Rinse-off, or just rinsed?

Advantages: Allergy tested, fragrance free.
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive, 13 pounds for 150ml

...I bought this product because i suffer from slightly dry skin and believed that a good quality (in other words, more expensive) cleanser would be kinder to my skin while cleansing. This product has a wonderful thick texture which is to be lathered up on wet palms. The product does exactly as described, it foams up meaning that a little goes a long way. You then massage onto a wet face working into all the areas but avoid the eyes as it really does sting! Having rubbed into the face and neck area you are then told to rinse thoroughly. This is definitely wise as the product has a tendancy to leave the skin feeling tight, pretty much the same feeling as using soap. I would recommend using a good moisturiser after having cleansed as this product because although it doesn't dry out the skin as such, it is left feeling smooth...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser

Expensive but worth it

Advantages: Soothing, deep clean, clears skin
Disadvantages: Overpriced

...I got a sample size tube of this in a free goodie bag from Clinique which you get when you buy any 2 items. I?ve only just started using a new face wash but have put it on hold for the last week to try this one out. I have looked on the Clinique official site and found out that it costs £13.70 for the 150ml full size bottle. To me this is ridiculously expensive for a face wash, and I?d probably only want to buy it if I could get it cheaper on ebay or Amazon! Packaging? The sample size is exactly like the full size bottle just smaller. It is a white bottle with a slight pink tinge to it in the light. It has the classic min green Clinique colour cap, which clicks open and closed. It has a big C and Clinique below it in solid black lettering and ?rinse off foaming cleanser? written in lower class black font below this...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser

ROC rinse off

Advantages: Well known brand name
Disadvantages: Expensive and not very effective

...Packaging: Comes in a fair sized 125 ml tube but has a screw cap top which is quite difficult to use with wet hands and eyes. The tube structure also means quite a lot of product gets left inside and remains un-used at the end of the product life. Price: Bought as a special purchase at a cost £7.99 from Boots chemists. MRP is around £11. Is it effective? The product is a rich, white and creamy texture, like lard almost. It feels un-plesantly greasy when applied to the skin. Indeed the product is so rich and greasy that it is difficlut to remove completely from the face with just 'rinsing' (as suggested in the instructions). Afterwards you just don't feel as though you have cleaned your face at all - the product seems to leave a coating or thin film on the surface of your face. On the plus side, the richness of the cleanser...

Review of RoC Rinse-Off Facial Cleanser

Squeaky Cliniquey

Advantages: Leaves you squeaky clean
Disadvantages: Obsolete if you use the rest of the range

...The rinse off foaming cleanser does exactly what it says on the tube. You only need a very small amount to cleanse your face and are advised to avoid the eye area so you don't dry out the delicate skin or get some in your eyes and swear like a heathen on heat!! The product has a gentle smell and when applying tingles slightly in a pleasant way. You can practically feel your face getting cleaner using this product and it literally gets you to the point of being squeaky clean without leaving your skin dried out. It is advised that this product be used in conjunction with the three step Clinique plan (including soap, cleanser and moisturiser) but really unless you are some one that wears a lot of make up (which I don't) or have a particularly dirty job I don't really see the value of this product. For men using the Clinique range...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser

To polish your face.

Advantages: Moisturises and exfoliates
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...skin as much as some exfoliating scrubs do, and seems to moisturise it instead. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, but think this would be ok if you did have. I rub it over my face, jaw line and neck, for a good few minutes, and then rinse off with clean water. Think the massaging of the face also stimulates the circulation, making your skin healthier. Apparently it can be used on the lips as well, but I've not been brave enough to do this yet! After I've used it, my skin looks fresh, and since using it, I've found I don't suffer from black heads as much as I used to, so the tiny tiny tiny micro-beads must be cleaning some dirt away! The fact that I used up all the free gift, and went on to purchase it, shows how good I thought it was! It is £15 for 100ml, which seems expensive, but remember if you only use it once a week...

