Q: I also use a face wash with 1% salicylic acid. Is it safe to combine these 2 products or will it dry out my skin?

submitted by Amy - 2 years ago
  • A: Hey Amy, It is safe to combine the Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Facial Moisturizer with a 1% Salicylic acid. Depending on your skin type, you may experience drier skin. If you do, I recommend not using more than one salicylic acid product in your skincare routine.

    This moisturizer is very lightweight. I use it every day and night especially under my eyes. There’s a slight smell but it’s not super noticeable. I will continue to use this I just wish there was a way to get more product out of it without opening it.

    I've used this moisturizer daily for years and years. Lightweight but keeps my skin from feeling dry, and I love that it doesn't leave me greasy or shiny. I can layer it under a sunscreen or use it alone at night. I hope they never stop making it!

    So This moisturizer goes along with the face wash. It was soft moisturizing and after a while of using it made a huge difference in my skin. Not too sure though how well it would work unless you use the face wash with it!

    Since I first tried Clean&Clear’s Dual Action Moisturizer, I haven’t used any other moisturizer for my day and night time routine. If you have acne prone and oily skin, this is the moisturizer for you! I do feel a bit of a tingle after applying it but that quickly fades. My skin feels very clean and I never wake up oily. I love love love this moisturizer! 10/10

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful moisturizer. It has acne medication within so no need to purchase separate. My teenage daughter has used it and says that it wakes up her skin. It is a big bottle so it will last long. Will be using many times.

I found this product to be gentle but effective in moisturizing my skin and keep breakouts away. I like how gentle it was on my sensitive skin and didn’t cause any additional breakouts or redness. I highly recommend this product.

I have dry areas on my face and also don't like products that leave that greasy feeling behind. My face feels smoother and softer than before. I'm definitely going to continue to use it and recommend it for sure!

I love that it moisturizes my face without making my skin look or feel greasy or oily. At the same time, it targets blemishes. My blemishes are gone much quicker and I don't have to use a spot treatment since this product kills 2 birds with 1 stone.
