Preferred format of cleanser

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Love the product and was fortunate to receive a free sample. However, as much as it's effective at makeup removal I personally won't be using this product for eye makeup removal in future, as it clouds your eyes, and will stick to the existing product for this.

The best

This is a rich cleanser which does the job. Feels lovely on the skin. Doesn't strip you of your own oils. Washes off easily with soap.

I tried this from the M&S beauty advent calendar and I was immediately impressed with it. I’ve always used liquid cleansers but this makes my skin feels so much cleaner and softer. It’s fabulous!

Great for sensitive skin

Originally posted on Clinique UK

This balm is the best cleansing balm! I have highly sensitive skin and suffer from dermatitis at times and this product this never causes any flare ups or disturbances. Despite other reviews saying its smells greasy it most certainly doesn't, it's just fragrance free which should always be seen as a bonus. It's more on the expensive side however will say lasts about 4/5 months if used every single day. 10/10

Works well on very sensitive skin

I have used this product for some years since I had an eczema flare up and could not use anything else on my skin. Highly recommended I would not be without it as it is so gentle but also effective.

Confused

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I don't understand this product at all. Maybe it's great and I just don't know how to use it properly, but it shouldn't take much working out. Use the balm first. Okay, but it's a solid, waxy substance; how I rub this into my face, exactly. Then rinse off, pat dry. Easy enough. Then cleanse. Isn't this a cleanser? Why do I need to use two cleansers? I got this as a freebie but I'll stick to my usual Clinque face wash, thanks.

Instant redness reaction

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I was recommended this product by a friend and was very excited to try it out. I have rosacea and sensitive skin and I'm usually very careful with trying out new products, however I decided to try this one because it was listed as "Safe for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes" on Clinique's website. Unfortunately I had an instant redness reaction and both my skin and eyes wwre burning and itching for a while. I won't use this product again!
