Day 1: loved it, felt nice and refreshing on my skin and I thought it cleaned my skin well. I also liked the peachy smell.

Day 2: still loved it and thought it does the job.

Day 3: slightly notice some rash (tiny little red dots) on my face...but I didn't think this product was causing it so used it.

Day 4: the rash was almost all over my face...luckily I have a brown/tanned skin so you couldn't see the redness too much. I knew this product was causing the rash and stopped using it and a few days later my skin got back to normal. Thank God!

I have sensitive, dry skin and this product seemed good at first and then I got rash...so I'll never use this again!

It give you a fresh, clean finish after washing your face. It diminishes my pores.

Due to medication, my breakouts have been out of control. I was fed up, so I decided to go back to Clarins which I used in HS when my skin was perfect. I love Clarins because it's very gentle on my skin and doesn't strip it of necessary oils. I love the peach scent of this water cleanser. I first soak a cotton ball with it and take off my makeup (I wear a pretty thick layer of makeup, so it takes a couple of cotton balls to do the trick). I then follow up with the Alpine Milk cleanser. If necessary I follow up with this peach cleanser as a toner, but I usually don't need to. These two steps effectively remove my makeup without stripping my skin. I then follow up with my DermaDoctor cleanser for acne. My skin has vastly improved. Because my skin is so acne prone, I fine that Using this water cleanser without following up with another cleanser clogs my pores. But, I absolutely love the Clarins milk cleanser, so I don't mind the extra step. This is expensive, and I run through the bottle so quickly, but to me, taking good care of my skin is worth the steep price. I love wearing makeup so much, but if my skin isn't in good condition no amount of makeup will look make me look good.

Causes breakouts if I don't wash my face after using it. I'm happy with it as a make-up remover, but it's not the best.

I have 2 makeup kit facial cleanser staples. Cetaphil and Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleanser. They are both one step, don't require water rinsing and can just be wipes off with a cotton pad or tissue. Love them both. I have been using Cetaphil for 18 yrs as a professional MUA and I'm partial to that only because its been with me from the beginning. But this Clarins is amazing. One is a thicker lotion/gel consistency (Cetaphil) while the other is a thin liquid (Clarins) so dealer's choice on that one. You can't really go wrong with either, just a personal preference for consistency really.

As on all my Clarins reviews: I did work for Clarins at Sears; these opinions are entirely my own.

Packaging: new packaging (Spring 2012) is excellent. Smaller opening, less spilling. Top completely seals as well, so this can be thrown in a bag without worry.

Price: okay. Average for Clarins.

Smell: lovely. Ìt`s the peach essence. Ditto for the pale `peach`colour. I love peaches so I love this. If you hate peaches, this may be a bad choice.

This will take off `light`makeup but I use a make up remover for days that I am wearing mascara. It cleans effectively, leaving a nice smell behind. My skin `feels` clean afterwards but it does need a few moments to dry before I apply a moisturizer.
I like that this cleanses and tones all in one step. I am a minimalist at heart, though sometimes I forget that, and this is a good minimalist product.

I am reviewing the cleanser with Peach water. I can't say I love or hate this cleanser, it is just OK for me. It does an good job, but I rarely wear any makeup. I do however find it slightly irritating, leaving my sensitive skin a little sore with some redness. That being said, it still is the best one step cleanser I have tried and I will continue to use it till I find something better.

I first got it as a bonus at a store and decided to try it. The smell is so fresh and comforting for me. I use it sometimes when I don't have so much time after I remove my makeup and my face feels clean and soft.

