WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap.

TELL ME MORE
Everyone loves Clinique. Everyone raves about it. For many, it’s the Holy Grail of skincare. I simply had to jump on the bandwagon and find out what the fuss was all about. So finally, I bought the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap. Now it’s actually a face wash, but they call it soap. While it may seem like this face wash (soap?) is facing an identity crisis, in just one wash, it’ll prove you wrong. I was the newest member to its ever-growing fan club. What I really liked about Clinique was the whole ‘what you see is what you get’ advantage. This face wash is a clear, transparent liquid that comes in a see-through easy-squeezy bottle. Just a small dollop and it lathered up generous foam, yet it didn’t dry my skin out. I also had a nasty pimple on my face that miraculously disappeared ever since I started using this. My only glitch is that it didn’t rinse off as easily. But apart from that, this one’s a clean sweep.

DOES IT SMELL GOOD?
Well, it’s almost fragrance-free, probably with a tad bit of medicinal smell if you take a really intense whiff. Personally, I would have preferred it with a hint of fragrance.

SHOULD I BUY IT?
I don’t see why not. It’s a gentle, no-nonsense face wash that cleans real good.

GIRLY TIP
Don’t forget to use a moisturizer. Sure, this will leave your skin supple and hydrated, but a pat of moisturizer will lock in the goodness.
