Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Astringent

For many years I have used Clean & Clear's Cleansing Lotion for sensitive skin as part of my daily routine and I guess I'd just got into a rut. It had always been fairly effective and they recently even improved the fragrance, which was nice. However, on my recent trip to the chemist I encounterd Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser. Now Blackheads are a bit of a taboo subject and noone really wants to admit to getting them, but recently I have had one or two and I just didn't know how to deal with them. At £3.99 the cleanser was slightly more expensive than my usual purchase, but I ... more

My skin has always been a major problem for me, being sensitive and greasy at the same time, and prone to spots and other imperfections. But out of all of the problems with my skin, blackheads have to be the thing I hate the most. I have always had more than my fair share of blackheads, especially on my nose, chin, and forehead, and have become increasingly paranoid about them over the years. I mean let’s face it, they look pretty disgusting to say the least, and it’s the last thing you want to see staring back at you when you look in the mirror. And not only do they look ... more

I have used Clean and Clear faithfully for about 5 years now and I have had very few skin issues except I have always had a problem with dirty pores on my nose – until now. ~~~ The Product ~~~ This Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Astringent contains 1% Salicylic Acid and is designed to help treat and prevent blackheads in the treatment of acne.

Excess dirt left behind after cleansing is removed. The alcohol content is quite high ... more

It's probably obvious by my recent reviews that I’m having major problems with my skin at the minute. Much as I love my dermalogica stuff, it's too expensive for use all the time, so I was looking for cheaper alternatives. After reading some really good reviews about this, I was intrigued, & went to buy some. I was then stopped by boyf, who had a bottle of this, unused, & gave it to me, so technically, this cost me nothing! The bottle is eye catching amongst the other similar products on the market due to its deep blue/purpley colour, and it also stands out on my dressing table. I use ... more

I was quite late in my teens when I first started to develop problem skin, mainly in the form of blackheads and whiteheads. Having thought I was going to make it through puberty with clear skin, this annoyed me no end and I quickly found myself trying a whole variety of different products to help sort out my skin. The first time I tried Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser was about a year ago, and I must admit I wasn't that impressed. It didn't really do anything to clear my blackheads, but it did leave my face feeling clean after using it. In my seemingly endless search for a skin regime ... more
