Not Good for Sensitive Skin
I bought this for my 13‑year‑old who recently started breaking out, but unfortunately it did not work for his skin. He has sensitive, non‑oily skin, and every time he applied this product, it burned. Definitely a waste of money for us. I will say this experience reminded me how important it is to know your (or your teen’s) skin type when buying products. It can be tough to figure out, especially with teens whose hormones are all over the place, but it makes a big difference in choosing something that won’t irritate their skin.

A go-to part of my skin care
I've been using this moisturizer for years. Love having a gentle moisturizer that still provides some acne treatment as I have very oily skin and am prone to the occasional acne even as an adult. I tend to do additional moisturizers just to hydrate a bit more after, but love that this one absorbs fast and isn't greasy at all. Miss the old purple lids because you could more easily use a smaller amount at a time; other than bringing pump lids back no complaints!

Great product at a great price
Love this moisturizer. Great product at an affordable price . Very moisturizing but not overly where your face feels oily just the perfect amount for combination skin . Definitely recommend especially if you aren’t looking to spend a lot .

Does well and cheap
Lotion moisturizers aren't my favorite but this one absorbs really fast and doesn't leave a layer of sticky grease on me. It's calmed down flaky red skin within days and hasn't made my acne freak out (though your mileage may vary). Due to its price it has a lot of cheap skincare type of ingredients that some people may not want to use, so check the ingredients list.

Not a fan
greasy and thicker than C&C Dual Action Moisturizer in purple pump! I am 65 and have used Dual Action for decades in my daily routine and people say I don't look my age. I hope you have not replaced it with this product. I will have to find a different replacement if so.

Hydrating skin
I also used this when I use to have acne. I loved the scent it was very fresh. It hydrated my skin. Thin but applied nicely onto the skin. You can use 2 pumps for more thick consistency. No skin residue either.

Good moisturizer
Used this so much when I was younger. It’s so perfect for teens! Texture is good and creamy. If you use it constantly, it really is effective. Use this with a cleanser.

Great skincare product that last all day and repai
I’ve been using clean & clear dual action moisturizer for about 2 years in my skincare routine. The ingredients are amazing and so good for your skin! The design is great, with the easy one pump applicator. Never had an irritation or redness from this product, and I have sensitive/combination skin. Clean & Clear dual action moisturizer last all day, giving full hydration even with makeup on or for sunny beach days!

Nice product
My skin type is combination/dry and finding a moisturizer that combats tea zone while looking after any hydrated areas of the face has always been tricky. This product does exactly that and is extremely affordable too. I’ve been using it for over a year now and have seen fewer breakouts and blackheads.

Works great! Almost 20 years!
This is the new updated packaging. I’ve been on and off using this product for almost 20 years! Which is crazy to think about! I had someone introduce it to me when I was 19 and have used it on and off over the years. I find myself gravitating to it when my skin becomes oily or I have too many consistent breakouts! As a late teen early 20’s it worked amazing. Breakout at that age suck terribly especially with lots of consistent makeup usage. This product works amazing to stop breakouts. Used in the AM and PM!

A super good cream for acne
It is a light cream ideal for acne-prone skin. Moisturizes without leaving a greasy feeling and helps fight outbreaks thanks to its double-acting formula. It absorbs quickly and is perfect for daily use, especially if you want to keep your skin fresh, balanced and clean.

Try it for yourself and be amazed
This was a great feeling moisturizer. Never left my skin feeling sticky. It absorbed my skins as a great moisturizer should. Leaving no unpleasant scent. I would highly recommend trying for yourself

Go to lightweight moisturizer
Non Greasy! No oily residue! Hydrates! Perfect lightweight moisturizer anytime day or night. My only con is I wish they’d bring back the pump top

works really well
My favorite moisturizer to use. Has a cooling affect as well as helping with acne. Works well under makeup and makes it look seem less. A little goes a long way so it will last.

Sucks!
I've used this moisterizer for years. Now I find you've add menthol to it. Why would I want my skin to tingle and sting? What idiot thought people with blemish prone skin would want menthol added? I want my money back!

A great lightweight moisturizer for acne-prone skin! It has no scent and is not greasy. Since I started using this last month I have noticed less breakouts in areas of my face.

Lightweight and effective for clear skin
Great day time moisturizer, has always helped me with breakouts and acne. It is lightweight, with a fresh fragrance and a little goes a long way. The pump bottle is super effective, one pump is sufficient for my entire face and the bottle lasts me a long time.

Leightweight
Very lightweight formula that keeps your skin moisturized, soft and radiant. Very easy to dispense also. And a little goes a long way. However, if you have an oily skin like me it might cause even more greasy and oily look.
