After taking a poll, I determined that the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit seemed to be a pretty dependable acne fighting/skin care regime. So, I picked some up at CVS yesterday. I washed my face last night - then applied some of the spot treatment. Without exageration - I'll tell you - my acne did look better this morning. So, SCORE!
However, it has salicylic acid in it which typically severely dries out my face. So, I'll be keeping an eye on it. My game plan is as follows:
- Every morning and night wash my face with the Clean and Clear Advantage facewash (Two nights a week replace fash wash with a scrub).
- In the morning, apply the moisturizer after washing face.
- At night, follow up the fash wash with either prescription topical cream or glycolic acid pad.
- Two nights a week do a mask.
- Use the Clean and Clear on the Spot Treatment when necessary.
The spot treatment is fantastic! It really does dry out skin though, it's impossible to use more that once a day like the label suggests. At least for me.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it works! That's one of the items on my list as well and I hate trying to find info on what works - it's a lot of trial and error it seems. I've been doing the whole Proactiv thing right now. It's only been a week and results are supposed to show in 3-6 weeks so we'll see. I only picked this one because my sister uses it and since it works well for her, I figured "hey we have the same genes let me try it out."
ReplyDeleteI'm going to my dermatologist tomorrow for a full skin checkup for the first time in 8 years so I plan on annoying him with questions as well!
