Excerpt: In our search for the perfect cleansing balance for dry-combination skin, Clinique’s All About Clean Liquid Gentle Facial Cleanser has emerged as a standout contender. Unlike harsh soaps that strip moisture, ours finds a gentle sweet spot, effectively dissolving impurities without disrupting our skin’s natural barrier. We appreciate its lightweight texture, which feels silky on the skin, rinsing away grime without leaving behind a dull residue. The "Mild" formulation, enriched with hydrating ingredients, is suiting our skin types well, avoiding irritation while providing a fresh, clean feel. While it might not on its own replace an intense moisturizer for dry patches, it serves as an excellent canvas for our follow-up care, keeping our blend of gentle cleansing and targeted hydration in harmony.
