Do Clean and Clear/Clearasil really make your skin worse?

Question

I have heard that products like clean and clear can make you break out more. Is it really true? If so, what product should I use? Not proactive.

Answer 1

I've never heard anything bad about those products. For me plain old soap and water works with a great moisturizer. My grandmother has always used just soap and water and now she looks as if she could be my mother (my mother is 35.)

Answer 2

It made me have a breakout on my chin that I couldn't get rid of for year.

Answer 3

it made me breakout worse. and yeah i dont reccomend proactive at all either lol. i use neutrogena oil free stress acne wash and its great. get the kind with the little green beads.. its a great exfoliator!

Answer 4

i love the clean and clear product it is great idk what u hearrd but i think it is great

Answer 5

a lot of products "make you break out more"   they're supposed to do that to bring out all the dirt, then you will start seeing results.

Answer 6

i have never tried those, so i am not sure. it depends on your skin type. it may work for some people and may not work for others. its okay to give things a try.

i use AcneFree and it works very well!!! my acne is soo much better than it was before i used it.

good luck. always remember to wash your face every day especially if you wear make up, drink lots of water, and eat healthy...it helps!

Answer 7

The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple.

For acne scars and blemishes my wife lighten them up using  papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'

Answer 8

no those people who tell u this r just saying things they clear ur skin rele fast and dont harm u u can use them if u ask me they work the best : ] good luck ♥

Answer 9

It depends on your skin and how the person uses the product. If used correctly and if you bought the right type for your skin it can do wonders.

However, a person's genetic makeup plays a big role in this process since some types are very sensitive and Clean and Clear contains alcohol in some of their products.

In my point of view, Clean and Clear is excellent for my skin. It's cheap, the packaging looks good and it is very effective.

Good luck.
