SALICYLIC ACID WHAT IT IS + HOW TO BEST USE IT

The other key ingredients are:

to assist sensitive skin fight acne without irritation:
  • Acetyl Glucosamine that exfoliates skin and reduces acne scars.
  • Brown sea kelp hydrates compromised skin. It also is:
    • skin soothing.
    • antibacterial.
    • astringent.
    • able to clean pores.
    • able to fight breakouts.
To hydrate and soothe sensitive skin
  • Sea Whip is made from a sustainable soft coral.
    • It prevents skin irritation.
    • It is helpful to those with rosacea, sensitive or redness-prone skin. (1)
  • Butylene Glycol hydrates the skin.
  • Witch Hazel is a natural plant remedy. It eases inflammation and soothes sensitive skin

also:

  • Alcohol Denat is a drying agent. It delivers active ingredients quickly. But it can also irritate sensitive skin.

How to Best Use Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel

  1. Cleanse your face thoroughly before applying.
  2. Apply only a thin layer directly to the blemish or breakout-prone areas 1-2 times daily. Less is more.
  3. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
  4. Can be used under makeup or sunscreen. But oily products can dissolve the gel.

User Experience

Many users report seeing a noticeable reduction in redness and swelling within 24 hours.

  • The gel has a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that doesn’t leave a sticky residue.
  • Those with oily or combination skin types find it especially beneficial, though individuals with dry or sensitive skin may experience initial irritation or flaking.
  • With consistent use, it helps keep breakouts at bay and improves overall skin clarity.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Cystic acne is difficult to treat on sensitive skin because most ingredients that treat adult acne are harsh.

The combination of ingredients in this gel works well to target the acne yet minimize the impact on my sensitive skin. I think the Sea Whip extract makes a big difference to help me tolerate acne treatment.

A disadvantage of Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel is it is a small bottle for the price. It is more of an investment compared to some acne treatments. I only tried it because other adult acne products failed. But I am glad I did try it because it works so well.

  • If your skin is not sensitive, or other salicylic acids have not failed you, there are most cost-effective options.
  • But if the standard treatments don’t work for you, Clinique offers a solid choice. It is a small bottle but you don’t need much.

Similar Acne Products to Consider

  • GENTLE: Paula’s Choice CLEAR Acne Spot Treatment. It also uses salicylic acid but in a more gentle, soothing formula.
  • AGGRESSIVE: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel: has benzoyl peroxide for severe breakouts.
  • BUDGET-FRIENDLY: The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution: A basic but effective formula with twice the Salicylic. It is best for oily and blemish-prone skin.
  • NATURAL, CLEAN BEAUTY: Acne Slayer to treat mild acne with no chemicals.
  • Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads improves moderate-to-severe acne. It uses Nitric Oxide, Salicylic, and Mandelic Acids.
  • Keeva Organic Acne Treatment Cream uses Tea Tree Oil and Salicylic Acid to treat cystic, hormonal, and bacterial based acne.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does it take to see results with Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel?

Many users report visible reduction in pimple size and redness within 24-48 hours.

However, results may vary depending on skin type and severity of acne. For best results, use consistently over several days.

Can I use it with other acne products?

Yes, but with caution.

  • Avoid using other products with strong active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or retinoids simultaneously. These can cause dryness or irritation.
  • Always patch test new combinations.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

The gel is fragrance-free and allergy-tested. But it does contain alcohol, which may irritate sensitive skin. Start with one application per day and moisturize well to minimize side effects.

Can I wear makeup over it?

Yes. The gel absorbs quickly and leaves no residue.

It is suitable under makeup or sunscreen. Just allow it to dry completely before applying other products.

Is Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel suitable for body acne?

Yes. While it’s primarily formulated for facial use, it can be applied to body acne on areas like the back, shoulders, or chest. Be mindful of irritation, especially on dry or sensitive skin areas.

Final Thoughts

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel is an effective acne treatment.

  • It delivers quick results for mild to moderate acne.
  • It is a fast-drying, oil-free formula.
  • This is a flake-free gel that dries down with no residue.
  • It is fragrance-free and has no smell.
  • This formula is best suited for those with oily or combination skin types.

However, individuals with sensitive skin may need to proceed with caution due to the presence of alcohol.

We find it exceptionally effective on cystic acne.

If you’re looking for a reliable, dermatologist-backed spot treatment, this gel is well worth considering.

Style Chicks Favorite Things: reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment

· 10 Comments

Back in May 2017, we reviewed the reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment device, a home light therapy device for the treatment of acne. It has continued to be one of our personal favorite skincare devices for reducing and preventing acne. 

