DUPE: Clarins Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel

"A face wash dupe?!" I hear you say... Yes, I face wash dupe! Is there such a thing? I don't know. But these two products do pretty much the exact same thing. They're so similar that it is in fact pretty scary.
Once of these is by my sink and the other is in my shower. And it wasn't until yesterday that I thought, 'hold on a minute, the end results are pretty much the exact same!' It's quite hard to show you how similar they are. After all, these aren't lipsticks that you can swatch next to each other but I will try and explain the best that I can. The two products in question are the Clarins Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel (£11) and the JooMo 100% Truly Natural Face Wash* (£4.75). I have reviewed the JooMo face wash in full and you can view that review here. Whilst the smells and purposes of these products are different, they do both wake your skin up in the exact same way. Whichever one I use, I always end up with the same brightened 'awake' look to my skin. JooMo is aimed at blemished prone skin though so if blemishes are something that you suffer with, I'd recommend that one over the Clarins one. Although JooMo doesn't dry the skin out, I'd recommend the Clarins one for more normal skin types instead of oily just because it's not aimed at blemished prone skin.
Have you tried any of these? What do you think?
