All About Clean™ Liquid Facial Soap

Clinique All About Clean™ Liquid Facial Soap is step one of the brand's three-step routine — a liquid soap that works up a soft lather and rinses away in seconds. It takes off the dirt and debris of the day without the squeaky, stripped feeling that gives face soap a bad name.

What it actually does

• Lathers softly instead of stripping. Clinique's whole claim here is a non-drying foam — it lifts loose surface flakes and grime while leaving the skin's own moisture balance intact.
• Rinses off quickly. The formula is built to clear with water fast, so skin is left comfortable and refreshed rather than taut.
• Soothes with sucrose. The brand includes it to calm skin during the wash.
• Conditions with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which Clinique credits for the softer feel the cleanse leaves behind.
• Preps for the exfoliating step. It's designed to be followed by Clarifying Lotion, so the toner's exfoliation lands on genuinely clean skin.
• Suits four skin types. Normal, dry, combination and oily are all on the label, with dryness and oiliness as the concerns addressed.
• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, with under one percent synthetic fragrance and a long list of exclusions: triclosan and triclocarban, hydroquinone, coal tar, oxybenzone, retinyl palmitate, mineral oil, phthalates, formaldehydes and the agents that release them, parabens, plus the sulfates SLS and SLES.

How to use

1. Twice daily, morning and evening.
2. Work it into a lather between your palms using lukewarm water — not hot.
3. Massage across a makeup-free face and neck. Take your eye makeup off first.
4. Rinse well and pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Follow with steps two and three — Clarifying Lotion, then Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, Gel or Hydrating Jelly. Each is sold separately.

Questions

Can I use it to remove makeup?

Clinique's direction is to massage it over skin that's already makeup-free, so take your base and eye makeup off first, then cleanse.

Which packaging will I receive?

Clinique is selling through its original bottles before the new ones circulate, so you may get either version — the formula inside is identical. In the newer one, plant-derived plastic makes up 96 percent of the bottle — sourced from a byproduct of sugarcane processing that would otherwise be thrown out — while the cap holds 25 percent recycled material recovered after consumer use.

Is the bottle recyclable?

Clinique says it's widely recyclable — rinse it out, put the cap back on, and drop it in a recycling bin.

How long will delivery take?

3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. What we have on hand goes out quickly; items ordered in for you take longer. Weekends and official holidays don't count as working days.

How do I pay?

By credit card, debit card, Instapay or a mobile wallet. We do not offer cash on delivery.

What's your return policy?

We accept defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery. Once we've checked it, the refund goes back to your original payment method within 15–30 days.
