Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser

Up until early last year, I had been using Clinique products all of my adult life.  I thought I needed a change, but this was right after I had my baby, so I think I made the changes mistakenly now.

This was one of the few products I had left.


So, I have been using Philosophy for this entire time, and I don't notice any problematic areas of my skin, but my face also never feels "scrubbed".  It bothers me sometimes, especially on hot days or when I use a lot of products.

The texture is so smooth, thick, and creamy.


The most important thing about this cleanser: you only need a LITTLE bit.  When I used this before, I was cleansing my face by hand and I would use about a dime size.  Now I am using the Clarisonic and I use about a quarter size of Purity, so when I used too much of this, I could probably use it on my entire body there was so much.  It lathers like shaving foam, but it is really lathery.  But it does what it says- it rinses right off!

This cleanser gave my face that sqeaky-clean (yes, I tested that lol) feeling, and I did experience some tightening feeling as well.  I love this cleanser, but I would probably only use it once a week since it does have a tendency to dry out my skin.  I can see it being beneficial for any skin type, really, and I would totally recommend any of Clinque's skincare.  I actually miss my 3-steps, so I am going to go back to those as soon as I get an order in.

  1. Too bad you do not live in my area. I am a Consultant at Clinique and I could blog about all of our products that I how much I love love love Clinique. I would honestly still use everything even if I did not work there. I AM Addicted to the foaming cleanser I am a skin type 3 so I can use it daily to take off my makeup and then use my three step to follow and balance out my skin before I use the rest of my Clinique goodness,lol. I also love our exfoliating scrub, I like our 7 day but the exfoliating has a lovely tingle. Let me know if you ever want to know anything about Clinique stuff, I bleed green.
