Red Blotchy Patches on my Face Make Me Very Sad and Sore
Honestly, before buying this product I had heard mixed reviews on facial treatments with benzoyl peroxide in it, however, I decided to test it for myself. BIG mistake. After only 3 days of using the facial wash along with the spot treatment on problems areas, my face developed a red, bumpy, almost scaly-like rash. My skin is not usually the sensitive type to begin with so I was initially worried about reacting to this product. Once I got the rash, I stopped using the product like crazy and began moisturizing my skin as much as possible in order to get rid of the hideous and painful rash covering my entire face. It took approximately 2 weeks for the rash to fully disappear. I have learned my lesson to not use such harsh chemicals on my face. And PLEASE to those of you who have minor acne problems on your skin, I would not recommend such a harsh treatment like this on your face and definitely consult your doctor before considering this product. It is extremely harsh on the skin and people commonly get reactions from it,
I have chemical burns on my face!
Though the burns are mild, i have chemical burns on my face from this cleanser. It doesn't lather and it felt oily going on it was barely on my face for a minute and within a couple hours my face was itchy and completely red. It's been 3 days now and the redness and burning hasn't left. I would not recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin. Ip
This is a disappointed. I bought the package thinking it could work. Did not make much of a difference and the sizes of the moisturizer and the spot treatment should be equivalent to the size of the face wash since you need to use all 3 together in order to get a chance to see the best results. I dumped it then went back to couple of times to give it a chance again and still didn't do anything for me. Seems like a deal, but for something that does not work well it is a rip off and definitely not worth it. 2 words - False Advertisement!
After hearing some decent reviews on this kit, I decided to go out and buy it. This kit comes with 3 pieces:
1) Cream Cleanser - which contains Benzoyl Peroxide
2) Facial Moisturizor - which contains Salicylic Acid
and 3) A spot treatment - which also contains Salicylic Acid
I have a few comments to say about this product. I bought this product twice. The first time I bought it, I realized that after 1 week of usage (and my sister reading the box, that the product had been expired for a whole month before I had even purchased the item. So tip #1, read the expiry date on the product. I didn't know that product like these do have expiry dates, but apparently ... they do.
So I exchanged the product for a new set of the same kit (definitely checked the expiry date on that one)
Since this kit is a set of three I will review each product on its own:
Clean and Clear Acne Control Cleanser (the big bottle in the picture)
Using this product did make my skin feel nice. It does have a little sting to it when using the product, almost like microscopic 'ice' on your face. I did realize that I had to constantly shake the bottle before each use because the products inside tend to separate ( Like I would get a clear fluid from the cleanser and then the cream cleanser would come out... no pun intended, that is literally what happened)
- Clean and Clear Acne Control Moisturizer (the medium sized bottle)
I don't have much to say about this product. The moisturizer has a very light consistency to it but to me it, made my skin feel a little tight after use ... and I have oily skin.
Last but not least,
- Clean and Clear Acne Spot Treatment (the smallest bottle)
This was the product that I was most excited about to use, but was also the product that disappointed me the most. I would apply about 1/4 of a pea size to any pimples that appeared. The product, after about half an hour or so, would begin to peel the skin on and around where applied the product.
All in all, I definitely would never buy this product again. After about 4 weeks of use, I didn't see much of an improvement in my skin. This product did not live up to my expectations.
