Clean & Clear : Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free

I live in a very dry climate (desert) and it is unbelievably difficult to find a reliable moisturizer. I bought this moisturizer hoping it may be the solution. It feels very great on my skin and I like the fact that it has salicylic acid so it helps battle acne. I have light acne, but for some reason, whenever I use this product I wake up the next day only to find myself with new spots on my face. I want to like this product, I really do, and it feels so good on my face and it actually does a good job moisturizing, but all-in-all my face breaks out the next day. I will recommend this product, you should try it. I just think I should pass on it because my skin hasn't been reacting to it the way I would've wished, but maybe you may have better luck. And for the price, its not taking a big chance

Made my break outs worse, but very gradually. a year later my acne went from mild to moderate/severe. It happened gradually so I didn't realize it was the cause at first .. But I quit using it and 3 months later my skin is back to normal, very mild acne almost none existent. .. only I have very minor scaring now. I don't recommend it

i have very dry sensitive skin, so i think this product is more for someone with oily or combination skin that isn't sensitive. it's hard for me to find products that work, but i would recommend this to someone with flaky skin

It's a good moisturizer but, I switched to a new brand. felt like didn't really work. I developed some small bumps from this one. I finished the whole bottle since I'm cheapskate. And therefore, I can really tell it didn't work for me at all

I had used tried moisturizer for the first time while on Proactiv. It seemed promising, however it led to additional postules all over my face. I decided to give the product away and try something new. Then for some strange reason about a year later, i decided to try it again, this time however with Retin-A. Because of the salycylic acid it caused my skin to become more dry, flaky and irritated. In addition it didn't moisturize nearly enough to what i need from the drying effects from Retin A. Therefore large cysts had formed on my chin and upper cheeks. My regime was a salycylic Obagi face wash and this lotion in the AM. Nightly was the same, with the addition of Retin A .05%. This moisturizer could be very effective if you had very light or light acne. But with moderate acne, along with Retin-A, it wasn't a very helpful product. I have retired the product and am now using Cetaphil, Retin-A, and Neutrogena Moisture SPF 15 with better results.

Ive used this a few times over the past 2 years and every time I seem to break out from it. UGH, very annoying, it is light weight and rubs in well but the Salicylic acid in it seems to react with my skin.

I have been using the product for some time and I've nearly finished the bottle. I do think that it works well to prevent further breakouts, but in terms of moisturizing the skin I think it has little effect and wears off before long, making my skin dry again. So, I would suggest opting for a better brand. By the way, I couldn't give my review a lousy one star because it didn't exacerbate my acne. Hope this helps.

If you like nice floral smells, and no acne along with a tough of swelling and redness, THEN THIS IS THE MOISTURIZER FOR YOU! lol

I find that this moisturizer works well to somewhat keep acne at bay for me, but doesn't actually moisturize my face, it only makes it dryer. When I first apply it, it gives a very nice cooling sensation, and moisturizes for about 5 minutes. After that, my face is back to being dry, and applying more only worsens this feeling. However, it did not make my acne worse. Upon further inspection I see that it contains salicylic acid, which is why it keeps breakouts at bay but doesn't do much in terms of moisturizing. I've also notices that it sometimes leaves a strange film on my face which comes off in white waxy-looking clumps if scraped at with a nail. Overall, this product is eh. It is pretty easy to find a better moisturizer than this once, and I would advise you to keep looking to get a fully moisturized feeling face.

Irritating and drying, though it aborbs pretty fast and has a pleasant cooling sensation once applied.The 0.5% salicylic acid is definitely ineffective.
