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....

Hands down the best acne moisturizer ever! Not tacky, perfect under makeup and does not smell too strong! I would've put 5 stars a month ago but now I'm putting 4 because I thought it worked perfectly for HORMONAL ACNE. But it turns out that it worked perfectly for it because I was having my period, but now that I'm not it gets harder and harder for the breakout to be controlled. Hoping this would work, it didn't but maybe it keeps it at bay? I use it together with a drugstore cortizone cream and the clear days ahead spot treatment! Overall, its good! Hoping the pckaging would be better honestly! I suggest give it a try!

This is a great night treatment for acne and can even be used as a spot treatment. It has a light strange smell (but most acne medicated treatments do). If you have dry skin you don't have to worry about this drying your skin out either!

Describe Yourself acne prone skin, oily

this moisturizer is amazing. I have combo acne prone skin. I was a little leery to try it as I use a lot of heavy acne medications on my skin so it can be dry and hurt sometimes in areas. this moisturizer has evened that all out! it literally makes my skin feel like silk and my foundation goes on so smoothly! I used to have problems with my skin flaking in those dry areas when I put foundation on but not anymore. this will definitely be a repurchase for me!!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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
