Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisteriser

Pros:

Oil-free
Cheap
Moisterises very well while still non greasy

Cons:

Packaging

Hi! I am a teenager with oily skin that can sometimes get very dry and aggrevated (this is due to me being a competetive swimmer, as the water dries my skin out). This is the best moisteriser i have ever used! It is light enough for me to wear during the day and it sinks into my skin incredibly quickly. But it is also moisterising for me enough to use it in the evenings when my skin is usually red, dry and looking rather angry. I wake up in the morning with moisterised yet non-oily skin. Previously i had tried many moisterisers to try and combat my acne and found them to be drying to my skin. I have also tried moisterisers not geared towards acne in an attempt to cure the dryness. But this just clogged my pores and caused me to break out. Although this product does not cure my acne it certainly does not break me out or contribute to it. Finally i have found something that works! Hope this helps xx

Been using for years

Pros:

non-greasy (cooling action feels nice)
reduces acne (the menthol has nothing to do with this)
relatively inexpensive, a little goes a long way (even works on body)

Cons:

not all acne disappears unfortunately, but I have tested it and it definitely works to reduce the acne
some people may not like the feeling of the menthol cooling their face
salycillic acid may dry your skin, but it definitely prevents grease

I have been using this moisturizer for maybe 8 or 9 years now. Other products I have tried either clogged my pores or left me feeling greasy. I like this product because after you put it on and it dries it is like it isn't even there. Your face doesn't look like it has lotion, but it still moisturizes you. It does in fact help to reduce acne. I have tested this several times by using it for a few months and then stopped using it for a few weeks. After I stop using it I notice my acne definitely increases. While it doesn't completely stop my acne, it is still effective in preventing at least some of the acne that would occur, if not most of it. What really helps is when I go to sleep at night I take an extra blob and dab it onto problem areas (cysts). The problems areas are usually reduced by the next morning. I apply it every time after I wash my face, which is usually twice a day and after a shower. It does not dry my skin anymore than it already is. In fact I could get away with only applying it once a day and it would still keep my skin from drying out.

Best Moisturiser Ever.

Pros:

Helps fight Acne
Evens out complexion

Cons:

Doesn't actually moisturise great

The Salyclyic acid in this helps make my skin super smooth! It gets rid of any flakiness whatsoever and doesn't burn at all.

Decent cheap little moisturizer.. but I believe it to be more irritating than effective.

Pros:

Slightly good moisturizing effect
Cheap

Cons:

Irritating
Don't believe it to help with acne much if any

The moisturizing effect of the product is ok for the price.. but I find the menthol in the product much more irritating the necessary.

doesn't do much

Pros:

gentle
light and non greasy

Cons:

does not help heal current acne
does not prevent future acne

this does not clear acne. I use it all over my face to moisturize without causing breakouts. works to moisturise face without causing it to become greasy or oily . It also has a 0.5% salicylic acid which is supposed to help acne

Pros:

Clean smell
Moisturizing
Lasts really long

Cons:

Sometimes stings

I've been using this moisturizer at night for so long, and the SPF version for the morning. But, sometime when I use the benzoyl peroxide gel from the regimen and this lotion it starts to sting.

Pros:

Did moisturize my skin, leaves my skin feeling clean, cleared up some of my acne, helped my dry and flaky skin turn completely back to normal, easy to bring everywhere

Cons:

None so far

Before I used this product, I used the wrong facial cleanser and it completely ruined my face!! It made my acne get extremely worse and the skin of my face was flaky and red. I looked horrible and couldn't go outside of my house anymore. But after i used this moisturizer, in just 3 days my face was beginning to be less swollen, less red, less flaky, and more moisturized. Thank God i found this! I have been using it for a month and my face is clearing and no more dry skin!!!

Pros:

Didn't cause me to breakout any more than usual.

Cons:

Didn't moisturize.
Stings slightly which means it's irritating my already irritated skin.
Useless amount of Salycilic Acid

I purchased this to help with my dry skin caused by my excessive use of Benzoyl Peroxide. Unfortunately, it didn't moisturize and the amount of Salycilic Acid in this is absolutely useless. If you want a moisturizer that doesn't moisturize and doesn't help your acne, then this is for you.

Pros:

Makes face feel clean
Nice smell

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize
Cheap ingredients
Dries out skin

For me, it dried out my skin, didn't moisturize in the slightest.

Pros:

Refreshing, feels very light, doesn't make skin oily, helps dry skin, leaves skin soft, no scent, cooling sensation, doesn't clog pores, inexpensive, works well under makeup, comfortable, helps fight spots, sinks in skin, calms breakouts, you can feel it working, nice texture to it, very moisturising.

Cons:

None.

I use Clean & Clear Dual Action Oil-Free Moisturiser which is branded by the same name but given by some of the reviews I think it may be slightly different from the one I purchase in the UK, compared to the one you can purchase in the USA. It's genuinely the best moisturiser I've ever used and I will continue using it. Great for soothing acne and reducing spots as well as keeping skin healthy and soft!
