Q: Is it a non comodogenic moisturizer?

submitted by Amanda - 10 months ago
  • A: Interesting that the brand would sell a comedongenic moisturizer targeted for acne-prone skin. 🧐

    submitted byDielle - 6 months ago
  • A: They answered down below that the product IS non comedogenic. I believe that’s what they meant to say here as well, but had a little typo. Also, salicylic acid is a known non comedogenic ingredient.

Q: I also use a face wash with 1% salicylic acid. Is it safe to combine these 2 products or will it dry out my skin?

submitted by Amy - 3 years ago
  • A: Hey Amy, It is safe to combine the Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Facial Moisturizer with a 1% Salicylic acid. Depending on your skin type, you may experience drier skin. If you do, I recommend not using more than one salicylic acid product in your skincare routine.

    I’ve been using this face lotion for 10+ years. It’s super lightweight and layers great under makeup! I love the way it makes my skin feeling fresh. This works really well for acne prone skin! The only downside is that the bottle changed and doesn’t have the pump anymore.

    Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Moisturizer hydrates while helping fight breakouts. It absorbs quickly, feels light on the skin, and won’t clog pores. A good everyday option for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

    but I seriously believe you'll be glad you read it once you do. This is my 3rd time using it in 2 days and I'm in love, I've been so excited about a product to write a review and I honestly NEVER WRITE REVIEWS for anythinggggg ever. So PLEASE read this if your face is OILY OR DRY!! Most people may think oil on your face is ok? I thought it was, then I found out that oil means your face is dehydrated!!!! So if you have dry skin at all on your face or oil, I definitely recommend this!! My usual routine to wash my face is either just wipe off oil with lukewarm washcloth or in the shower biore charcoal. With those alone my face was soo dehydrated. But everything else I tried made my face worse and worse. Now I just put this on after I wash my face. This moisturizer I've used 3 times, my face finally feels the way it should. Soft and not oily/greasy. The patches of dry skin are completely gone, my face isn't shiny and doesn't itch anymore! The dry skin was driving me insane!! I'm not even being dramatic, it was so itchy that I was scratching my face in my sleep without even knowing it. I also had a horrible amount of oversized pores filled with oil and dirt on my nose and t-zone, they're soo much cleaner and smaller. Before washing my face(while nothing cleaned it properly) was a chore. Now I'm excited to wash my face every morning and night! I have sensitive combination skin, very dry, and this is amazing... It smells like a clean lotion, I really like it. It has a tingly/cooling sensation, let's you know it's cleaning and moisturizing! But don't get it on your eyelids.. It doesn't hurt but the cooling sensation doesn't go away for a while. Your skin also absorbs it right away, After I wash my face I use 3-4 full squirts and rub my hands together and apply to my entire face.... And it prevents pimples?! This is thee confidence booster, I'm so serious.. I feel gorgeous now, I honestly feel the happiest I ever have with the complexion of my face. It's gentle enough to use everyday too. And my boyfriend noticed that after just one use, my face was clearer. I usually don't believe reviews when they say after one use you can notice a difference, but now I can believe them because this is one of those products. I'm beyond happy with this product! I wish I could give it more stars!!

    The ingredients in this perfect for your skin. I was struggling with breakouts and having trouble with the texture of my skin. It really does work and a great value of your money. The scent isn’t too strong which is perfect for my taste and the packaging is simple and easy to use.

    Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Moisturizer is a great everyday product for those with acne-prone or oily skin. It provides lightweight hydration while containing 0.5% salicylic acid to help fight and prevent breakouts. The formula is oil-free, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for both morning and evening use. It leaves the skin feeling soft, refreshed, and balanced without clogging pores. I love that it treats acne while also moisturizing—no need for separate products

    I’m so disappointed in the new formula! I actually came here to read the reviews to see if I was crazy, and I think that I counted ten of them with complaints about the new formula causing breakouts, etc. I’ve literally used this for 20+ years. It was perfect. Why change it?! Bring back the original/old formula (and bottle)!!!

    I hate this new product. I hate how they had decided. Oh we need need to upgrade this product but reality the older product with the blue top or was purple was better and it was better quality and it was more effective this product now it is defective and it literally causes rashes and breakouts and leave your face, nice and red. And this is sad that they had decided to not ask anyone how they felt about the older product versus the newer product and I feel like the newer product sucks and I feel like the older product was better. Just don’t buy this newer product because you will end up looking red rashes and pimples /more breakout .

    I’ve used this product for several years and now I’m 32 and I always felt like it helped me from breaking out, but ever since they changed the formula I was getting bad breakouts almost everyday. So I decided to stop using this moisturizer and I feel like I’m not breaking out everyday. Really disappointed.

    I have been using this product for as long as I can remember. I recently ran out so purchased a new bottle. I was surprised to see new formula and changed bottle. New formula makes my skin feel greasy and I have been breaking out. This is the only change to my skin routine in many years. I miss the original. I miss the tingle. I’m sad because I have had the perfect combination of products and now I have to spend time and money to find a new product to replace the clean and clear moisturizer. I also dislike the new bottle without the pump.

    I’ve used this product before, at the beginning of my skincare journey. I liked it, it was fine. But nothing special. Does it work? Yes, but it’s not my favourite. The product sometimes dries up on the lid, so the packaging sometimes gets stuck. No scent - which is nice.
