Product Review: Clinique Comforting Cream Cleanser

Posted by beautifulwithbrains | June 8, 2009 .

clinique comforting cream cleanser

Name: Comforting Cream Cleanser
Brand: Clinique
Size: 150ml
Price: €18.00

From Clinique’s website:
Extra-gentle, creamy-rich cleanser is perfect for dry, delicate or sensitive skins. Whipped to perfection so it glides easily over skin, melting makeup and impurities. Leaves your complexion clean, smooth, moist. Massage on, tissue or rinse off.

What I liked:
- removes makeup well
- leaves skin feeling very soft
- soothes skin
- fragrance-free
- the packaging

What I didn’t like:
- makes skin a bit greasy
- the price

I got the Comforting Cream Cleansr as part of a Clinique travel-sized set, which also contained All About Eyes Rich and Continuous Rescue Antioxidant moisturizer. The cleanser is designed for people with sensitive and dry skin. Mine is combination, so I doubt I would have tried this if it hadn’t been part of the set.

The product comes in a simple white tube with a green lid. The cream is white in color, quite rich and spreads well on the skin. Just apply it on dry skin, massage and rinse or tissue off.

Because the cream is thick and concentrated, you only need to use just a little bit and the bottle will last for ages. It removes all traces of makeup well and easily. However, I haven’t tried it on my eyes and lips, so I’m not sure how well it removes waterproof mascara or lipstick.

It rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling very clean, smooth and soft and not dry at all. It doesn’t irritate skin and my dry patches felt soothed. However, I noticed that it made my oily t-zone slightly greasier, so I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone with oily/combination skin.

Despite the product being fragrance free, it still has a faint and clean scent. That’s means no ingredient was added to give the cleanser a scent but all the ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care products have their own smells, so that’s what you’re smelling.

Summary:
Overall, this is a great cleanser for people with dry or sensitive skin. It removes all traces of makeup, is fragrance-free, gentle and soothing. However, it is expensive and, if you have oily skin, it could make it  greasier.

Rating: 4/5

    I don’t use Clinique skincare products at all, my skin does not seem to like them as much. However, their makeup removers are great, though.

    Dao: it’s a shame Clinique skincare products don’t work for you! I tried a few and I love them! I agree, their makeup removers are really good!

    jojoba: that’s too bad!

    Nikki: I really like this makeup remover and I think it would work great for people with dry skin.

    Nicola: that’s too bad! It didn’t dry my skin at all, at least not yet. I’m getting a bit worried but I’ll report if that happens.
