It just works

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Gel – ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) Gentle, effective, and dependable—with just a couple small downsides I've been using this cleansing gel for a few months now as part of my morning and night skincare routine, and ove...

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical™ Advanced Clearing Gel is a solid spot treatment that delivers on its promise to reduce breakouts quickly. I found it particularly effective on small, surface-level pimples—those annoying whiteheads or red spots that pop up overnight. After applying a thin layer, mos...

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like this product. It dried up my acne without drying out my skin in general which is so important as some products can be overly harsh. I will say it wasn't instant and took about a week of regular application to see a slow but full result, but that is totally worth it to shrink a pimple over time rather than zap it which can lead to irritated skin.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] There are two ways to use this as a spot treatment or all over. I only have small breakouts so I only used this as a spot treatment. Often a thin layer applied once was enough to clear the breakout which impressive! I felt like this didn't overly dry me out or irritate my skin while trying to treat the blemish. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who hoping to easily clear their blemish! I thought this worked better and faster than other products claiming to to do the same thing.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

My husband and I love using this gel. It removes make up and build up with ease and I love the cooking and fresh texture. I follow it up with my favorite hydrating cream.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This worked great! It goes on very light and it's not too thick. It absorbs great in the skin and doesn't leave a film. The smell isn't too overpowering. Great packaging!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