In case you didn’t catch it the first time, we wanted to bring you our review of this astounding device that delivers medi-spa level results in the convenience of your own home. We also have added a few tips we picked up in the time we have been using it!

So let’s get to it!

Thought acne was over now that you’re over 21? Think again.  Adult acne plagues both men and women. Light therapy is an effective acne treatment. Non-invasive and pain-free, light therapy is available in spas and dermatologist offices. Now it is also available in cost-effective devices for at-home use. But not all at-home light therapy devices are created equal. So we’re excited to find the highly effective, FDA-cleared, medical-grade reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment device.

ACNE CAN OCCUR AT ANY AGE

Teenage skin can bounce back from the drying effect of acne medications. But as an adult, battling acne and aging at the same time is daunting. What is worse, the topical products that worked in your teens aren’t even that effective on adult acne.

WHAT MAKES THE REVIVE LIGHT THERAPY CLINICAL -ACNE TREATMENT DEVICE SUPERIOR TO OTHER AT-HOME DEVICES?

reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment is a superior LED Light Therapy device. It is an FDA-cleared and OTC Class II medical-grade device. It features DPL (Deep Penetrating Light) Technology. This provides in-office quality results at home. DPL technology sets this device apart from many of the at-home use devices. DPL can get deep into the skin as an in-office treatment does.

Supported by Clinical Research

reVive is safe and effective for all skin tones. In a clinical study, 98% of users had improved acne. We liked this aspect because many skincare products cite user reports of how the users THINK they look when using the product. But reVive cites a clinical study with objective measures of efficacy for their results.

Safe for all skin tones, 98% of study participants in a clinical study demonstrated improved acne and dramatically clearer skin

WHY LIGHT THERAPY FOR ACNE

Light encourages the body to heal. LED Light Therapy studies show rapid acne reduction. Blue light eliminates the bacteria on the skin, even in deeper skin layers. Light reaches deeper than a washcloth or sonic facial cleansing brush. It’s painless with no side effects. Continue to use your regular skincare products without a conflict.

WHY REVIVE LED LIGHT THERAPY

Has your acne ever looked better after a day of sun at the beach? All light kills bacteria. But light can cause skin damage.  reVive Light Therapy Clinical – Acne Treatment uses only the specific wavelength that eliminates bacteria: 415 nanometers on the blue light spectrum.

This wavelength of light attacks acne in three ways:
  1. It kills acne-causing bacteria
  2. It clears existing breakouts by starving the pimple.
  3. It prevents acne flare-ups by regulating oil production.
Studies show the precise 415 nm wavelength of light used by the reVive is safe and effective for acne treatment

This blue light leads to clear skin, often within just a few days. It also reduces redness and inflammation. This makes acne less noticeable and easier to conceal with makeup. Safe for all skin tones, it will not alter the skin color. It is safe for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate topical acne treatments.

It doesn’t dry the skin like a topical cream. And bonus: the light enhances collagen production.

Groundbreaking Acne-Treating Ingredients: Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads

· 6 Comments

Acne is the most common reason to see a dermatologist (1). Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads treat acne quickly without undue irritation. Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within DAYS. Read how Neutralyze uses Nitric Oxide, Salicylic, and Mandelic Acids to treat acne without excess irritation.

Neutralyze Exfolating Pads

WHY USE AN ACNE FORMULATION

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads for moderate to severe acne

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads for moderate to severe acne

Many acne products are too harsh for sensitive skin. Skin conditions like eczema and rosacea limit acne treatment options. Acne treatments can make wrinkles and dry skin look worse.

WHAT MAKES NEUTRALYZE SPECIAL?

Neutralyze combines powerful ingredients for effective acne treatment. It also treats eczema, rosacea, and other skin conditions. It works in days, even on severe acne. There is little to no irritation.

NEUTRALYZE & NITRIC OXIDE

Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. It is a new acne treatment ingredient. Nitric oxide is an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial that reduces sebum. (2) Nitric Oxide has only been available for acne by prescription.

Textured pads

Textured pads contain acne treating Nitric oxide

  • Neutralyze combines Nitric Oxide with two effective acne treatment ingredients. It treats moderate-to-severe acne without irritation.
  • Neutralyze fades acne scars, even dark cystic acne marks.
  • Neutralyze is gentle yet effective. Skin conditions like rosacea complicate acne treatment. Neutralyze also treats rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and keratosis pilaris (“Chicken Bump” skin).

