This rinse-off foaming cleanser water-activates into a cushiony mousse to hydrate, mattify, soften and cleanse while respecting the skin's moisture balance. The formula preserves skin's barrier function and hydrolipidic film. Powered by purifying meadowsweet extract plus gentian and lemon balm extracts (sourced from Clarins' innovative, open-air laboratory in the French Alps, Le Domaine Clarins), the product softens and soothes while micro-pearls made of a derivative of salicylic acid help exfoliate and control excess oil.

Very disappointed

I am so disappointed that Clarins have changed the formula of this product, which I have really liked for a few years now. This new one feels like a shaving foam, it smells a bit unpleasant and due the the overly foaming action, has stung just inside my nostrils. It sadly feels like a very inferior product now.

Fantastic product

This is one of the best foaming cleansers I have used. It is very thick in texture when first squeezed out of the tube, but once rubbed into the gands and applied to my face it softens to a creamy foam. It smells really fresh and my skin feels lovely and clean afterwards.

Filmy coating residue

They changed the ingredients. The old one has salicylic acid and they discontinued it. This new one does not foam as much as the old one, has a cream like substance and leaves a filmy coating on the face/ skin which feels like rubber when rubbed. Looks like I’ll have to find another cleanser, I was really happy with the old product.

Light yet Effective Foaming Cleanser 9/10

The best facial cleanser I’ve found in a while! You only need to use a small amount and it foams up quite nicely and really spreads. I find it has a very light pleasant scent and leaves my face feeling physically refreshed. I do find the small beads to be an ineffective exfoliant and I would love to see Clarins make a new exfoliating product!
