Last autumn and winter I faced the problem of my skin feeling dry and tightened. I presume that it happened due to poorly chosen care products. So I needed the product that would give me a proper cleansing, yet gentle and soft. And with these intentions I opted for my go-to brand Clarins.
Product details:
What it is:
A gentle foaming cleanser—with comforting cottonseed extract—to remove makeup, excess oils, and grime.
Solutions for:
- Oiliness
- Dullness and uneven texture

My skin is normal, but tends to be oily. It’s dehydrated because of bad treating. It isn’t sensitive or allergy-prone.
My impressions:
This creamy product is aimed at cleansing our skin from impurities and I assure you that it does this job brilliantly.
1.Texture. The name of the product speaks for itself - “Gentle Foaming Cleanser”. The only thing I want to say here is that the product doesn’t foam well if I rub it between my palms, so I use my bubble foaming net.
2. Fragrance. It’s light and unobtrusive. It feels as though there are some sour notes in it.
3. The product goes a very long way. A pea-sized amount is more than enough for my face. As I keep using some other facial cleansers, this product will last for more than a year for me.
4. It removes impurities very well. The cleanser is able to remove everything, even my BB cream, which is long-lasting and full coverage. But still I think it’s better to remove make-up with make-up removers or micellar water.
5. It almost doesn’t dry out my skin. I said “almost” because if I don’t apply my moisturizing cream after the face wash within 10 minutes, it’ll give me a tad of tightening feelings.
A friend of mine has dry skin and this product didn’t suit her.
Usually I use this cleanser with my Clarisonic gadget in the evening after removing my make-up with micellar water. It’s the best option for me.
Clarisonic turns a small amount of product into a small cloud of rich foam providing me with a proper cleansing. My skin looks and feels soft, evened out, gentle and glowing with health.
I’m 100% happy with Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed and I give it 5 stars.
Be always beautiful and happy!