I've never actually purchased this product - I have about 5 large sample bottles that came in GWPs from Clarins. I'm one of those women who likes a foaming cleanser...my face just doesn't feel clean unless I've used something at least a bit foamy or that you rinse off with warm water or remove with a warm face cloth. So I never really would even consider this as a cleansing product except for times when I'm out and about (a concert, picnic, etc.) and feel the need to clean my face because it's warm and sticky, etc. So in a sense, I'd use this more as a toner (but there are better toners for this purpose). BUT....what I have found it useful for is for cooling off at the gym. I have a small spray bottle that I fill with some sterilized water and some of this "Water Comfort" and I use it to spray my face when I'm doing a long cardio session (it's been pretty unspeakably hot here and my gym is an older building with not the best a/c system). It works very well for this purpose and the peachy smell is nicer than just plain water. I think I'd prefer the mint version for oily skin - it would be more refreshing - but I'm not really prepared to purchase a whole bottle of the stuff just to make the water smell nicer - I can use other toners for that!

I got a "makeover" at Mecca Cosmetica -- actually, I was just testing blush colors -- and the makeup artist used this on my face to remove some product. I told him I had sensitive skin and he said that Clarins makes products that were "designed" for sensitive skin. Well! This really stung my face! The next day the areas on my face that this cleanser had touched became dry and scaly and red. The day after, my face was still red and I had some very deep breakouts.


I really DO NOT recommend this product for people with sensitive skin.

This prodcut is very nice, its more based on essenitial water. so if your skin is more on the dry side I think that the orange one will be better.
I switch between the orange one and the peach one as I feel.
I soak 2 pads with little of the peach one and remove makeup in the evening and morning. Very mositorising.
works well in the morning with the cleansing milk at night.
Now i'm not in the mood for cleansing milk.
My skin is sensetive to cold so I use the orange one.

This is a great water cleanser type but it is definitely not a one step cleanser. I use this to take off my make up, I used a separate eye make up remover for waterproof eyeliner, etc. Then after using this I then clean my face with a foaming cleanser, to make sure I removed all my make up. I use foundation, primer, sunscreen, etc. This is great at what it does, I can really see my foundation melting off on the cotton pad. If you have light make up, and don't have easy access to really wash your face, this is a great way to clean your face and it doesn't leave a filmy feeling on your skin, you feel clean. It also has a really nice scent, very fresh and relaxing scent.

Got this as part of a gwp. I use it as a toner in the evening after removing my make up with Shu Uemura cleansing oil and the Clarins gentle foaming cleanser for dry skin - I like to make absolutely sure all my make up is removed. I don't think this cleanser alone would be enough. I use it in the morning after the foaming cleanser. Really gorgeous smell - would repurchase.

I used this as a makeup remover and hated it, it couldn't remove my makeup well and somehow it left a film on my face.

Maybe I should have used it as a toner, but I doubt I will ever pay for this.

I use 3 types of cleansers: a rince off (Liz Earle), a cremy one (another Clarins) and this. The choice depends on how much I need to remove and how quickly I want to be out of the bathroom.
This is perfect for daily grime and light make-up or if I am feeling a bit lazy. It does the job well and leaves the skin nicely toned too. I keep repurchasing and always bring some along when travelling, thumbs up from me !

i just simply love this! One of my repurchase for sure, i've used quite a few bottles already!I don't really use it as a cleanser rather i use it as a toner, so i'm not too sure how it works as a cleanser especially if you use heavy makeup. I have tried it as a cleanser when i used pressed powder & it works amazing (:


Love love love this! :D the smell is just gorgeous too! :D

This was useless for me. I did manage to finish the bottle because I didn't want to waste it so I used it for removing makeup from my cheeks. But I still rinsed afterwards since it left a sticky residue. I really dislike this product and would never buy it again.

This slightly stung my facial skin. It left my face looking shiny. The small hole on the bottle opening, made it easy to control the amount of cleanser coming out. The smell was a lovely peachy scent. It was a strong scent, so I question the high fragrance factor. Definitely will not buy again.

I also use this quick cleanser in the morning, because I'm always in a hurry. It works well for a quick cleanse in the morning, or to freshen up your face during the day, but don't expect a deep cleanse.
It is easy to use as it is in a bottle and you just need a cotton ball and you're set. Overall pretty good product.
