Clean & Clear Natural Bright Face Wash Review

11 Replies

Hello, people!

Clean & Clear, one of my favorite brands, has recently introduced a new face wash to their range of products in India! If you regularly visit departmental stores/shopping malls, your eyes cannot miss this little, eye-catchy bottle that contains the rose colored gel – with tiny bubbles in it!

Since the weather is getting tackier these days, I thought I should try a gentler but an oil free cleanser – and that is when this nature bright face wash (with rose and honey extracts) caught my eyes during a short visit to the nearest store! I’ve been using it for more than a month now and I shall be sharing my experience with the product today in detail!

Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash! #BeAlwaysReady with Oil Free Skin : My Experience + Photos

35 Replies

May, 2016 – Peak summer at my part of the world. (Chennai, India!). 

One fine morning, I woke up early; rushed up to the porch to check my newly germinated baby plants! (This is what I usually do after the ‘seed sowing’!) The baby seedlings smiled at me looking fresh, bright and full of greenery, in spite of the horrible sun right above their heads! With the same ‘fresh’ mood, I grabbed a hand mirror to see my face, hoping it’d look all glow-y after all the homemade skin treatments! (Especially, I was hoping for an oil-free, bright glow after I used this special homemade face pack the previous day! Recipe coming soon along with other oily skin care tips for summer!)

Clean and Clear Deep Action Oil Control Face Wash Review

21 Replies

Hi friends! :)

Clean & Clear products used to work wonders on my skin during my school days. It was just perfect for my oily and pimple prone skin. But after the range got revamped, it failed to suit my needs. I have been keeping away from them for a long time now. Recently I saw this one in the supermarket aisle and I wanted to try it since I started reliving my happy experiences with clean & clear back in the day. Now I will review the product for you.

Clean and Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Purifying Apple Review

27 Replies

Hello beauties,

When Clean and Clear foaming facials introduced new variants, I promised myself that I am going to try all three variants one after one. Then, I have to pick one among three.. hmm which one? I have a kind of aversion on cherry flavor; it reminds me of cough syrup! So, I reserved it for some other day and my eye scrutinized next variant, its lemon. Wow!! My favorite, Yes, I am a lemony person but I felt the color wasn’t appealing. The remaining flavor is Green apple and picked it immediately. Ahh!! Don’t think I bought because I had no options but I was hypnotized by its cute color and package. Hehehe!!.. Thanks for your patience reading all the blah blah blah!!

Price and Quantity:

Rs.50 for 50 ml

 

Shelf Life: 

24 months

My Take:

Transparent plastic bottle with purple flip cap. It is available in 20 ml, 50 ml & 100 ml packs. The package is quite sturdy therefore no worries of leakage.

Color of the face wash is mild green with bursting beads. The consistency is slightly runny. It is a mild fruity smell. The fragrance is lovely though it doesn’t smells exactly like green apple.

It is a Johnson & Johnson product which is a trustworthy brand for many including me. Clean & Clear morning energy face wash purifying apple has bursting beads which is green in color. The beads are soft, it does dissolves but you need to put some effort on mashing it. When you squeeze the face wash for single use you might get 1 or 2 beads.

Good consistency hence it spreads on skin easily. It doesn’t lather too much therefore removing the foam is an easy job. It cleanse the face nicely. The Clean and Clear didn’t make my skin dry and stretchy. It completely removes the trace of oiliness and prevents oil secretion for 2 hours.

The product claims that it helps in preventing common skin problem. It does not break out my skin. It does nothing to existing acne. This one didn’t cause any problem to my face thus I am completely satisfied.

I am not a big fan of neither green apple nor green color but after using it I got addicted to it.
In fact, I didn’t keep up my promise of trying all flavors. Yes, I have finished more than 6 bottles of green apple but not yet tried lemon. Once I got berry flavor but before finishing it, I bought green apple once again. I’m completely under the spell of Clean & Clear morning purifying Apple.

 

PROS:

  • Good consistency
  • Decent price
  • Mild cleanser
  • Travel friendly and cute package
  • Perfect face wash for oily skin
  • Cleanses skin properly
  • Does not break out my skin
  • Wont clog pores

CONS:

  • Not for dry skin beauties
  • No ingredients list (huh…unbelievable)
  • It cannot control oil more than 2 or 3 hours

 

Rating: 4.3/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes. It is a decent product. It helps to keep your skin healthy.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

YES! Nothing would stop me from buying it again.

Clean and Clear Skin Balancing Moisturizer Review

10 Replies

Since I’m oily skinned, I get attracted to any product that says oil-free/oil-control. I can compare my situation to that of bees getting attracted to nectar! Ha-ha!

I’m sure many of you must have tried this moisturizer and are still using it. Since I’m oily skinned, finding the right moisturizer for my skin type is a difficult task. I’ve come across products which claim to be oil free but left my skin feeling greasy. But this one did not disappoint. Here’s why.

Price and Quantity: 

Rs.80 for 100 ml.

 

Shelf Life: 

Best before 3 years from the date of manufacture.

 

Ingredients: 

Picture provided

My Experience:

The moisturizer comes in a sturdy bottle with a flip-top cap having a small hole to dispense just the right amount of lotion. The cap shuts tightly and thus there is no fear of any leakage.

The moisturizer is white in color and is of a medium consistency. Not too runny and not too thick. It blends easily on my skin. The fragrance is not bothersome at all.

