Review: Clinelle Deep Cleansing Gel

Next in my series of Clinelle reviews is a gem I found in facial cleansers. I can’t believe I didn’t try it out sooner. I’m talking about Clinelle’s Deep Cleansing Gel.  

When I tried out Clinelle’s Caring Milk Cleanser, I thought it was somewhat lacking as I didn’t feel it cleansed my skin all that well. Of course, a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was not even right for my skin type in the first place (it was meant more for dry skin, whereas mine’s a combination of an oily T-zone and dry cheeks). I’ve heard of the Deep Cleansing Gel for quite some time now, and thought it was a good time to try it out. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

 

Description:

• Enriched with Lavender, Aloe Vera, Marigold Flower Extract and Pro-Vitamin B5.
• Suitable for all skin types, especially oily, acne-prone & combination skin
• Will not clog pores (Non-comedogenic).
• Aloe vera and extracts of Horse Chestnut, Marigold Flower, Ruscus Aculeatus, Licorice, Willow Bark promote oxygen flow and soothe the skin.
• Powerful antioxidant protection of Vitamin B5 for more youthful looking skin.
• Soothes and improves skin elasticity (natural essential oils of Lavender and Ylang Ylang leave skin more supple)
• Softer and smoother skin (Vitamin B5, Centella Asiatica Extract and Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids restore and nourish the skin condition)
• Skin restoration (Wild Thyme Extract aids in restoring acne-prone skin condition)

This cleanser worked really well on my skin. The menthol in the gel cools the skin after wash (a plus point for me), and my skin doesn’t feel tight nor dry (another plus point; I hate cleansers that make my skin feel as though it’s being washed with liquid detergent. Y’know the squeaky clean feeling?).

The gel cleansed my daily makeup off well, when the milk cleanser did not. I like it that it is fragrance-free too. It’s mild for daily use, and I’m definitely repurchasing this once my current tube’s finished.

Clinelle’s Deep Cleansing Gel retails at RM26.80 at Guardian or Watsons (watch out for either drugstore’s 15% discount periods :p)

What I like about it: Non-drying, removes daily makeup well, fragrance-free

What I did not like about it: Nothing really.

   I am currently trying out the blemish clear, Snowhite mask and lip and eye make-up remover. I like the blemish clear as it is effective and can’t quite comment on the other two as have not really used them yet.

   This sounds great! Does it smell good? That’s a big thing for me.

   Blemish clear does not have much smell. It contains salicylic acid and witch hazel. Good for blemishes I guess.

   I tried the Snowhite, it is only okay. Nothing to rave about.

   I hate the eye and lip makeup remover. Gives me small little bumps on my mouth. But then again now my skin is in the middle of purging and totally incomprehensible why I keep getting irritating clogg pores at the sides of cheek and temple. So not sure if it’s the product or just me.

   I’m currently trying to decide which one should I use – Clinelle, Za, Fasio or Kanebo (current product, Clinique, but it’s too expensive and progress to perfect skin seems too slow )
   Based on reviews in this site, seems to me Clinelle and Kanebo is the best choice!
   So, if compare these two, which one is much more effective for combination/acne-prone and small-to-medium pore skin? I wish I can “fix” my face before I reach 30!
