it was scentless like the other products.
Beautiful facial foam!❤️
Reviewed at

I was at Clinique last week and my friend who works there asked me if I ever tried the foam as I use the mild liquid and I never new there was a foam! Wow I am so delighted to have found this beautiful soap! I recommend this for Any skin type! It's luxurious, one pump in the palm of my hand with a dabble of water foams into a beautiful lather and what a job it does cleansing my face and neck! It rinses Easily! It leaves my skin , soft, thoroughly clean and no more dry flakes! I love the ingredients it has genitian root extract it has no scent, very minimal good scent and it boosts the skin brightness! I follow up with my absolute favorite facial clarifying number 1 and wow! This product is Excellent and anyone who is looking for an excellent facial soap should try this velvety soft foam, you'll be reaching for it day and night! Excellent product Clinique! The best facial cleanser on the market hands down!
AMAZING
I've struggled with dry scaly skin my whole life. Making it hard to wear foundation because it looked gross and textured. This face wash has worked WONDERS on my skin. Give it a try!!! I use it with the exfoliating toner and I will never stop buying 🙌🏼
