Benefits

  • Delivers breathable, oil-free hydration without clogging pores, helps improve skin tone and texture, and provides oil control for a beautiful matte finish

Item 2246262

How To Use

Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer 1-3 times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2-3 times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

Precautions: For external use only. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using if you are using other topical acne medications at the same time or immediately following use of this product. This may increase dryness or irritation of the skin. If this occurs, only one medication should be used unless directed by a doctor. When using this product avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

The most AMAZING acne treatment!!

I have struggled for many years with oily, acne prone skin, and have tried just about everything on the market. The clear days ahead acne treatment is the most effective moisturizer I have ever used. It leaves my skin soft and smooth and exfoliates my skin gently, with little to no redness and irrit...

Please bring back Hope in a Bottle

This product is more gelatinous and wet in consistency, and feels slick on the skin most of the day (like oil). I prefer Hope in a Bottle, which is a satiny (less wet) lotion. Clear Days may fight acne and control oil, but the slippery wet feel on the skin is not what I want, so oil control is moot....

I am so SO glad i found this moisturizer. Its fragrance free and good for sensitive skin and absolutely will not make you break out. Its really helped with my acne and keeps me hydrated. Plus, a little goes a long way. The only down side is that the smell is a little off putting do to the lack of added fragrance, but its a small price to pay. I love it so much i will definitely continue to purchase.

Hope in a Bottle reinvented!

I have sensitive and oily skin and Hope in a Jar didn't do it for me. In later years, neither did Purity Made Simple, both caused breakouts. Thrilled to originally find Hope in a Bottle and so disappointed when it was discontinued. I feel as if this is as close a replacement as I can get. A pea size drop covers my whole face and easily absorbed into the skin, no residue. It's not drying and is used twice a day. I love the scent, fresh and clean.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Having oily skin, it has been difficult finding a moisturizer that does not cause breakouts until I tried Clear Days Ahead. Because of all the oil, I don't need to use a moisturizer all the time; however, on the days I do, this has been the only moisturizer that doesn't leave my skin oily or causes more breakouts. I'm am sixty-five years young. I have a granddaughter, teenager, who also has oily skin and Clear Days Ahead is working well for her.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Best daytime face lotion, bad packaging

Submitted 6 years ago

By Kacie

From Richmond

I love this lotion and have been using it for almost 3 years, but I really hate the packaging on this because it makes the product come out way too fast and leaves a lot behind unless you cut it open and salvage the rest yourself.

Q
Do you use this after cleansing and before the toner? Or after the toner? And do you leave it on and continue with the rest of your skincare?
Asked by T
Official Answer By Philosophy - Brand Engage
Thank you for your question! We recommend using the Clear Days Ahead spot treatment after cleansing the skin and generally after using toner. Simply cover the entire affected area with a thin layer 1-3 times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2-3 times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day. Was this answer helpful to you
