If you do, I recommend not using more than one salicylic acid product in your skincare routine.

LMEL - 2 days ago, Verified purchaser
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)!!!
Let's go back to the older product

Not every one - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
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 .

Target customer - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.
Not my favourite, but a very solid product.

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.
CHANGE BACK THE LID

I have used this lotion for YEARS and absolutely love it, BUT since the lid has been changed from the original purple push dispenser to the new crap lid that spews lotion EVERYWHERE each time, I dang near want to quit using it all together!
Very lightweight!

So smooth and not heavy on my face at all and it has such a clean smell! The pump makes it very easy to use! I loved how well the ingredients worked against my acne and made it disappear!

This moisturizer was okay — definitely moisturized my face but did not seem to help it be more clear. I probably used half the bottle— it served its purpose but I did need to move on to a different product to address my skin conditions.
Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and with in 2 weeks of using it I could tell a difference in my skin! This is amazing I just got face wash and toner I can’t wait to see what all the steps do for my skin! Also your skin might seem like it is breaking out when you start using it but I promise it’s not your skin is purging and getting the gunk out so don’t worry!

This moisturizer does the job and is budget friendly. I do notice that it’s not very thick so it is not my first choice for a cream. It works well for my husband though
Holy grail product!

I love looking for products that can multi-task. This not only has cleared my acne, it's helped smooth out lines and wrinkles, and makes a great, and inexpensive primer for makeup prep. My skin isn't as oily, my acne is becoming a thing of the past, and it's perfect to wear under makeup. I've been using this on and off since 2000, and I always come back to this. I just bought a second bottle again not too long ago. There's something about this that just works for me. My skin is oily, acne prone and sensitive, and this moisturizer is perfection for my skin!
New formula is not good.

I’ve been using the original formula since high school and since the change I’ve been breaking out worse than I did in high school and I’m 31 years old now. I hate to say it but after 16 years I’m going to have to find a new face lotion and hope for the best…
Decent product; TERRIBLE new container.

I give this moisturizer three stars for rather than five for one reason only - the new container. I've used this stuff for years and have purchased it in the push-down, squirt-pump container which worked fine, though getting the last of it out was always a challenge. It works well, is not greasy or smelly, and the price is reasonable. And then...the change. The inevitable "new formula" marketing move to get customers to have to use (waste) more and thus, buy more. Like shrinkflation, this is the new move to make more money I guess. Anyway, the new container requires you to invert the bottle, wait for the lotion to find the opening hole and then boom - it comes out way faster than needed, Just need a little? No chance - it's coming out in buckets. And whatever you do, don't squeeze the bottle; if you do, you'll have an entire palm-full and will need more faces on which to rub it! So, I end up using way more than I need and a product which used to last 6 months now lasts 3. I'm searching for it in the old container; heck, I will transfer the product from the new bottle into the pump bottle if I have to. Alternatively, I'll buy a Cetaphil product which costs 2.5x as much.

I started using clean clear essentials dual action moisturizer a few months ago and love it. A little product goes a long way. It doesn't cause me to break out and doesn't dry my skin out. Absolutely so happy I switch to this.

Having very dry skin especially in the cold winter months, this product works amazingly! The texture just glides right on your skin and definitely moisturizes it very quickly.

Do you notice you can’t find the purple cap C&C moisturizer anywhere? That’s because it’s been replaced by the peach color new formula bottle. I thought there’s no harm is a little rebranding and gave it a try. I broke out immediately within days. I’ve been using the old C&C dual action moisturizer for over 8 years. It has been amazing for me. This new formula not only breaks me out but is heavy on the nose. Maybe one day they will release a similar formulated product but for now C&C has lost yet, another devote customer.
Great product, but please bring back the pump

I have been using this product for a number of years. It leaves my skin so soft. I am disappointed, however, that the pump has been removed. The new cap gets clogged very quickly and then a large amount suddenly spews out. I have to remove the cap and put some of the product back in. Please bring back the pump. I always got the right amount with it. Thank you for listening.

As a moisturizer itself, it does the job it’s not the best. I didn’t really notice if it helped with acne or not. To be honest, there are much better products out there than this one.
