Review of Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

Finding an oil free moisturizer is hard. That's why, when I saw that Clean and Clear had an oil free moisturizer I was a bit reluctant to try it. However, I decided to purchase the Clean and Clear® Dual Action Moisturizer.

Instead of accomplishing only one thing, that is, moisturizing dry skin, the Dual Action Moisturizer does something else; it treats any current pimples and helps prevent new ones from showing up, or so the label says.

The Dual Action moisturizer contains salicylic acid, which is an acne medication. It helps dry up current acne and helps treat the skin by killing off any bacteria that may be present. That bacterium is what causes acne to occur.

The directions for using this product are simple; first you must clean your face and then cover the entire affected area with a thin layer of moisturizer anywhere from one to three times a day.

I decided to try this the first day I brought it home. I automatically noticed that the lotion was considerably lighter than a lot of other face moisturizers that are on the market today. Instead of going on heavy and hard to smooth out, it goes on easily and quickly. It is absorbed by your skin quickly and does not leave behind any greasy or oily residue. Within a few days, I noticed a definite change in the appearance of my skin. It did not leave my skin oily like the other moisturizers did. In fact, I noticed a decrease in the oiliness, and a definite increase in the amount of acne I had.

The moisturizer doesn't clog pores either; therefore I had to worry less about washing my face in the morning. I could spend more time on my morning routine instead of worrying about washing my face and applying more moisturizer, I could spend my time doing other important things. Another great thing about this product isn't actually the moisturizer itself, it's the bottle. Instead of having a nozzle that you cannot close, increasing the risk of accidentally pushing it and wasting lotion, the nozzle can be closed. A quick twist closes the bottle and then you are done.

However, one thing I have noticed about this lotion is the fact that you may need to reapply lotion after a few hours. Because it isn't heavy and because it's absorbed quickly, it doesn't really keep your skin feeling soft and moisturized. You may not have to apply it to your entire face however. Just concentrate on the areas that need it the most. You don't want to over do it on moisturizer!

If you are in the market for a new moisturizer, I definitely recommend the Dual Action Moisturizer from Clean and Clear. I do not think you'll be disappointed!
