  • 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....

Lovely product that definitely works-but it works just as well as cheaper drugstore options so it loses stars for that. However if you love this brand (since they do a lot of good) I would still buy it.

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?

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
