I am confused... Plz help
I have the moisturizer and I don't know if it's enough to do the job... Or is there something else's I should get to go with the moisturizer, now my acne isn't terrible I have small whiteheads and blackhead everywhere around my face and from 10 feet away my skin would seem perfect but up close... Well let's just say I wish it could be better. I'm open to answer questions about my self I just need some recommendations.

Pros:

-felt fresh on face
-smelled nice, although I've been reading not many people liked the scent
-moisturized somewhat
-toned down redness of acne a little (not anything extremely noticable though)
-isn't oily; matte finish

Cons:

-"burned" my cheeks (turned bright red)
-burned when applied
-doesn't seem like it would clear up acne much, if so very slowely

I though this little moisturizer was a great idea when I bought it. The first time I used it I spread it on my whole face, and I used 2 full pumps of it. Well boy did I do something wrong, my cheeks were burning like a mofo and they turned bright bright red. But, the next time around I avoided putting it on my cheeks and it seemed to work pretty well. I would also suggest not using this on the skin around the eyes either, only where you need it mainly. I have yet to try this with makeup on, and it is far too soon to tell if it has improved my acne any. The .5% salycitic acid doesn't seem very promising though. Overall, I guess it does moisturize, and my skin wasn't flaking or anything, so it does what it's suppost to.

Pros:

-tingly feeling
-helped acne very slightly
-softens skin temporarily

Cons:

-does not do much for acne unless you have very light acne
-dries out areas with dry skin
-doesn't have sunscreen

I used this product for about a month and then stopped because it didn't seem to be doing much for my breakouts. I have combination skin, so the moisturizer seemed to work for my T-zone (forehead + nose). But when I used it on my cheeks, it dried them out. So I would only recommend this product to people with either normal or oily skin with very light acne.

Pros:

-Affordable
-Absorbed into skin well
-Didn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling
-No smell

It's actually slowly helping with some systic acne I've had lingering for a while, and may or may not be helping to clear up some blackheads on my nose and chin. It LOOKS like there's less, but that may just be in my head.

Cons:

I normally put it on at night, but put it on during the day today under my powder foundation today, and within a few hours my face (nose especially) was very very shiny.

I honestly think it's better as a night moisturizer than a day one. Might be ok to use in the day during the winter though. Rated a 3, because I like what I've gotten out of it so far, but haven't used it long enough to rate anything higher.

Pros:

moisturizes
good if you are too scared to try anything else and are afraid you will break out trying something else at the moment.
good and cheap if you need a moisturizer 'NOW' because of itchy skin.

Cons:

stings face , too much if you have weird sensitive skin, and could irritate pimples you have already.

its better then not owning moisturizer at all. all round O.K moisturizer but watch your eyes when applying, cause it does sting. it was around 2 something pounds at boots..came in a medium/biggish tube.

Pros:

It moisturizes your face pretty well.

Cons:

Its not really made for sensitive skin. Your breakouts really don't go away. Makes face kind of sticky and oily-feeling.

I love Clean and Clear Products, but this one I don't use anymore and I don't think works the best for my skin. Of cource, I have very sensitive skin, so this product didn't really help me very much. Overall, it is an ok product, I don't recomend this for anyone who has sensitive skin, oily skin, or comination. Therefore, it does moisturize your skin pretty well, and dosn't get rid of acne fast.

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:

lightweight. clean tingly feeling. moisturizes.

Cons:

no spf. didn't help with acne.

The first day I used this moisturizer, I thought it was amazing because it felt smooth and clean on my face and my face wasn't oily in the morning. After a week of using it however, my face became slightly oily and I began to break out. I recently stopped using it regularly, but once and a while I'll be fooled again by the convincing bottle only to be disappointed with bad results yet again.

Pros:

Good smell
Makes my skin feel soft
Cooling sensation

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize that well
Made my face break out

Overall, it made my face break out in whiteheads especially around my nose area. I have very sensitive skin and so this product wasn't such a great idea. DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.

Too irritating
I bought this and used it for a couple of days. I felt it was actually working great. Unfortunately, it irritated my eyes and I stopped using it. I was probably just unlucky.
