Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Very drying, doesn't prevent blemishes.

I brought clean and clear foundation to use along with the clean and clear daily face wash. I have combination, spot-prone skin & needed a product that would mousturise,and prevent blemishes, which this product promised to do.
Firstly, this mousturiser can be brought from most chemists or supermarkets. It comes in a squeezy white/purple plastic tube and looks very 'teenagery' and basic. It costs around three pounds for a 100ml tube.
After washing my face, I used a small ammount of this product and massaged it into my face. The smell isn't too bad - quite medicinal, and the cream is a whitish color.
Immediatly after using this, my face felt quite tingly and itchy (probably due to the alcohol and salcyic acid in the product)
5 minutes later, my skin felt very dry and tight, as though I hadn't used mousturiser atall.
After about a week of using this product twice a day, my skin was very dry and sore, although my spots seemed to be just as bad.
Overall, I wouldn't reccomend this to people with only mild skin problems, as it's just too strong and doesn't mousturise enough.

Summary: Give it a miss.
