Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Clearing Astringent Salicylic Acne Medication
Clean & Clear Advantage Clearing Astringent Salicylic Acne Medication claims to give a deep-down clean, clearing your pores from dirt, oil and other impurities that cause breakouts. It's formula contains 1% Salicylic acid and ACELERAâ,,¢ complex, products which have both been proven to help fight acne. Salicylic acid helps rid your face of unwanted pimples, whilst the ACELERAâ„¢ complex helps to minimize side effects such as dryness and irritation. Used daily, this cleanser can help prevent breakouts.
To use, clean skin as usual, then apply product to a cotton ball or pad and cover problem areas three times daily.
This toner is awesome it really gives my skin a cool clean feeling and it helps get rid of my pimples and prevent new ones from forming! - Mary
On days when it may seem stronger than I need, I just slightly moisten my cottonpad with water first, then add the astringent and it is perfect. My skin is very breakout-prone but sensitive, too. - Anonymous
Along with the Clear Advantage kit (which I also use) my face is radiant and has a youthful glow. - EuroBeauty, Brooklyn, NY
The reviews for Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Clearing Astringent Salicylic Acne Medication were generally positive. Many reviewers mentioned that the product cleared up blackheads and reduced the visibility of pores. Many report a pleasant, cooling sensation on their skin after using the product.
A few reviews, however, were less than glowing. One cited that whilst the product was adequate, it could use some improvements as it was not clearing acne as much as promised. Another reviewer stated that it completely dried out her skin, leaving it flaky and unpleasant looking. She also stated that the product had no effect on her acne.
Taking into account the product claims, customer reviews and other available information, I believe I would give this product a try. The user reviews generally confirm the product's claims, making me trust it more than a product I know nothing about. I personally do not suffer from acne but do have occasional pimples and oiliness. Therefore, I probably would not use the product the recommended three times a day. It would, however, be included in my daily facial care regime when I thought it was necessary.
Overall, the product seems like a good, standard product in a line of treatments that could potentially help acne sufferers.
