i have been using clean & clear products for years and years.. it works great and does not dry out my skin if i go a day without using it i can immediatly tell that i have not used the product..i started using it here and there because i would get a breakout on my face here and there nothing serious but no woman wants to have a bump on her face or bilmish of any kind so i tried other products and they either dried out my skin or have it too shiny...i did not like that at all..with this product i dont have to immedialty apply lotion to my face because it is so dry...which is wonderful...it gives my skin a clear complextion. the product line also has a spot remover that i really really love....i would defintly recommend this product to anyone who is having acne issues...you cant go wrong my boyfriend loves how smooth and clear my skin is he even had the nerve to lick my face lol oh my god i freaked out
