Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser Review

I used to use this as a teenager and young adult (up until my early 20s). My ex boyfriend introduced this to me as he had acne problems, and at the time my skin was really oily.

This is a gel like substance that has micro beads that exfoliate and slough off dead skin. The smell is quite nice (a manufactured orange smell).

I used to use this while in the shower and used my hands to apply and rub it into my skin. This was enough to exfoliate my skin and to make it feel clean, soft and oil free.

Because my skin is now dry and tends to be a little sensitive, this would be too coarse and drying for me. I think this is great for oily skin, but those with dry skins should keep away.

Having sensitive skin this broke my skin out very badly and very quickly.

I didnt like the fact it stung my face and it seemed to be taking a layer to many off when I was foaming it up.

I used this at the off chance it was going to react to my skin and found it did, so wouldnt recommend to people with sensitive skin at all.

The smell is rather nice however and it did give a good clean leaving my skin feeling nice and smooth and a great foundation for the mornings makeup routine. I did have to apply and leave to soak a little more moisturizer as it was a little drying for me. But that could be as I'm not a teen anymore. Would highly recommend to an age of 13/17 as thats where I feel it would be the most useful

The packaging is rather appealing.

I am halfway through my bottle of this product. As I have very acne prone teenage skin I thought this might be a nice way to refresh my face. It is a very average product for me. I sometimes use this at night as well as it doesn't really feel like it wakens me up or anything but it does help to scrub my face should I feel the need to. It is nice with the bead like additives. Doesn't smell dreadful. I didn't notice much in the way of radiant skin so hopefully others have a better result with this. Average all round in my book.

I found this product did not make a difference to my face - I used it until it was all used up as directed but didn't notice any improvement to my skin.

Would not use again.

I really like this cleanser and found that it actually did "wake" my skin up. When I use it in the morning, coupled with a splash of cold water when I cleanse my face, I feel like it freshens up my skin and while it does give my skin a real burst to wake it up, I'm not sure that it look any brighter but just feels more fresh. It's as if my skin has had a morning coffee already to wake it up. My skin no longer feels tired like it is when I first wake up.

I also love the smell of this cleanser. Even though it is a "fake" orange smell, I love the citrus scents in the morning. In saying that I am a sucker for citrus scents, so if you are not into citrus scents then this may be a little overpowering and strong smelling for you. The pump is easy to use and distributes a good amount of product out of the nozzle. It's also easy to control how much you need,as I find I only need about half a pump sometimes.

I have combination oily skin and find twit this cleanser is good at removing excess oil and dirt built up over night. I like the bursting beads as they gently exfoliate the skin while not being too harsh. I found that this cleanser wasn't too drying on my skin, but if you have dry skin the exfoliating beads may be a bit too harsh

I've owned this cleanser for quite a while now and I'm sad to say that it is because it is too harsh for my dry skin. I would not recommend this for people with dry or sensitive skin as this cleanser can sting your face and make it drier than normal afterwards. I've had to apply a thick layer of moisturiser to my face immediately after using this to prevent the drying effect it leaves.

However, it does do what it states on the bottle. This cleanser does wake me up with it's invigorating citrus scents. It smells like zesty oranges. It does give a good deep clean. The bursting beads are also great for an awakening affect because they do freshen up your face - plus they're fun to burst with your fingers.

One concern that I do have is that many reviewers are commenting that these beads are exfoliating. They are not exfoliating. Very few beads are distributed every use (around 4 beads per use) and they are soft beads that burst in your fingers thus releasing awakening vitamins.

My final verdict is that this cleanser is great for freshing up your skin. The beads are fun to burst on your face and the smell is pleasant. For those with particularly oily skin I would recommend this. The price is reasonable and it's one of the cheaper products that you can easily buy at the supermarket. But, for those with dry, sensitive or normal skin - stay away! This product has a harsh and severely drying after-effect. If you do happen to buy it, make sure you don't use it everyday and apply a thick layer of moisturiser immediately after use.

I use this everyday. Cleans and refreshes my skin without drying it out which some products tend to do. Removed makeup as well which is a bonus

I have oily but sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and I loved this product. I purchased this on special so got it for a great price so and it's a large bottle with a lot of product in it which is always a bonus.

The smell is pleasant and definitely great for the mornings to wake you up, but il also use this in the evenings. I find when I do this it takes off my makeup well but generally need to double cleanse to make sure I remove everything.

It leaves my skin refreshed and clean without leaving it dry.

I always use Clean & Clear products and I never have any problems with them, the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Cleanser was a slight exception though. I find this product good as it doesnt dry my skin out and it leaves it feeling soft but I have found that if I use this product for long periods of time I start to break out a little. It is a good cleanser if used less frequently though.

I wake up every morning and use this cleanser, i love the way my face feels so invigorated after using it that when i don't use it i can notice the difference. I prefer this to other cleansers on the market. It does seem to clump up a little bit in the spout though
