Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer — 

At thirty years old, the last thing I expected was to have to deal with blemishes for two months straight.  Was my skin changing? Was my winter moisturizer too rich? I didn't really care what the cause was... I just wanted to get rid of the unsightly red bumps on my face.  I picked up Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer because I wanted to try a moisturizer with salicylic acid in it.  I hadn't used an anti-acne product in about ten years I was getting desperate.

This moisturizer is thin, light, and easy to spread across skin.  It absorbs quickly into skin and leaves it feeling cool and almost tingly.  I was afraid that Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer wouldn't be enough to keep the dry parts of my face hydrated, but I needn't have worried.  I can apply this stuff after my shower at 6am and then I don't have to think about a facial moisturizer again until after I wash my face at bedtime. 

The best part about using this product is that it has almost completely eliminated the various red bumps and spots on my chin and cheeks.  I've been using it since Sunday and it is like the last couple of months never happened on my face.  I am totally impressed with the improvement! I would like to eventually switch back to my higher-quality moisturizers (Kiss My Face, philosophy, LUSH), but for now I am sticking with my $4 bottle of Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer.

That con is incorrect. This product contains salicylic acid which has been proven to reverse wrinkles and act as an anti-aging compound. Infact, most anti-aging creams contain salicylic acid as the main ingredient. You can google it.....

My guess is the philosophy Hope in a Jar dry/sensitive skin formula was just too rich for my skin. I don't even know why I bought it. I used to use it back when I coached b/c of the wind. Nowadays I usually use the regular formula.

You may have developed an allergy to one of those moisturizers.