The moisturizer contains salicylic acid and we all know it helps in treating acne and blemishes. I have used this product for over a year and it never broke me out. I’ve noticed it helps in preventing breakouts. I feel this lotion is perfect for summer as it won’t clog the pores. It does not leave any white cast even if you over apply. I use it before applying foundation. If you have a foundation which is difficult to blend then just mix a little of this lotion with the foundation and it will blend effortlessly. Clean & Clear moisturizer keeps oil in check for around 4 hours.

In my opinion, this won’t be suitable for those having normal and dry skin as it won’t moisturize well and there are plenty options in the market. I’ve noticed even on my oily skin during winter it does not moisturize dry patches well.

I dislike the shape of the bottle though. Also, after finishing nearly half the product it becomes a pain to dispense the lotion. It just doesn’t come out easily. So I keep the bottle standing down on the cap so that the lotion accumulates and I can take it out easily.

This moisturizer does not contain SPF. I wish it had.

 

PROS:

  • Very cheap
  • Best suited for oily skin
  • Contains salicylic acid
  • Did not break me out
  • Blends easily and doesn’t feel greasy
  • Keeps my skin oil free for around 4 hours
  • Travel friendly packaging
  • Easily available.

CONS:

  • It is a pain to take out the lotion after finishing half the bottle
  • Does not contain SPF
  • Not suitable for those having dry skin

 

Rating: 3.5/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Well, if you are oily skinned and you want a decently priced moisturizer for daily use then you can go for this. For those who want to try other brands, Neutrogena and Cetaphil have good ones.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Not really. Although this one is good, I have more oil free/oil control moisturizers lying around which I am yet to try. I want to finish this off soon.

Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Brightening Berry Review

15 Replies

Hello ladies,

So, how have all of you been doing today? I have another review, this time a face wash. This is one product that is so important in the cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine that one cannot afford to make a mistake when selecting the right one for you. It can either make or break your day. I never knew how important it is to NOT use soap on your face until I accidentally started using a face wash. And, now there’s no looking back. I have found my go-to face wash, Ponds daily face wash. However, as always nothing stops me from trying out different and new products just for the heck of it!!

  • Read: Clean and Clear Clear Fairness Cream Review

   Today, the star is Clean & Clear morning energy face wash. This is not the regular. It has undergone modifications or so it claims. We’ll soon find out about that. I got this face wash not because I was unhappy with my Pond’s but I was totally sold out on how it looks!! Just look at it people.. the cute bottle, the color, the bursting beads (?) in it.. I fell for the packaging. Excellent marketing I must say!! But, me happy that I got a small bottle and you’ll know why once you read on.
Price & Quantity:

Rs. 50 for 50 ml.

 

Key Ingredients:

Special ingredients (??) but otherwise NONE!!! mentioned. I wonder what special ingredients go into this apart from the berries

 

Shelf Life:

24 months from the date of manufacture.

 

My Experience:

Packaging: Like I said the packaging is cute. I fell for it. It is a small clear plastic bottle with a purple flip cap. I am not sure how travel friendly it is but seems so unless it’s squished or squeezed inside the suitcase!

Color, Consistency & Fragrance: The color is a nice light pink. The texture is typically face wash, soapy but light and runny and not creamy and thick. Plus, you can see the bursting beads in it. Getting it out of the bottle for a picture was quite a tedious task for me. The smell is very BERRY-BERRY. So fruity and so sweet and so nice.. I love the smell :D

 

How it works for me: It DID NOT work for me. But then that is because I have extremely dry skin. It broke me out big time after I used it just two times! I guess the packaging lured me into it especially the pink beads in it.
The face wash as such is a little runny and does not lather very much. It gives a squeaky clean effect but it leaves behind a feeling that there is some residue left behind. Surprisingly, though it says oil-free, it is not too drying for my skin too. The smell however is gone after the wash. I am not sure of their claims of bursting energy and so on and so forth but then mine is not the skin type to be tested upon. I cannot speak for the bursting beads effect too as they are too tiny to lay your hands on to burst them. But, yes it does brighten up the face. Plus, it does not sting or irritate the eye much unlike many others.

Those with oily skin will like it because my oily-skin sister-in-law vouches for this. She does not use any other! And it does not clog pores or so my sister says. Being a Johnson & Johnson product, it speaks for itself. It comes in two more variants, a yellow one and a green one but I have not checked on them. Have any one of you tried these? How did it work for you?

PROS:

  • Its not pricey.
  • Availability in all drugstores and supermarkets.
  • The packaging and smell is pleasant and travel friendly too.
  • The consistency is runny and light.
  • Lathers pretty okay.
  • Oily-skin individuals will like it.
  • Oil-free and won’t clog pores.
  • Squeaky clean feel after wash.
  • Does brighten up face as claimed.
  • Not drying as claimed.
  • Does not irritate eyes.

CONS:

  • The smell does not linger on for long.
  • Not meant for dry-skin individuals obviously.
  • No ingredients mentioned.
  • Mediocre face wash.

 
Rating:
3/5 (-1 as it did not suit me, -1 as it is just very mediocre).

 

Do I Recommend?:

Those with oily skin wil benefit from this. But, if you have your go-to face wash, don’t bother. Else, worth a try. Can be a hit or miss!

 

Would I Repurchase?:

On a serious note, NO! but then if something is so cute, how can you pass it by??? Would you?

Until next time..  Stay beautiful and smile always!
