Review: Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash

The Clean and Clear face wash/mask mentioned in my previous post is not the only Clean and Clear cleanser I have been trying lately, I also got a slightly exfoliating face wash, called the Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash, which I have been very happy with.

This Clean and Clear facial cleanser is less harsh on your skin than some of the other Clean and Clear products I have tried, which means you can actually use it every day if you want, without it messing up your skin too much. And it does exfoliate slightly, which is something I like, since I do get dry patches on my skin sometimes, even though my skin is generally combination/oily. Of course, if you need serious exfoliation for some reason, you might need to use something with rougher exfoliants in it, but for day to day use, this is really perfect.

So unlike the other Clean and Clear products I have reviewed so far, the Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash is really a product I would recommend to everyone, especially for those with oily or combination skin of course, but I think it really works on other skin types too.

So this Clean and Clear facial cleanser was probably the best buy out of all the Clean and Clear products I got!

Review: Clean and Clear Blackhead clearing 2-in-1 wash/mask

Another one of the Clean and Clear products (besides the Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer) that I tried that I liked, but didn't fully see all the advantages of, was the Clean and Clear Blackhead clearing 2-in-1 wash/mask, and the reason for that was simply that I actually don't have that many blackheads. (Which probably makes you wonder why I got this product in the first place right? Well, the pharmacy where I bought it had a "Buy 3, get one free" offer on Clean and Clear products, and this seemed like the 4th best thing on offer. And I figured it would probably double as a reliable Clean and Clear facial cleanser, even if you don't have blackheads)

So if you are reading this review to see if the Clean and Clear Blackhead clearing 2-in-1 wash/mask gets rid of blackheads or not, I can't answer that, since I didn't use this Clean and Clear cleanser for that, but I must say I liked it very much otherwise. It's a mix between a facial wash and a mask basically, which means it looks like a mask, pretty much, but you leave it on for less time. Neutrogena has a very similar product as well, for those of you looking for an alternative.

I liked the smell and the texture of this wash/mask, it wasn't as heavy as some masks are, but was heavier than a simple cleanser, of course. And your skin really does feel superclean, yet not dried out afterwards! So I believe this Clean and Clear cleanser does a great job at cleansing your skin, so it could be worth trying even if blackheads aren't your main issue. I certainly liked this wash/mask a lot, despite not worrying about the whole blackhead thing so much.

If you are looking specifically for Clean and Clear blackhead fighting products, I think this could be a great buy for you, since I saw several people who bought this Clean and Clear face wash with blackheads in mind say that it is the best blackhead product they have ever used in different reviews. So I would recommend it especially for anyone looking for a cure against blackheads, but yeah, for other people with oily skin too. If you have dry skin, this product wouldn't work on you though, since it is designed to dry out acne and the skin in general as well, I believe. But anyone who has oilier skin can probably benefit from this Clean and Clear facial cleanser a lot, despite the rather funny name!

Review: Several different Clean and Clear products

One problem with liking beauty products a lot is that I rarely stick with an entire beauty routine, or line of products for a long time, and that can be a problem, since a lot of beauty products are actually meant to be used together for best results. But since I always run into so many new products I want to try, I often mix products, meaning I use a cleanser for my face from one brand, a moisturizer from a different brand, an eye cream from a third brand, and so on. And while that is okay, I think it could still be interesting to see how the results vary if you try entire lines together. So that's what I have decided to do the next few times I try new skin care products, to buy them in sets if possible, use them for a long period of time (it is said that your skin needs some time to get used to new products after all, and that it is normal to have your skin break out during the first week after you try a new product, so for the best results - and to avoid breaking out every week - I will try to stick with each line I try, for a month or two at least).

Some of the lines I really want to try are Bliss's skin care products (since I am a huge Bliss junkie, like we all know) as well as Dermalogica's lines. But I started off with some Clean and Clear products, since I had heard a lot of good things about the from friends, and also read a lot of really nice reviews about several of the products online. So I will be reviewing a Clean and Clear moisturizer, a Clean and Clear face wash (the daily variety), a Clean and Clear moisturizer, a Clean and Clear blackhead eraser mask as well as a Shine Control Facial Lotion by the brand in the upcoming posts, to answer the question: Does Clean and Clear work as well as people say?

So if you are thinking of getting this rather price worthy drug store brand, stay tuned to read some more about the products!
