Deep Clean. Oil-Free. Refreshingly Balanced. Made for Oily Skin.

Clinique All About Clean Face Cleansing Gel is the dermatologist-developed, gel-formula facial cleanser designed specifically for oily and combination skin types — delivering a deep, thorough cleanse that effectively removes excess sebum, surface impurities, environmental pollutants, and daily buildup without stripping the skin’s essential moisture or triggering the compensatory oil overproduction that harsh, over-drying cleansers routinely cause. Part of Clinique’s All About Clean skincare system — the brand’s comprehensive approach to effective, balanced, skin-type-appropriate cleansing — this gel cleanser uses a carefully balanced surfactant system to cut through the excess oil and congestion that oily skin produces throughout the day while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance and leaving it feeling genuinely clean, refreshed, and comfortable rather than tight, dry, or stripped. The 400ml format provides exceptional value for daily use, ensuring you never run short of your essential daily cleansing step. Allergy-tested. 100% fragrance-free. Dermatologist-developed.

Key Benefits

• Deeply and thoroughly cleanses oily and combination skin — removing excess sebum, impurities, pollution, and daily grime without leaving any residue or film
• Controls excess oil without over-drying — the balanced formula removes the surplus sebum that causes shine and congestion without stripping the skin’s essential moisture barrier
• Leaves skin feeling genuinely clean, refreshed, and comfortable — not tight, dry, or sensitized after cleansing
• Prepares skin optimally for the next steps of the skincare routine — exfoliants, serums, and moisturizers absorb more effectively after a thorough, balanced cleanse
• Gentle enough for daily morning and evening use on oily and combination skin types
• 100% fragrance-free and allergy-tested — suitable for sensitive oily skin that reacts to fragrance and harsh cleansing agents

Suggested Use

Use morning and evening as the first step of your skincare routine. Wet face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of cleanser to fingertips and work into a lather, then massage evenly over the face using gentle, circular motions for 30–60 seconds — paying attention to the T-zone, nose, and chin where oily skin tends to produce the most sebum and congestion. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat skin dry with a clean towel. Follow with your toner or exfoliant (such as Clinique’s Clarifying Lotion), serum, and moisturizer. For oily skin, consistent twice-daily cleansing with the right gel formula is the single most impactful step for controlling shine, minimizing breakouts, and maintaining a clear, balanced complexion.

Key Features

• Gel Formula Optimized for Oily Skin: Gel cleansers are the gold-standard format for oily and combination skin types for good reason — their water-based, lightweight texture provides effective surfactant cleansing without the occlusive, residue-leaving properties of cream or balm cleansers that can feel heavy and pore-clogging on oily skin. Clinique’s All About Clean Cleansing Gel uses a thoughtfully balanced surfactant system that creates a satisfying lather, cuts effectively through excess sebum and impurities, and rinses away completely clean — leaving no residue, no film, and no heaviness on the skin’s surface
• Balanced Cleansing Without the Rebound Effect: One of the most common mistakes in oily skin care is using overly harsh, stripping cleansers in an attempt to eliminate shine — which paradoxically triggers the skin’s sebaceous glands to produce even more oil in response to the perceived moisture deficit, creating a cycle of over-cleansing and over-production that makes oiliness progressively worse. Clinique All About Clean Cleansing Gel is specifically calibrated to remove the excess oil that causes shine and congestion without breaching the skin’s moisture barrier — breaking the rebound cycle and helping oily skin find its natural balance with consistent daily use
• Preparation for Maximum Skincare Efficacy: A thorough, effective cleanse is not just about removing makeup and grime — it is the essential foundation that determines how effectively every subsequent skincare product performs. Exfoliants work more evenly on a properly cleansed surface, serums penetrate more deeply into clean pores, and moisturizers distribute more evenly and absorb more completely when applied after a clean slate. For oily skin in particular, where excess sebum and surface buildup can act as a barrier to active ingredient penetration, starting with the right cleanser is the highest-leverage investment in the overall efficacy of the skincare routine
• Clinique’s Allergy-Tested, Fragrance-Free Standard: Every Clinique product — including All About Clean Cleansing Gel — adheres to the brand’s founding dermatological standard of allergy testing and fragrance-free formulation, established in 1968 in collaboration with dermatologists. This makes it one of the safest, most universally tolerated facial cleansers available in prestige skincare — delivering effective deep cleansing for oily skin without the fragrance, colorants, or potential irritants that compromise the tolerability of many cleansers marketed to oily and acne-prone skin types
