Cleansers + Face Wash

Cleansing skin is the first step in your daily skincare routine. A cleanser washes away dirt and debris, sweat, and excess oil, leaving skin refreshed and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine: exfoliation and moisturizer. Treatment products work best on skin that’s fresh and clean.

There are many different types of cleansers to choose from depending on your unique skin type and goal. Clinique’s bestselling All About Clean™ Liquid Facial Soap has three uniquely tailored formulas: Extra-Mild, Mild, and Oily.All About Clean™ Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser is a great option for combination to oily skin types.

Clinique’s Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser is a creamy cleanser that melts away makeup and impurities with a soothing touch. Another way to cleanse is with a jelly formula.All About Clean™ 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly is designed to be more powerful than a cleanser alone yet is gentle enough for everyday use.

Would you take a shower with your clothes on? Of course not. You shouldn’t wash your face with your makeup on, either. If makeup isn’t properly removed before washing your face, it creates a barrier between your skin and cleanser, preventing you from removing that end-of-day buildup.

Anyone who has ever slept with makeup on knows the benefits of eye makeup remover. Leaving makeup on can contribute to clogged pores and dry skin, and could even lead to eye irritation. That’s why using makeup remover and cleansing skin before bed is a must.

At night, use a makeup remover to dissolve makeup. Then, wash with a facial cleanser to remove sweat, pollution, dirt, and excess oil.
