Where I got it: I bought this from my local Life Pharmacy while Clarins was having a gift with purchase promotion when you buy 2 or more products. I got a bottle of body treatment oil along with this. The gift was a beautiful box of products that are almost half to 2/3 of the full sized products (awesome value). RRP$57.00.
What I got: This is a 100ml tube of Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed. This Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed for combination skin is as effective as soap and as mild as cream. Targeted ingredients in the face wash work to respect and preserve the skin’s natural moisture balance. Enriched with comforting Coconut extract it nourishes, softens and boosts the skin’s radiance. The refreshing cleansing mousse eliminates impurities, makeup, and excess oil. The soothing formula leaves combination skin perfectly cleansed, softened, and radiant. The lightweight gentle lather easily rinses off with cool water and helps to neutralise the drying effects of hard water. An everyday gentle skin care cleanser suitable for normal or combination skin.

How I find it: This cleanser was recommended for me by the Clarins lady at the counter as I have combination oily skin. This cleanser feels like a cream cleanser rather than a foaming cleanser. So I wet my hands and face and squeeze a decent amount of this cleanser and work into a bit of a foam with my hands then massage all over my face. There is little foam or lather with this formulation. Rinse off with warm water.

Overall: The cleanser smells nice and the tube packaging is really convenient to use. The formulation cleanses gently and effectively, but I would not depend on this for makeup removal, you will need a makeup remover before using this unless you were only wearing sunscreen and very light face makeup. The low foaming formulation may not be the most preferred cleanser texture for most people with combo/oily skin. After washing off, the skin feels clean and fresh without residue or slippery feeling on my skin.
