Most Helpful Positive Review This cleanser cleared up my horrible contact dermatitis! I was having repetitive episodes of contact dermatitis that's was all over my eyes. The breakouts were red, dry and painful! It seemed like. Everything that I put on my face caused a new breakout or furthered the problem. The only thing I could tolerate was Vaseline. My hair stylist recommend this cleanser because she said so needed to clean any bacteria on my skin to resolve the problem. I tired this cleanser and it truly help saved my skin! Using it twice daily along with Vaseline at first and later Clinique moisture surge overnight mask, I was able to resolve my contact dermatitis and get my skin back to normal. I still use this cleanse daily to keep my skin clean it has kept any further contact dermatitis from developing and has never caused my dry sensitive skin any issues, thank you Clinique!
Most Helpful Critical Review Smells Terrible I noticed that my face looked less red after one use, but I'm returning this tomorrow. It smells awful. Like another reviewer said, even if it isn't harsh, it smells like it's hurting my skin. It gave me a headache and is so potent. It's such a shame because it could be a great cleanser - I just don't want to put something that smells that strong into my sensitive skin.
Reviewed by 56 customers A Cleanser for Oilier Days 5
Rina from AZ
THIS IS NOT AN EVERYDAY CLEANSER FOR DRY/ECZEMA PRONE SKIN. However, this cleanser is VERY GOOD and NON IRRITATING if you don't use it everyday. I suggest this cleanser for days when you feel oiler/dirtier. For regular days a non-foaming cleanser is best for dry/eczema prone skin. I specifically bought this product for the purpose of 1-2 days a week use for oily days and I have a non foaming cleanser for everyday use. (I have dry skin and mild eczema) if you have bad eczema and very sensitive skin this product may irritate your skin and dry it out.

Best for sensitive skin 5
Stacey from Florida
I have sensitive oily and blemish prone skin that gets worse when I use too many acne skin products. I absolutely love this cleansing foam! It removes all my oil, dirt, spf, and makeup with just 1 wash. My skin is less irritated and less red now. I enjoy the lightness of the foam and my face feels clean. Highly recommend to everyone!

Great cleanser for sensitive skin 5
Southern Rabbit from Atlanta GA
It's hard for me to find a cleanser I can use regularly due to my senstive skin. I've bought this cleanser over and over again and it works great for me.
My face dosen't feel stiff after I wash my face. Love it. 5
VR from Lathrop ca
I use this day and night just one pump or two if you have makeup on.
Harsh Smell 3
Kinz from Iowa
I can't seem to get past the smell. I want to love it but I can't imagine continuing to put anything that smells like straight chemicals/acetone on my face. It's enough to make your eyes burn. I've tried it twice, nothing special so far. It didn't cause a breakout or reaction which is nice for my sensitive skin but man I am struggling to keep using it with the smell.
Great product 5

Marie from PA
I absolutely love this foaming face wash. I have dry skin, more so in the winter. This feels so gentle on my face and does not leave it feeling stripped after washing. I'm just happy that I decided to try something new, I will not switch now!
Cleans well without drying 5
ejheise from CA
I've only used non-foaming cleansers for the past decade, but a bout of dermatitis led me to try something new, despite my hesitation that anything foaming would be too drying. This cleanser does not leave my skin dry or tight, but does a great job of cleaning; when I follow it up with micellar water there is never any makeup or residue left. It does not lead to any stinging, even on the most irritated areas of skin. It's a good follow-up for oil cleansing as well, but it does such a good job cleansing on its own that I don't bother double cleansing on days I don't wear makeup. I would recommend this to anyone with dry or sensitive skin who wants to be sure their skin is clean but not stripped.
I buy this product over and over. 5

Great product! 5
Sarina from Houston
My mom recommended this face wash to me because I have very oily and acne prone skin. After a month a noticed such a big difference in my face. Now going on 3 years! Love it!
Not good for already dry skin 1
Makenna from Seattle, WA
It throws me off that it's suppose to be good for dry skin but after every use my skin was so stripped and tight.
Love it 5

Love this product! 5
KT from Muskogee, Ok
I received this product as a gift. I usually use the liquid daily cleanser but really like this one much better.
Works wonders 5
Kristy from Alburtis, PA
I generally buy all Clinique brand facial cleansers because my face dries out easily and I break out with other cleansers. Even though I am a Clinique fan, I was hesitant to try this. This is a great facial cleanser, isn't harsh, and does the job well. I will definitely continue to use this one.
Perfect for dry skin! 5
The Cat Diva from Sicklerville, NJ
I'm very happy with it. I've tried other brands but I always end up coming back to my first love, Clinique.

Not good for eczema 1
B from Manassas
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.
AMAZING 5
Alliecat from Salt Lake City, UT
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 🙌🏼
Got rid of nose bumps! 5
KasMae from Henderson, KY
I've ALWAYS have had dry, scaly skin on my does that requires major exfoliation. But the rest of my face needs gentle cleansing. This one product does the job of both without being too harsh on my skin. My pores are almost non-exsistent and makeup looks flawless.
Love it 5
