Item 2246262
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.
Active: Salicylic Acid (1.0%). Inactive: Water, Dimethicone, Polysilicone-11, Butylene Glycol, Acacia Decurrens/Jojoba/Sunflower Seed Wax/Polyglyceryl-3 Esters, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Squalane, Lecithin, Oligopeptide-10, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid Copolymer, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Ceteareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, PPG-12/Smdi Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ethoxydiglycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, O-Cymen-5-Ol.

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 use this primarily as a spot treatment. Its effective on blemishes and helps prevent breakouts without drying out my skin. Slightly pricey.
Great product, just a little pricey
I have used this for a couple of years and it works great. It's just a little pricey for what it is.
Has a very good texture and goes very smooth on a skin. Love

I have combination to oily skin and hormonal cystic acne. This product dries me out at first, but it was just removing the first layer to reveal soft, clean, acne-free skin underneath. And the dryness was definitely not bad by any means. It balanced out my oil production!

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?
