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.

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 strong chemicals
The first time I used this "gentle" cleanser, I had to immediately double check that I had the right product because of the very strong chemical smell. I can't think of any face product I've EVER used that smells like it came from my husbands garage! I does a wonderful job of removing makeup but I wouldn't feel comfortable using it daily. I'm rather shocked that its labeled a gentle cleanser since it smells like it would take the paint off a car or furniture, lol!

Super gentle and doesn't smell THAT BAD

I ordered this because I wanted the gentlest cleanser I could find to use in my Three Step routine. My eyes are extremely sensitive due to some eye health issues, so I have to be careful. This foam is super gentle and a great texture. Does it smell a little chemically? Sure, but it's not that bad, and besides, what do you expect from a company that doesn't add extra fragrance? SOMEthing SOMEtime is going to have a scent, because covering it up would require ingredients they purposely don't use. All in all, a great little product.
Awful Scent

I had really wanted to get the foaming cleanser but it was out of stock so I ordered this instead. I would return it if I could but it came with the free gift and apparently you have to return that too. And of course I had used some of the items in there so I'm stuck with it. But it has the worst chemical smell as I think some others have commented on. I guess I will have to use it but I'm going to use a lot smaller amount than the first pump that I almost gagged on. I do not recommend this if you are sensitive to smells at all.
It really is extra gentle

Ordered this on sale and tried it for the first time. Gentle and effective, not at all drying. It does not smell bad. It smells unscented. With no fragrance added, the smell is a little chemical-ish but not in a bad way. Expect I will use this in the winter and switch to the foaming face cleaner in the summer.
