Clean & Clear is a brand which needs no introduction. Their range of face washes are amongst the most commonly used skincare products across the nation. I have seen many of my immediate family members use their products on a daily basis, but somehow never got around to using the same on my skin. So when I was contacted by one of their reps for collaborating for a review, I said why not!

The Clean & Clear foaming face wash is manufactured specially with those who have an oily skin type - Its formula is oil free, which prevents clogging of pores.
The face wash formulation is clear in color, has a pleasant scent and is pretty thin in consistency. A very small amount is required for usage, and addition of water to it provides it with abundant lather. It cleanses the facial skin well, getting rid of oiliness, dirt and makeup in the process. It easily gets washed off, leaving no creamy/sticky residue behind. It gives a feeling of freshness to the skin, giving it a radiant glow after use. Occasionally, it leaves the skin around the corners of my mouth and cheeks feeling stretched, dry and flaky, mandating the use of a moisturizer in conjunction with the face wash. That being said, it does a wonderful job of keeping my skin oil free for hours on end and thus reduces the incidence of occurrence of acne.
