CLINIQUE Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild Cleanser for Very Dry to Dry Skin — 6.7 fl oz, Sucrose-Based Gentle Lather

This liquid facial soap is Step 1 of Clinique’s dermatologist-developed 3-Step system and offers a soft, quick-rinsing lather designed to clean thoroughly without leaving skin tight or flaky. The Extra Mild formula is tailored to very dry and dry skin types, providing comfortable cleansing that prepares skin for the exfoliation and moisturizing steps that follow. Free of salicylic acid, it relies on mild surfactants and sucrose to lift away impurities while protecting skin’s barrier.

How will this cleanser feel on very dry or dry skin?

The Extra Mild version produces a soft, non-drying lather that cleans without stripping natural oils. Users typically notice skin feels clean and refreshed rather than taut or uncomfortable after rinsing.

• Soft, cushioning foam that rinses away quickly
• Formulated to protect the skin’s moisture balance
• Designed to avoid the tightness associated with harsher cleansers

What makes this different from other Clinique Liquid Facial Soap formulas?

Clinique offers three skin-typed variants (Extra Mild, Mild, and Oily) so you can match the cleanser to your skin’s needs. The Extra Mild concentrate is milder in surfactant strength and enriched with sucrose to be more suitable for very dry to dry complexions.

• Extra Mild: softer, hydrating-leaning formula for dry skin
• Mild: balanced for normal to combination skin
• Oily Skin: stronger clarifying action for excess oil

How should I use this cleanser in my skincare routine?

Use twice daily—morning and night—as the first step in Clinique’s 3-Step routine: Cleanse, Exfoliate, Moisturize. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage to a light lather, then rinse completely and follow with your exfoliant and moisturizer.

• Wet face, dispense a small pump or drop into hands
• Massage gently over face; avoid harsh scrubbing
• Rinse thoroughly and continue with Step 2 and Step 3

What are the key benefits and ingredient highlights?

The formula uses sucrose and gentle surfactants to cleanse without aggressive drying. It removes dirt, makeup, and pollutants while helping skin stay comfortable, and it prepares the surface for exfoliation and hydration steps that follow.

• Sucrose-based cleansing to help preserve moisture
• Quick-rinse formula—no lingering residue
• Does not contain salicylic acid

Who is this for? Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild is designed for people with very dry to dry skin who want a dependable, dermatologist-developed cleansing step that removes impurities without disrupting skin’s moisture.
