The Best!
I have been using Clinique products since the early 1970's. I had skin allergy issues that Clinique cleared up. I use the soap for my entire body which has allowed me to be dermatitis-free for years! Now that I am in my 50's, I have great skin and look much younger than I am. Even living in Alaska's harsh climate.

So Disappointed
The acne soap you discontinued is a much better product than this one. So disappointed you don't carry the original choice. It cleared my skin right up. Now what??

Great for men too
I am a 56 yr old guy, have sensitive skin and mild adult acne as well. There are allot of products & even more claims about this and that will do this or this will work for sensitive skin. Clinique facial soap DELIVERS! I have been using it for over 30 yrs now and despite it is more expensive as a allot of other soaps on the market, it just simply does the job. I use it in the shower and bath both. I use it as a body soap as well. It lasts along time too. My skin is sommth, soft, not at all oily and I do not smell like some flower or a medicine chest. I tell all my friends about it. Some of them think I am nuts for using something that is so out of the norm, UNTIL they try it. Converts forever they are. Please don't ever stop making it.

I have always had mild acne. I have tried all different types of cleansers, acne washes, facial soaps... you name it, I have tried it. A family member recommended me to Clinique Facial Soap. I started using it in August, twice a day. I use it even now in the winter and it doesn't make my face dry. I LOVE IT. And the good news is, my acne is gone and my skin is smoother than ever.

The best cleansing system there is -- still.
Nothing compares to the effective cleansing Clinique soaps give. It may seem simple to use an old-fashioned bar, but dead skin is loosened, just as they say, with the creamy formula. Following up with Clarifying Lotion 3 or 4 sweeps the loosened flakes away thoroughly for me. The liquid soap just doesn't compare in my experience. I love the clean way it smells and the smoothness it gives. I've been using the system for 17 years and although I'm now 60, I still get compliments on my skin's smoothness, brightness, and clarity.

Can't Live Without It
This is the one and only facial soap I use. I love the fresh, soft scent and the lather. It does not dry out my skin and leaves it soft and clean, ready for moisturizer. I have tried a few other brands, but they never live up to this one and most seem to have a strong overbearing scent. The bar soap is more economical than pump bottles and I find it lathers the best, something I really like.

Clinique facial soap
I love the mild Clinique soap. My skin had been getting dry and this soap has cleared that up. It keeps my skin smooth without drying it out. I like the large size since it lasts a long time. It is a great buy at a reasonable price.
