Clean & Clear Fruit Essentials Facial Cleanser Brightening Lemon Review 2014

Hello wonderful people of the world! Here I am again blogging, and yes the queen is back ;) I've been busy with doing theses, some office works, working out my prima donna skills, and, what else? Being beautiful. LOLS

I've noticed my skin is not that supple since I've been staying up all night and sleeping for only a couple of hours, plus wearing makeup from morning till evening. Uh oh! I know, I know, that's the baddest thing I can do with my skin. But I can't help it, the situation calls for it. :( 

So the search is on for that mild, but heavy duty cleanser that won't clog my pores.

I bought this Clean & Clear Fruit Essentials Facial Cleanser Brightening Lemon at Robinson's Department Store after an intense session at the gym (since the gym is near at Rob's). 

It costs P 136.50  for 100 mL and is available at all leading drugstore and department store. 

"Brighten up your skin with this deliciously scented cleanse with BURSTING BEADS, which burst with energy and vitamin C-rich lemon extract. Thoroughly removes oil and dirt, with antibacterial ingredients to help prevent common skin problem without over drying. Leaves skin feeling clean, clear and radiant."

It looks weird, like a gel with soft bursting beads. The texture is gel-like but lighter. It says that it is deliciously scented but it smells like a lemon dishwashing liquid hahaha. Sometimes I get confuse when I wash my face at the wash basin hahaha I always ask myself :

"Did I use Clean & Clear or JOY?" HAHAHA then I will look at my hands and realize it is Clean & Clear because it has beads. LOL as in.

Anyway, it is mild enough for daily use, but I am not satisfied with its cleansing abilities. I did not feel any sting at all, and that's a good sign because it has brightening agents. It says that it is oil free and non-comedogenic but I had pimples on my cheeks while using it for one week, and blocked up blackheads on my nose and chin.

However, it does whiten my skin. ;)

Olga's Verdict

Effectivity - 6/10: It gently cleanses my skin without overdrying, and without the sting that I hate the most. However, I really don't like the smell and I had pimples and blackheads while using it.

Pocket Friendly - 10/10:  100 mL for only P 136. 50, yes I consider it affordable. I think it will last me more than a month of using it.

Accesibility - 10/10: It is available in all leading drugstore

Would you recommend this to your readers?

So-so. I think this suits teenagers better.

Would you use it again?

I think I will only use it if I want to take a break from harsh cleansers, but I have to follow-up cleanser toner.

What are your recommendations for Clean & Clear Fruit Essentials Facial Cleanser Brightening Lemon?

I recommend to toughen the cleansing ability of the cleanser, and they should also  They should also change the scent into something delicious, not that dishwashing liquid smell lols. 

No candy-coated reviews here. ;)
