Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment is an acne care product that is intended to reduce the size and redness of pimples.  As a spot treatment, it’s intended to go directly on a pimple and not to be rubbed into the entire face.

The packaging of this popular acne care product is small, so it’s convenient for a make-up bag or purse.  The pointed tip does make it easy to apply a small amount of the product directly to the pimple.  This keeps you from having to touch the area with your hands which may spread acne causing bacteria.

Salicylic acid is the active ingredient that fights acne in this product.  Salicylic acid works as an exfoliator as it removes dead skin cells, which allows new skin to show on the surface.  This does have a tendency to overly dry the area of skin, which I noticed during the first few weeks of using Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment.   Once my skin adjusted to the product, I no longer had dry spots.

After applying this product to pimples before going to bed, I definitely saw a difference the next morning.  The pimples were less noticeable and instead of being red, they matched my skin tone.  Within three days the pimples were completely gone.

I’ve used expensive spot treatments before that were just so-so, so I didn’t expect much from Clean & Clear.  However, I was surprised at how well the product actually worked.

I would definitely recommend this acne care product to anyone with the occasion pimple to moderate acne.  It does what it claims to do and it only cost around 7 dollars.

Although this is a great acne care product, you will still need to wash your face a few times per day to avoid breakouts.  This product is meant to speed the recovery process of pimples, but you need to keep your face clean to stop more acne from showing up.
