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...

Extra gentle cleansing foam

Clinique is generally good for sensitive skins, and this cleanser is designed for extra sensitive skins! I like how velvet the foam feels and the light scent. It is extremely easy and quick to use in busy mornings!
Velvety-soft foam!

I LOVE this foaming cleanser. I used to use another brand of foaming cleanser which I really liked. That one was discontinued but luckily I found this great one from Clinique. First, I love the ease and convenience of a pump container cleanser. Easy to apply, just shake a few times and press the nozzle . Thick velvet soft foam is dispensed in your hand. When applied to your face it gently starts to remove grime, oil etc. Easy to rinse off too. The fragrance reminds me of "Ivory bar soap" which is a natural, clean scent. Love it for my sensitive skin!

As someone with extremely temperamental skin, it's taken me years to find something that doesn't break out, dry out, or irritate my skin, but this is it! After use, my face feels clean and fresh, without that itchy tight feeling that ends up leading to dead skin. A little water-based moisturizer and I'm ready for the day. Good to use multiple times a day. And my makeup has never gone on so smoothly after a face wash. So long as no one changes anything, I'll be buying and recommending this product for life.
LOVE THIS GENTLE CLEANSER!

This is my go-to cleanser!!! I use it morning and night. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin AND actually cleanses deeply enough to wash off my mineral sunscreen. On days when I wear more makeup, I use the take the day off Oil Cleanser and follow with this one. My combination skin and other concerns can be complicated to work with but this cleanser has been great. I hope Clinique keeps it in production for the decades to come!
Smells like burning wood and does not work as well

I loved the old Clinique gentle foaming cleanser but when it was no longer available I ordered this one. It absolutely reeks of burning wood or something strange and it does not cleanse the way the old one used to.
