Genuinely Clean. Genuinely Gentle. All About Clean for Dry Skin.

Clinique All About Clean Face Cleansing Gel for Dry Skin is the dermatologically tested, skin-kind facial cleansing gel formulated specifically for the unique cleansing requirements of dry skin — a formula that achieves thorough, genuine removal of makeup, sunscreen, impurities, and excess sebum without the stripping, dehydrating, or barrier-disrupting effects that make conventional facial cleansers damaging to skin that is already vulnerable to moisture loss and sensitivity. Dry skin’s cleansing challenge is fundamentally different from that of oily or combination skin — the goal is not to remove excess oil but to remove genuine impurities and makeup residue while preserving the maximum possible amount of the skin’s natural lipid barrier and avoiding the inflammation, tightness, and dehydration that aggressive cleansing invariably triggers in skin that lacks adequate sebum production and barrier resilience. The All About Clean Cleansing Gel for Dry Skin answers this challenge with a gentle, gel-textured formula whose cleansing activity is calibrated precisely to the level required for effective impurity removal without overstripping — leaving dry skin feeling clean, soft, comfortable, and genuinely ready for the moisturisation and treatment steps that follow, rather than tight, dehydrated, or reactive. Clinique’s allergy-tested, fragrance-free formulation standard ensures that the formula’s gentle cleansing performance is delivered without the sensitising ingredients that most frequently trigger the irritation and barrier disruption that afflict dry skin after cleansing. 200ml of Clinique’s dermatologically tested gentle cleansing gel, formulated for dry skin.

Key Benefits

• Thoroughly removes makeup, sunscreen, environmental pollutants, and impurities from dry skin without stripping the skin’s natural lipid barrier or triggering the tightness and dehydration that conventional cleansers cause in dry skin types
• Leaves dry skin feeling genuinely clean, soft, and comfortable after cleansing — the rare cleansing experience where the skin feels better after washing than before
• Gel texture lathers gently without the harsh foaming action that strips dry skin’s moisture — a cleansing texture calibrated for the gentleness that dry skin requires
• Maintains and protects the skin’s natural moisture barrier during cleansing — reducing the barrier disruption that makes dry skin more vulnerable to dehydration, sensitivity, and environmental stress after washing
• Prepares dry skin optimally for the moisturising and treatment steps that follow — a clean, comfortable, non-dehydrated skin surface that responds more effectively to serums and moisturisers
• Dermatologically tested and fragrance-free to Clinique’s allergy-testing standards — a cleanser that is genuinely safe and appropriate for dry, sensitive, and reactive skin types

Suggested Use

Use morning and evening as the first step of your skincare routine. Apply a small amount of the cleansing gel to damp fingertips and work into a gentle lather between the palms before applying to the damp face in gentle circular motions — starting at the forehead and working outward and downward across the cheeks, nose, chin, and neck. Avoid vigorous scrubbing or aggressive rubbing — the All About Clean formula’s cleansing actives do their work through contact rather than mechanical friction, and dry skin is particularly vulnerable to the barrier disruption caused by rough cleansing technique. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water — hot water strips dry skin’s moisture more aggressively than lukewarm and should be avoided in the cleansing step. Pat dry gently with a soft towel rather than rubbing. Apply toner and moisturiser immediately after cleansing while the skin is still slightly damp — the damp skin surface at this moment is maximally receptive to the humectants in toners and moisturisers, and immediate application prevents the transepidermal water loss that occurs when freshly cleansed dry skin is left exposed without moisturisation.

Key Features

• Formulated for Dry Skin — The Right Cleanser for the Right Skin Type: The most common cleansing mistake made by dry skin consumers is using a cleanser formulated for normal, combination, or oily skin — a formula whose cleansing strength and surfactant selection are calibrated for higher sebum levels and greater barrier resilience than dry skin possesses. The result is chronic over-cleansing that strips dry skin’s already-limited lipid barrier, creates a cycle of increasing dryness and sensitivity, and makes every subsequent skincare step less effective by compromising the barrier that determines how well the skin retains moisture and responds to treatment actives. The All About Clean Cleansing Gel for Dry Skin is formulated specifically to break this cycle — a cleanser whose surfactant system is selected and balanced for the gentleness that dry skin requires, delivering effective impurity removal without the barrier stripping that generic cleansers impose on skin that cannot afford it
• Gel Texture for Dry Skin — The Gentlest Effective Cleansing Format: The gel texture of the All About Clean formula occupies the optimal point in the spectrum between cleansing efficacy and skin gentleness for dry skin — more effective than cleansing oils or balms at removing water-soluble impurities and sweat residue, and significantly gentler than foaming cleansers whose aggressive surfactant systems strip the lipid barrier that dry skin depends on for moisture retention. The gel’s light, water-activatable texture also makes it easier to rinse completely from the skin’s surface, reducing the residue that incomplete rinsing of richer cleansing formulas can leave on dry skin and that contributes to post-cleansing congestion and sensitivity
• All About Clean — Clinique’s Cleansing Philosophy: The All About Clean franchise represents Clinique’s comprehensive approach to facial cleansing — a range of cleansing formulas, each calibrated for a specific skin type’s cleansing needs, that collectively embody the principle that effective cleansing is the non-negotiable foundation of every effective skincare routine. A cleanser that is wrong for the skin type — too harsh, too stripping, or too residue-leaving — undermines the performance of every product applied after it. The All About Clean Cleansing Gel for Dry Skin ensures that the foundation of the dry skin routine is as carefully considered and as precisely calibrated as the serums and moisturisers that follow
• Clinique — Dermatologically Tested Beauty for Every Skin Type: Clinique’s founding commitment to allergy-tested, fragrance-free beauty formulated with dermatological rigour applies with particular importance to cleansers — the category where harsh ingredients most directly and most immediately compromise skin health. The All About Clean Cleansing Gel for Dry Skin meets Clinique’s complete safety and tolerability standards, making it one of the very few gentle facial cleansers that can be genuinely recommended for the most dry, sensitive, and reactive skin types without reservation
