Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser Review

I have combo skin with very harsh dry patches. It definitely woke me up in the morning, the smell is lovely, but it dried out my skin and a couple of times left an itchy rash around my neck. I'm sure it would work for normal to oily skin types, but if you have any dryness I would really avoid this product.

I used this cleanser growing up and knowing what I know now about cleansers it definitely wasn’t the best but boy was the scent refreshing – nothing screams zesty citrus like this product!

I had the one without the pump so you had to squeeze it out which was ok because I still had control of how much I wanted to dispense. Back then I didn’t wear makeup (oh the horror) so I purely used it to remove excess oil since I have oily skin.

It has a semi-thick gel-like consistency that seems to melt away once you mix it with water against your face. I barely noticed the beads “bursting” but I definitely smooshed and massaged them into my face so I treated it as a gentle exfoliator. The product left a cool tingly feeling and made me believe it was working its magic but alas it didn’t really do much for the skin other than make sure it was nicely cleansed.

I can’t say it prevented breakouts because at that time I didn’t really suffer from it. One thing I didn’t enjoy was how it left my face feeling. After I had patted my face dry my face felt semi-tight with an almost sticky feeling so when I put my hands against my face and pull them away it comes away slowly as if there is some residue left behind. I always rinse my face clean of the product so it was interesting to feel this.

Did it stop me from buying it? No. I would use the Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturiser and to be honest it did the job for me. I think it's a good cleanser to start off with for those who don't have breakouts but just want a simple cleanse but not something I would recommend for those who need heavy duty cleansing (like myself).

I used to use to product when I was a teenager. I remember that at the time I did rather enjoy the product and found it rather a standard, affordable supermarket cleanser.

To be honest I cannot really remember the smell, due to this I don't think it was overpowering.

The cleanser is mainly liquid with little beads in it which I did not find rough on the skin at all, but I also did not find they were particularly helpful with exfoliating.

When I used this product I did not have any complaints against it, only that I grew up and found cleansers that to me have a much nicer texture, clean better and are more moisturising. Nowadays when I think of the texture of this cleanser, it reminds me of dish soap.

Basically, it did what it said it would, but was not outstanding enough for me to recommend it to a friend.

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.

this really cleanses oil from my skin but when i use it too often my skin just drys out, my boyfriend said that this made his skin tingle and burn so ive become very weary of how harsh this product is and if whats in it is actually good for my skin

This product as a morning cleanser did work to wake up my skin but left it feeling tight and dry, and after using it I found my skin getting dryer and dryer as the days went on

it was ok but for myself it dried my skin out really bad and when I stopped using it my face become overly oily will not be using this again

This is deffinetly a great morning face wash it smells and feels very awakening but made no change to my skin at all after a month and abit of use .

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 received some free samples of this a while back and so used it daily. It was a great little go-to cleanser that did the job, but it did have a tendency to dry my skin out a bit which in turn caused blackheads. It was great when my skin was especially oily and it smelt great and it seemed to give pimples the boot too.