Review of Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula

Solvent abuse

Advantages: Effectively removes even the most stubborn eye-makeup
Disadvantages: Effectively removes your eyelids too

...Since Clinique are one of my favourite brands (due to the fact that they cater well to my skin and are animal friendly) their rinse-off eye makeup solvent seemed too good to be true. The blurb claims that it is a ?fast, water-rinsable eye makeup dissolver? which ?cleans up eyes easily without disturbing other makeup?. The question is, can any product really clean up eye makeup without making you look like a panda, and without interfering with any other makeup you might be wearing? The answer is: possibly. This clear liquid is encased in a very attractive transparent peacock-green/blue bottle and is fragrance free. I am inclined to say that there is a slight scent to it and not an altogether pleasant one at that. Quite how to describe it I?m not sure, but anyway this is not really a significant problem with the product. The fault...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Make-up Solvent

Instantly Clean

Advantages: Cleans well, neither drying nor greasy
Disadvantages: Probably pricier than supermarket brands

...Not long ago, I purchased an Estee Lauder product and received a free gift in a nifty little tote bag. I'm always pleased when these offers are on promotion because I like to try new products without having to purchase them first. Also, lots of times, there are samples of fragrances or body lotions that I like included in the gift bags. Often, the gift bags can be used for make-up cases, manicure instruments, etc. In this last gift bag, a tube of Estee Lauder's new Instant Action Rinse-Off Cleanser was included. I didn't use it until I took a weekend trip. It was a small tube (1.5 ounces) and was easy to pack. I read the back of tube for directions and was both surprised and happy to see that I didn't have to use a cold cream or make-up remover before washing with it. It does all of that and leaves your face clean as can be...

Review of Estee Lauder Instant Action Rinse-Off Cleanser

The make up remover of my dreams!!!

Advantages: no mess, no grease, quick
Disadvantages: expensive

...I bought this after reading some positive reviews. I have very sensitive skin around my eyes which tends to get irritated after the vigirous rubbing that is usually required to get the make up off my eyes. After reading some positive reviews I decided to give it a go, and splashed out £11.50 for 125 ml of the stuff. I got this at Debenhams who were doing one of clinique's bonus time offers where you buy two products and get a box of 8 free samples of clinique products - that softened the blow slightly. Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent is fragrence free and colourless. All you do is dab a small amount on and then rinse of with cold water, it works like magic. I find it particularly satisfying that you can see the water go dark as your rinsing it off. It doesn't smear the make-up all over your face and there's absolutley...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Make-up Solvent

Easy Eye make up removal

Advantages: Doesn't sting or burn you eyes or skin, can be used for long lasting lipsticks
Disadvantages: expensive, smudges the better waterproof mascaras before removing them

...Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent I used this last year when I was on holiday. It made removing waterproof mascara really easy. It didn?t make eye eyes water or sting when taking off mascara. It did smudge my mascara at first but after holding the cotton ball against my lashes for a few seconds, all of the mascara came off quickly. It removes eye shadow and eyeliner easily just by gently moving the cotton wool over my eyelids. It?s also really good for removing long lasting lipstick (like Max Factor LipFinity), as long as you don?t lick your lips before washing the remover off! It doesn?t taste too good. The small bottle makes it easy to dispense onto cotton wool. Just by putting the cotton wool over the bottle and tipping it back. The liquid is runny like water and is clear. It?s gentle and doesn?t sting or burn you skin when...

Review of Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Make-up Solvent

Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent

Advantages: cleans all the eyeliner and mascare in about 3 wipes
Disadvantages: expensive - but worth it

...No need to look like a Panda! I use a liquid eyeliner and mascara everyday, so I need a really good eye make-up remover. Well, I certainly don’t want to wake up looking like a bamboo eating teddy bear! I’ve tried all the tricks in the book, from using soap and water all the way through to leaving it all on over-night and building up the layers – euurrrgghh! Most of the actual eye make-up cleaners I’ve used, have either been too greasy and seemed to smear my eye make-up rather than remove it, or, I need to rub my eyes really quite hard. Not something us ‘young’ ladies should do (if we want to keep the crows feet and lines away). This is where ‘Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent’ is different; it’s quick and easy to use. I use a cotton wool pad, tip the bottle quickly...
