As advertised, the Clinique For Men™ Face Scrub is excellent for prepping your face for a shave. It cleans and exfoliates your skin thoroughly, leaving it smooth and silky before you pass your razor over it. I'm enjoying the closest, smoothest, most comfortable shaves I've had in years. I recommend this product.
This has got to be the best scrub on the market, period! In the summer I like to walk on the beach getting my feet wet and full of sand as afterwards, my feet feel invigorated and smooth. The consistency of this face scrub reminds me of a very fine beach sand, mixed with a bit of water. The fact that there is salicylic acid incorporated into this scrub makes it even better! When applying, rub gently. Let the scrub do the work, don't rub it too hard into the face as the product can do the work by itself. That's one particular thing I love about this scrub vs. others on the market. Face gets a tingling/cooling sensation when using this scrub and has a nice glow/fresh appearance when finished. I find it's best to use at night before bed, and not before shaving as Clinique suggests.
As others have noted, Clinique has updated the formula (and also changed the shape of the tube to easily tell the difference). The new tube is oval shaped. Now that said, on to the review: I was a regular user of the old face scrub (and the iterations before that and even before that...). So far, I have found this formula to feel similar to the previous - the scrub particles are just as fine and densely packed in the scrub, the consistency of the actual scrub paste feels similar as well. The significant difference as others have noted is the lack of menthol. I admit I loved that cooling feeling, yet after reading that menthol is actually a skin irritant versus providing any benefit, maybe it's for the best. In comparing the ingredients, as of today (Feb 11, 2021), this website still has the old ingredient list. I compared the two and noted in the update: the menthol is gone and caramel is now the last ingredient (as opposed to third last). And the ILN # (whatever that is) is now 45828. Everything else is exactly the same. Hope it helps - I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews here for both the men's & women's scrub (side note, from what any Advisor has told me, the men's & women's products are the same except for packaging). For me, this updated scrub seems fairly similar and I'll manage without the menthol. (Tho sorry to hear others have not had a good experience so far.) I'd recommend trying it out to see what you think!
I absolutely love this. It's very exfoliating which is exactly how I like my scrubs. The only reason I rated 4 instead of 5 stars is because it's incredibly hard to get it out of the tube. I almost think mine is defective because I'm pressing my body weight into it just to get a little bit out at a time. Love it though & will purchase again for sure!
I have been a happy Men's face scrub customer for over 10 years, but the new 2021 formula is disappointing. The grains are larger, it feels greasy, & no menthol. Would not recommend this new formula. Hope that the old formula will be available again in the future.
I agree with Quinn's review. I've been a user of Clinique's Face Scrub for probably 15-20 years and a recent batch that I purchased removed the menthol and the grains are much larger, resulting in a less enjoyable experience (doesn't feel refreshing anymore without the menthol) and the larger grains don't clean/exfoliate the skin as well as the old, sand-like grains that REALLY exfoliated well and made your skin soft and super smooth. Clinique Face Scrub for Men has kept me truly looking young for my age, so I planned on always using it, but this new, disappointing formula is making me look elsewhere for someone to replicate the original, refreshing formula, unless Clinique brings it back themselves. Why remove the menthol when it reinvigorates your skin when using it and why make the granules larger when it results in a less effective scrub? Doesn't make sense.
Not very happy with the new formula. The packaging is better but the actual scrub and grains are very different from last year's formula. The granules are larger and feel more like a body scrub than a face scrub. I'm seriously considering getting a refund and finding a new scrub. I've been using clinique for 32 years.. Since I was 18 years old. Very dissatisfied.
I've used this for years and it's great but awhile back they changed the container from tall and thin to shorter and fatter. Because the scrub is quite thick it's impossible to get the last 30% of the Face Scrub out of the container without cutting it open. Does Clinique use its own stuff? Am I only one with the problem? The container works fine for products with more liquid content. This is a fail! Great product. Bad container design.
I've been using this product for 20+ years. It has been the BEST product on the market. Nothing compared to it's quality. They recently changed the formula and now it's just like everything else out there. Less microfibers and just doesn't work like it used to. Such a huge disappointment!
The mens face scrub has been my ABSOLUTE favorite Clinique product that I've used RELIGIOUSLY for many, many years. It's the only cleanser/scrub that keeps my skin clear from minor, hormonal acne breakouts AND leaves my skin feeing SO soft, fresh, and tingly. The scrub particles have always been VERY FINE and DENSELY PACKED. I prefer it to the "non-mens" scrub (though I've heard they're the same) and find it superior to the 7 Day Scrub. Even though it's a "mens" product, it's always been gentle enough for my skin. It contained some salicylic acid for acne but not as much as products specifically for acne. Plus just the right amount of menthol makes my skin feel fresh & tingly. **UNFORTUNATELY, after unpacking and using this scrub from my recent order... I was SO disappointed & upset to find that my fav product has been reformulated SO drastically that it's now UNUSABLE. Honestly, I don't know how it could be usable to any face-even men's- not just mine. Those very fine, densely packed scrub particles have been replaced by what feels like gravel. That fresh, tingly feeling is completely gone. And the icing on the cake: after ONE use of this new formulation... I had little tiny red dots all over my face (like petechiae) because it was SO ROUGH. Also unfortunate is how difficult it is to reach a human at Clinique to process a refund or exchange. Emails go unanswered indefinitely, and the "open" hours for customer service are not compatible with my schedule. Bottom line: do NOT use this new formula face scrub.
