Review: Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

Clean and Clear's Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

I was actually going to do a review on the Face Shop's Face It Oil Cut Pore Foundation, but I realized that I didn't have my mom's camera that I use to upload the pictures. So, I'm going to do a review on a product that my sister so kindly gifted me with. You can also check out her blog here.

I have uncontrollable oily skin, causing a lot of breakouts, whiteheads, and pimples. I never really had severe cystic acne, but there were times. I just apply this in the morning and at night to my trouble areas. It only takes a really small amount, because the formula is super strong.

It's like a gel-like substance, and you don't really need to use a lot. 

 (cr. not my picture, this is just to get an idea.)

They did say it would be reduced in only four hours, but that's just a bluff. It works, but it doesn't work that fast. The thing about salicylic acid is that it dries up your pimples. When your pimples dry up, they naturally fall off after SOME TIME. Some people complain that dried pimples take forever and that it's super unattractive, but I don't really find anything wrong with it. 

This is what their website says:

• The second you put it on, the powerful gel with breakthrough technology starts
  to dissolve surface oil on the skin.
• With oil out of the way the clinically proven acne medicine can then penetrate pores.
• The medication starts to clear pimples immediately, with maximum strength
  2% Salicylic acid.
• Pimples are reduced in size, swelling and redness, and the formula won’t
  over-dry your skin.
• Voila! Pimple looks better. Now get out there and have some fun!

It doesn't clear pimples immediately, but it works fairly well. The next day, I can already tell that the pimples are starting to dry up. I mean, there's no such thing as immediate results, unless it's synthetic.  It may sting a little if you have dry or broken skin. I apply this after my toner and before my moisturizer. It's really done miracles for me, and I would definitely purchase it again!
