Clinique Liquid Soap: A New Version of An Old Favorite

With cooler weather on the horozion it's time to find a cleanser that will do double duty. No matter what the season my skin is dry. During the warmer months I can get away with using a gel or foaming cleanser. But when fall and winter arrive my skin gets more and more parched.

I face with the choice of using a cleanser that cleans my skin while it strips it dry or I can use a cleanser that adds moisture as it cleans but also leaves behind a filmy residue.

If you read my other product review post you know that I don't have any major skin care concerns. I just need a cleanser that can clean my skin without adding to the dryness.

I think I have found what I have been looking for in Clinique's Liquid Facial Soap.

For those that don't know Clinique has a 3-step skin care routine that involves a cleanser (which is in the form of bar soap), toner and moisturizer (the infamous DDL-Dramaticly Different Lotion)

I'm not big are bar soap, but I used Clinique's way back in the end when I started with makeup. In my opinion the liquid version is far superior than it's sister.

For one it is much easier to use and travel with. It comes in 6.7oz bottle with a handy pump, that can be locked during transit. The bottle itself is made of a heavy plastic. So no worries of it shattering on the bathroom floor.

Performance wise it takes a dime size to cleanse my whole face. It removes all makeup, even mascara. Best part is that it leaves my skin, clean yet not dry. There is no filmy residue and no tight feeling. I haven't experienced any breakouts, but again that isn't something I have problems with.

Clinique's Liquid Soap is available in formulas of Mild -Dry to Combination, Oily Skin, and Extra Mild- Dry to Very Dry.

I use the Extra Mild formula.
