Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to write about Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment Review. I have combination skin and do not have chronic acne but instead have one or two breakouts a month. Sometimes these breakouts are painful pimples, other times they are small and can be ignored. I had purchased this product to treat my painful pimples, reduce their size and redness. It is supposed to be used as a spot treatment on pimples and should not be applied on your entire face to prevent future outbreaks. The product contains salicylic acid which is extremely drying and hence should be applied in moderation. I generally use it at night before going to bed.
About the Product:
Salicylic Acid Acne Medication- Quickly reduces pimple size and redness- Won’t over-dry skin. Clean & Clear® Advantage™ Acne Spot Treatment has a unique formula that quickly reduces the visible signs of breakouts. That’s because Clean & Clear® Advantage™ Acne Spot Treatment is a breakthrough in acne fighting. In clinical testing, this clear formula was shown to make pimples smaller and visibly reduce pimple redness. In just days, you will see noticeably clearer skin. Plus, this unique formula will treat pimples without over-drying – leaving your skin looking clear and beautiful.
Directions for Use:
Cleanse thoroughly before applying medication-cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily-if bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or even every other day-recommended for daily use.

My Experience with the Product:
This has become my go-to product for treating my occasional pimples. It is great for drying them out however I wouldn’t recommend it to those with dry or sensitive skin. When I have a pimple, I just apply it on it at night before going to bed. By morning, the size of the pimple is significantly decreased. Its best not to apply it all over your face as it is super drying and will leave your skin flaky. It lasts for a long time and hence is a good value for the price.
