Side Effects and Directions

When using the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit, be sure to use a sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. Some of the active ingredients in the kit make skin more sensitive to sun exposure, so protect your face with a strong SPF to avoid burning, peeling, and irritation

Start with clean hands. Moisten your face and massage a pea-sized amount of the cleanser onto your skin. Rinse thoroughly and pat your skin dry. Start with one application per day, and gradually increase to using the cleanser in the morning and at night. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency back to once daily or once every other day.

Immediately after cleansing, apply a pea-sized dollop of the Acne Control Moisturizer to your face. The moisturizer can be applied up to three times daily; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.

After cleansing, you may also apply a thin layer of the Spot Treatment to affected areas of your skin. The product can be applied up to three times per day, but you should reduce the frequency of application if irritation occurs.

In-Depth Review

The Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit is a multi-step approach to clearing your skin and guaranteeing that your blemishes won’t return. The kit contains three specific acne-fighting products: the Acne Control Cleanser for deep-pore cleansing; the Acne Control Moisturizer to dissolve oil; and the Fast Clearing Spot Treatment to eliminate tough pimples in eight hours.

The Acne Control Kit is affordably priced, so it shouldn’t be a problem for most people’s budgets. However, customer reviews show mixed results. There are trends worth mentioning that can be observed amongst the negative evaluations. Some say it was completely ineffective, while others claimed that it over-dried their skin. Interestingly, a small group of customers (who confessed that they tried the product despite having only mild or moderate acne problems) complained that the kit made them break out worse than before.

The Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit is easy to buy, is cheaply priced, and contains popular acne-fighting ingredients, but not all customer reviews agree that it can effectively treat acne problems.
