Why does Clean & Clear Do This To My Face?

Question

I am using Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control for about 3 weeks and just recently my face it feeling tight. I find it a discomfort because sometimes when I smile it is like my face is cracking or creating a crack. I am 15 years old and I don't want wrinkles. I use blenza clin at night to treat my mild acne. I wash my face with the Clean & Clear product in the morning then after school when I come home. At night I use pond's cold cream before I put the blenza clin then good to sleep as direction. What is wrong? My face is a bit oily on my t-zone and normal everything else if that helps. Plus is this Clean & Clear product cleaning my face or not? What would you recommend.

I know this long but I need to know. Thank you for answering.

Answer 1

Don't worry, it's not wrinkles lol.

I had it too, and I didn't use it as frequently as you did, probably because I noticed the dryness right away. Lessen the use of it like only twice a week. And if you want to treat your mild acne, I suggest a face wash that is specifically for acne.. Such as Clearasil lotion, Clean &Clear Acne Set [a pack comes in purple+silver], or a concealer from Physican's Formula that contains salayic acid, the #1 acne killing ingredient that can cover your acne and over time, get rid of it too.

I hope this helps you somewhat lol, I know this because my sister

used to break out everywhere.

Answer 2

that is what it is suppose to do

Answer 3

idk you might have a allergic reaction

Answer 4

This product is highly drying to the skin. It is not a good product even if it helps dry blemishes. I recommend a gentle face wash and a dab of lemon juice on blemishes as they occur. I also recommend an omega 3 supplement such as fish oil to promote healthy skin.  

Answer 5

It means that you are over-drying your skin.  Either try using a really intensive moisturizer after you wash, but nothing that will make it oily, or cut back to using the face wash only once a day and using a less harsh cleanser to wash it again at night.  If you find that you have some oily spots on your face, like your tzone, just get some of those oil blotting sheets from clean and clear and use them where you need it.  

Answer 6

maybe your skin is try.or you are using it to many times.

you are suppose to wash your face every other day.and every time you wash your face you have to put a toner.and remember you are suppose to  cream your face after you wash it.the more moisten (not shiny and greasy) the better.

i hoped i helped :)

and thanks for answering my question

Answer 7

thats becuase its drying out your skin real bad.

and if you continue with this face wash it will probably give you wrinkles earlier than you want.

Answer 8

I would try to do the clean and clear only once a day, at night and not washing your face when you get home from school. Too many products can really dry out your face.  Use the milder of the products in the morning so you can really clean your face. If it keeps on happening maybe try just a mild face wash for a week or two just so your skin can recover.

Answer 9

its normal when you suffr from acne and it is because of the ingredients in the face wash which will dry out oil which is the main cause of acne. you need to get yourself a good moisturizer. just apply it very light on the dry areas like nose cheeks. there are oil free moisturisers available in pharmacy like neutrogena. I wouldnt suggest neutrogena though. i had one but it never worked for me made my face greasy. i use the one from boots with tea tree oil and witch hazel. its good for me. you need to find out which one suits your skin. dont scrub the face everyday. once or twice a week should do the work. or it will irritate the skin and will cause more breakouts. ponds cold cream are for normal or dry skin. but yours must be oily as you get acne. so avoid it

Answer 10

That stuff drys out my face too. It wakes me up but dont make my face feel good. I use clearisil ultra acne wash and then biore toner, then clean and clear oxegyn moisturizer. I think that stuff really works well. Your skin kinda sounds like mine, it's pretty dry but oily where my nose and cheeks are but i get a few pimples on my chin. You should try what i have it might help!

I also saw this commercial about like what your skin ID is, you can go on the internet and do it. Maybe that will recomend some good stuff.
