Typically, Clean & Clear is a little harsh for my skin since its very dry and sensitive. When I saw this at the drugstore, this immediately attracted me with its fresh, bright light seafoam green color and the word "hydrating."
Clean & Clear states, "Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a foaming cleanser uniquely formulated with Bursting Beads technology and a blend of cucumber and green mango extracts to clean deep while refreshing skin with an added touch of moisture. The foaming formula contains an invigorating fragrance to help you wake up and is made with water, not oil, so it won't clog your pores."
This feels like a thin, very watery, gel-like consistency. It quickly and easily lathers a lot, making it really easy to get around your entire face without adding water or taking too much time. I find that this takes me longer than average to rinse off completely. The feeling of this going off and getting off is very cooling and relaxing. It has quite a strong scent of cucumber and a light fruit scent. This cleaned out the sebum out of my pores, and left my skin looking softer and more refined.
As for moisturizing properties, this did leave my skin significantly more hydrated than the other cleansers I have sitting on my bathroom sink. The moisture is on a light level, so I can't use this to replace my actual moisturizer (I have pretty dry skin), but that is to be expected because keep in mind, this is a cleanser. It left my skin super comfortable, and did not dry out my skin in the least. I don't think this could directly treat acne besides getting rid of the gunk in your pores, because it doesn't contain direct acne-fighting agents. This does not contain salicylic acid, which is a common acne-fighting ingredient. Since salicylic acid is pretty potent/strong, this typically sucks the moisture out of your skin.
This is a great cleanser to get your day started. This is widely available at any drugstore I can think of, so I suggest trying it out, especially if you have drier skin. Since this is a light hydration product, I think people with combination or oily skin can use this as well.
