FAQs

What makes a jelly texture different from a gel or foam cleanser?
+

A jelly cleanser has a denser, more cushion-like consistency than a standard gel and a much richer feel than a foam. It sits between a cream and a gel on the texture spectrum — soft and emollient at room temperature, it softens immediately on contact with the warmth of the skin and transforms to a light lather with water. This texture delivers a more comfortable and pleasurable cleansing experience than foam for many skin types, with less of the tight, stripped feeling that lightweight gel cleansers can cause on drier skin.

Can I use this instead of a separate weekly exfoliant?
+

Yes — for most people, consistent daily use of this 2-in-1 cleanser provides sufficient gentle exfoliation to maintain clear, smooth, and radiant skin without a separate weekly exfoliant. The daily low-level exfoliation is cumulatively more effective for sustained skin clarity than weekly intensive exfoliation. Those who use stronger chemical exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, retinol) as part of their routine should confirm from the product packaging that the exfoliating agents in this cleanser are compatible with their existing routine to avoid over-exfoliation.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?
+

Yes — Clinique's fragrance-free, allergy-tested formulation philosophy means this product is developed to be appropriate for sensitive skin. The exfoliating step is gentle enough for daily use in sensitive skin with proper technique — use light circular motions without pressure and rinse thoroughly. Those with very reactive or compromised skin should start with once-daily use and monitor the skin's response before using twice daily. If significant redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult our pharmacy team.

Should I be using this in the morning or evening?
+

Both — twice-daily cleansing and consistent daily exfoliation is the approach that produces the best skin clarity results. Morning use removes overnight skincare residue and any surface oils accumulated during sleep, preparing the skin for daytime serums and SPF. Evening use removes the day's make-up, SPF, pollution, and sebum before applying treatment products. If once-daily use is preferred, evening is the more impactful cleanse of the two — the skin is more contaminated after a full day and more receptive to treatment products applied at night.

Does exfoliation make the skin more sensitive to the sun?
+

Regular exfoliation — including the gentle daily exfoliation from this cleanser — removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and can mildly increase UV sensitivity. This is not a reason to avoid exfoliation, but it is a reason to be consistent with broad-spectrum SPF every morning. Daily SPF is the most important complement to any exfoliating cleanser and should always be applied as the final step of the morning routine after moisturiser.

How long before I see results from regular use?
+

A noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and clarity is typically perceptible within one to two weeks of consistent twice-daily use as the cumulative effect of daily surface renewal begins to reveal the fresher, clearer skin beneath. Improvement in radiance and evenness continues to develop progressively over four to eight weeks of sustained use. Those with persistent congestion or significant dullness may need to allow a full four-week assessment period before evaluating the full impact of this cleanser on their skin.

Can I use this if I am also using a retinol or AHA treatment?
+

It depends on the specific exfoliating agents in this cleanser — confirm from current packaging before combining with other exfoliating actives. Using multiple exfoliating products simultaneously increases the risk of over-exfoliation, which can cause irritation, redness, and barrier compromise. As a general principle, if you are using a prescription retinoid or a strong AHA serum, discuss with our pharmacy team before adding a daily exfoliating cleanser to your routine. For over-the-counter retinol used at standard concentrations, using this cleanser in the morning and retinol in the evening is a common and manageable combined approach.
