Clean & Clear, Citrus Morning Burst Facial Cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng

Clean & Clear Morning Burst products have always been my top favorite products when it comes to facial care. It's not only the results that I am after though, it is the scent. I am clearly addicted to Clean & Clears uplifting citrus scent that they use in their products.

When browsing my local Target this past week I came across 2 new products in the Morning Burst collection that I just had to try. There were 2 different scents to choose from, and seeing how I have always been more fond of the citrus scent, I went with Clean & Clear, Citrus Morning Burst Facial Cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng. (You may also buy this product in a citrus lime scent).

Appearance:
 
Now I am used to purchasing Morning Burst products in squeeze tubes, so I was pretty excited to see that their newest cleanser was being sold in a clear plastic pump bottle. I liked it, I figured it would make it easier to get the product out of the bottle.

Inside of the bottle there is a clear jelly like liquid which is the cleanser. Floating throughout the cleanser you can clearly see a whole slew of orange colored micro-beads that when dissolved leave behind a nice uplifting citrus scent.

The Promise:
 
Clean & Clear, Citrus Morning Burst Facial Cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng promises to wake you up with its uplifting scent. Leaving your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and energized.

My Use:
 
I already knew the micro-beads in this product wouldn't do much for when it came to exfoliating.

Previous products in the collection use the same orange colored dissolving beads, and they never did anything much when it came to exfoliating. I was okay with that though, because really I am after the energizing citrus scent that it leaves behind. At least I hope this one left behind the scent anyway.

Anyhow, I pumped around 3 squirts of the cleanser into my palms, ran it under water for a bit, and began washing my face with it. The gorgeous citrus scent that I already knew and loved made it's presence known... only it was a hell of a lot more subtle than other products in the Morning Burst collection.

The cleanser itself was also pretty slimy feeling on my skin, and it was even a little tough to rinse off. As I rinsed it felt like the cleanser was still on my face, and I found that I was rinsing way more than usual, just to rid my skin of the slimy texture.

Once finally rinsed completely, my skin did feel clean, there is no denying that. The uplifting citrus scent though was not detectable at all, which was pretty disappointing, because the main reason I purchased Clean & Clear, Citrus Morning Burst Facial Cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng, was for the uplifting boost it gives me in the morning. None here though.
 
The clean feeling on my skin lasted for the majority of the morning.

Overall:
 
Well I'm not very impressed with Clean & Clear, Citrus Morning Burst Facial Cleanser with Vitamin C and Ginseng. I have used other Morning Burst products with really nice results. This one though just failed to impress. Its uplifting morning scent is very subtle, it takes awhile to rid the cleanser from your face completely, and it leaves skin feeling refreshed and clean for only a short amount of time.

Although I do not praise this one, and highly recommend this particular product, I still would recommend Morning Burst Scrub, which smells great, leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed, and fills the senses with an energizing kick. Although this product does not last long either, it leaves behind a nice citrus scent to wake you up in the morning.
