Paula Begoun gives her highest rating to extra-mild version of Clinique Liquid Facial Soap, but gives her lowest rating to the oily version. She does not recommend this formulation because it contains menthol, which she says is overly drying. She states that it's "a smart choice for someone with sensitive or easily irritated skin (and infinitely better for skin than any of Clinique's bar soaps)."

In response to a user questioning whether spending more money on Clinique Liquid Facial Soap is worth it to clean her acne-prone skin, one of the cosmetic scientists -- who writes for this site under the alias Right Brain -- answers. By looking at the ingredients, Right Brain says that the ingredients in the Extra Mild version are not known to clean very well. The Mild version will clean slightly better and the Oily version has no acne medication. The writer's bottom line is that it would be an okay cleanser if the detergent ingredients don't bother you.
