Overview
Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly is a dual-purpose daily cleanser that addresses two of the most important daily skincare requirements in a single, efficient step — thorough removal of make-up, SPF, and daily impurities, alongside the gentle surface exfoliation that keeps the skin clear, smooth, and receptive to treatment products. The jelly format is distinctive within the cleanser category: neither a foam, a cream, nor a gel in the conventional sense, it has a soft, cushion-like texture that melts on contact with the skin and transforms to a light lather with water, making the cleansing experience itself more pleasant and tactile than most.
Clinique's formulation philosophy has always been grounded in the dermatologist-developed, allergy-tested, fragrance-free approach that makes its products appropriate for virtually every skin type including sensitive, reactive, and allergy-prone skin. The 2-in-1 positioning is not a marketing convenience — the exfoliating step integrated into this cleanser genuinely reduces the need for a separate weekly exfoliant for those using it consistently, keeping the daily routine simpler without compromising on the results that regular surface renewal delivers. Skin that is exfoliated consistently is clearer, more even-toned, and more receptive to serum and moisturiser penetration than skin that is only cleansed.
Available at Pearl Chemist Group as part of the Clinique skincare range and our complete luxury cleanser collection.
What It Does
- Cleanses the skin thoroughly in a single step, removing make-up, SPF, excess oil, and daily impurities through a mild surfactant system that leaves the skin clean without stripping its natural moisture barrier
- Gently exfoliates the skin surface simultaneously with the cleansing step, removing dead surface skin cells to reveal a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion with consistent daily use
- The jelly texture provides a pleasant, cushion-like cleansing experience that transforms to a light lather with water and rinses cleanly without residue
- Regular use reduces the need for a separate weekly exfoliant, keeping the daily routine streamlined without compromising on the results that consistent surface renewal delivers
- Formulated without fragrance — appropriate for virtually all skin types including sensitive and allergy-prone skin
- Leaves skin noticeably softer, clearer, and more comfortable after each use
How to Apply Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly
- Timing: Use morning and evening as part of your regular cleansing routine, or once daily if combining with a more intensive cleanser in a double-cleanse routine.
- Wet the face: Splash the face and neck with lukewarm water before applying.
- Dispense: Take a small amount of the jelly onto clean, damp fingertips — a pea-to-marble-sized portion is typically sufficient for the full face and neck.
- Massage gently: Work the jelly across the face and neck in gentle circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds. The jelly will soften and lather lightly as it works. Do not scrub — the exfoliating action is gentle and does not require pressure to be effective.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse completely with lukewarm water, ensuring no product remains on the skin. Pat dry with a clean, soft towel.
- Follow with your routine: Apply toner, serum, and moisturiser immediately after patting dry. The exfoliated, clean skin surface that follows a well-performed cleanse is in its optimal state for serum and moisturiser absorption.
Those with very sensitive or reactive skin may prefer to begin with once-daily use and monitor the skin's response before using twice daily, as even gentle exfoliation can cause temporary sensitivity in particularly reactive skin types.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