INGREDIENT PROFILE

Neutralyze stops acne formation by combining a bHA (beta hydroxy acid) and aHA (alpha Hydroxy Acid) to completely clear pores. BHAs work from the bottom of a pimple up, AHAs work from the top layer of the skin down. This approach has been clinically proven to be highly successful in acne treatment. (3)

Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA that comes from White Willow Bark.

Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA from White Willow Bark. It treats acne and promotes collagen.

SALICYLIC ACID

Salicylic Acid is a bHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid purges clogged pores without excess drying. It clears from the bottom of the pore up. Salicylic Acid also helps build collagen to heal acne scars. Collagen production is a nice perk of an acne treatment.

Salicylic acid works better when paired with another peeling agent. A combination of salicylic and mandelic acids was shown to be especially effective on moderate acne. (4).

Neutralyze uses a 2% Salicylic Acid concentration.

Mandelic acid is a natural skincare ingredient extracted from bitter almonds

Mandelic Acid is a natural skin care ingredient extracted from bitter almonds.

MANDELIC ACID

Mandelic Acid is an aHA (alpha hydroxy acid). It gently removes bacteria-trapping dead skin. Dead skin enables acne formation. Dead skin also dulls the complexion and makes fine lines look worse.

Mandelic acid gently treats both acne and signs of skin aging. (5) It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. (6)

Neutralyze uses a 1% synthesized Mandelic Acid concentration.

NITRIC OXIDE

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads include NITROGEN BOOST SKINCARE TECHNOLOGY. Studies show Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within days.

Nitric oxide is found naturally in our bodies. It is an antimicrobial. It reduces Propioni­bacterium acnes, a key bacteria of acne formation (7). The body doesn’t build a Nitric Oxide resistance.  It remains effective for long-term acne treatment. (8)

Studies show Nitric Oxide is gentler than Retinol for treating acne. (9) Nitric Oxide works from the bottom of a pimple upwards. This treats even deep cystic acne without excess surface irritation.

Natural ingredients provide effective treatment for acne, KP, Rosacea, and Eczema

PRODUCT DESIGN & FEATURES

The sealed container holds 100 treatment pads. These pads contain the Neutralyze acne-fighting solution. The treatment pad has a dual exfoliating textured surface. The pads are tear resistant. There are no loose fibers.

A useful feature is the easy-to-grab “pickup-notch” to grab only one pad at a time. No wasted or contaminated pads.

MY EXPERIENCE

I use one pad a day, two if I am experiencing breakouts

I use one pad a day, two during breakouts

Use one pad per time, one to three times a day. I started with once a day and worked up to two as needed for breakouts.

Since pads are dual-sided, I use one side of the pad on my whole face.

Each container holds 100 pads

Each container holds 100 pads. Use up to three a day.

Then I use the other side and pay special attention to problem areas. These areas include the blackheads on my nose, and whiteheads on my cheek, and some cystic acne scar marks.

On the first day, acne seemed less swollen and angry.

  • FEEL: My skin does not feel dry or irritated even with daily use. It does not sting or burn. The scent is nominal and dries down. I apply my standard moisturizers and products after a few minutes.
  • Textured surface for exfoliation without scrubbing

    Textured surface for exfoliation without scrubbing

    USE: The pad doesn’t tear apart during use like some treatment pads. One pad is enough to treat my face.

The texture of the pad can provide additional exfoliation, but I didn’t find it necessary to scrub.

RESULTS

We found Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads to be powerful yet gentle in acne treatment.

I also like the light mandelic acid peel effect on the rest of my face. I am not irritated or peeling but my skin remains smooth and nicely exfoliated. After about a week of daily Neutralyze use, my skin had a nice glow to it. A nice acne treatment benefit!

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads contain natural yet effective ingredients safe for even sensitive skin types

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads contain natural yet effective ingredients safe for sensitive skin types

I’ve used Salicylic Acid on blackheads before. But some stubborn blackheads around my nose weren’t budging. The Neutralyze combination of three ingredients seems to work for me. The blackheads are loosening up, reducing and exfoliating away. I don’t have any active cystic acne pimples, and my older acne scars seem clearer.

I’m also impressed by how Neutralyze clears up the KP (Chicken Bumps) on my upper arms. The skin is clear and soft. This is a very nice bonus, and for a KP treatment, you can’t beat the price of Neutralyze.

One pad a day keeps pores clear and provides a mild daily exfoliation for brighter skin
