REVIEW: Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Moisturizer

Let's go back with a little bit of a story.
I used the Clean and Clear Dual Action Oil-Free Moisturizer for about a year and half, going through about two or three bottles of the stuff. I would have called it my holy grail product, as it helped control my acne and was super moisturizing, and the superb packaging with the pump did not hurt. I still do love it. But the thing was, I was really oily. In the morning when I would wake up, there my face would be layered with oil. Not pretty at all. And at the end of the day, my face (mostly nose and the forehead) had a substantial amount of oil piled up.

I never knew that a simple change of a moisturizer could change that.
Don't get me wrong - the Dual Action Moisturizer is a phenomenal product, but I think it's geared a bit more towards to normal to dry skinned girls. I would still pick up the product, but I think I've found its replacement, and I think for the better.

The Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Moisturizer looks like this:


Packaging:
The packaging is a basic grey color with a purple pump. In my opinion, the bottle is supreme quality. The pump is very precise, it comes so that if you turn the pump, you can lock it so no product spills out. It's easy to grip and the pump is very easy to use.

Price:
I got mine for about 6.99 USD at Walgreens. I would say that that's a great price for 4 fluid oz. of the product. It will last you a long time, too.

The actual product:
The texture is very smooth, blends and soaks into the skin easily and quickly. It moisturizes very well but comes to a pretty matte finish. Even with the finish, the product is very moisturizing and the .05% salicylic acid does not dry out the skin at all (for me, at least). It does help control acne, in my opinion. I rarely break out much any more, but I think this helps me a lot with that. The scent isn't unpleasant, but it's not overwhelmingly delicious either. It's hard to describe the scent, but it does fade away quickly.

Do I recommend?
YES. I really do love this product! I think this would be a bit better for us oily girls (or guys) out there, and as I mentioned above, the Dual Action one for the dry to normal skin. It helps to control my acne beautifully, and for the price, you can't beat!
