Clinique Anti-Blemish Cleansing Bar for Face and Body Review

It does exactly what it says on the box. Works a treat on my face and body. I also love the travel mini version for out and about use.

I got this 3 step sample from the Clinique counter at Smith and Caugheys. The sample came in a little plastic bag and the bar was a decent size for a sample. It works simple enough - just like a body soap bar except for the face. I would wet it and then lather a bit before applying to my face and massaging it around. I have oily/combo skin and am super acne prone and I found that this didn't do anything for my skin. It didn't worsen, but it definitely didn't improve and actually dried my skin a bit. It also didn't provide me with a clean feeling.

It's an overall below average cleanser for me and I would not repurchase it.

The idea of this facial cleaner is interesting - a bar that you use on your face! In terms of design I thought this was a pretty clever idea. It's easy to use and very familiar. I think everyone can relate to having used a bar of soap.

The scent of the bar is very, very mild. I actually didn't notice it at all. It foamed up really well, and was quite easy to use either washing my face at the sink or using it in the shower (I even used it with my cleaning brush a couple of times - it worked nicely). The bar also goes a long way - after a couple of months of use there was still a substantial amount of the bar left.

But beyond that, I wasn't in love with this product. It did a decent job of cleaning my face, but I found it to be quite drying. It also didn't do much for clearing up acne - I actually found that it irritated some of my problem areas.

I love love love Clinique, but for me, this one was a miss.

I received this sample size from the Cliniqe counter at Smith & Caugheys.

I truly love this bar. I would never thought to use a bar of soap on my face. Leaves my skin feeling really clean and fresh. Really gentle on the skin which is great. It did help to clear my blemish away and leaving my skin looking good.

I would definitely consider trying this product again and it is worth trying out. High recommended.

I received this product as part of a trial pack of the anti-blemish solution range from a clinique counter.

Consistency - This product is a bar soap which foams up nicely.

Application - At first I thought it was strange to be washing my face with bar soap, but it lathered up nicely in my hands allowing me to effectively wash my face, I have also used this alongside my olay regenerist face brush at times and it worked well also.

Usage - A small amount of this product goes a long way. The small trial sized bar lasted around a month of everyday use.

Price - This product is a little more expensive than most cleansers I have tried in the past however it would last a long time.

Packaging - The bar was stamped with clinique on the top which was nice, the full size bar comes in a soap box to store it in.

Results - I did enjoy using this product, it cleaned my face effectively without leaving that tight stripped feeling to the skin. It didn't completely get rid of my blemishes but did help keep new ones away.

Skin Type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase - I will definitely consider repurchasing this product when my current one runs out, however I may stick to supermarket cleansers while I remain on a student budget.

Received this as part of a trial set from Clinique counter, never would have dreamed of purchasing myself. The idea of washing my face with soap just seemed insane

The sample has lasted me three weeks so far, so seems really good value.

The bar is super foamy when using, and somehow is non drying. Face is left with no tight feeling.

Product has no perfume or scent which doesn't bother me either.

The bar of soap is a little difficult to travel with or use in the shower. But as it seemed to clear up and slow down blemishes, I can live with it.

Great product, it doesn't dry skin out or sting if you have blemishe or irritate if you have sensitive skin. It's long lasting and reduces and prevents blemishes.It has cleared all my blemishes and I would go a day with out using it (and the rest of the three step kit)

I got this in a sample size when I brought a few other clinique things, I thought that this would be great as I love the rest of the stuff from here but sadly it didnt really help my face, all it did was make it drier than my face usually is which sucks, and made no difference to the blemishes or preventing them, i think that there is better out there for the price. my face did feel a lot softer after the use of this though

This is my everyday cleanser. I originally purchased it because I liked (and still do) the idea of a cleanser in a handy bar form. I love it! It is a bit expensive, but because it's so large (the size of a large bar of soap) it lasts an incredibly long time.

It's incredibly easy to use, lathers up just like soap!, and is very good at removing eye make up.

I love that it comes with a handy little case for travel. Makes those weekends away that much simpler!

I love this bar! such an amazing product to use to clear and cleanse the face! its also really gentle and works well in clearing up skin!
