Clean & Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel

Advantages: gets to work after 4 hours, made my spots shrink, reduced redness
Disadvantages: none

...was on offer, 2 Clean & Clear productsfor £4.99 which is quite good as most of the products are over £3.00 anyway! The product itself is in a small box and when opened is a small 15ml tube. The packaging is quite nice its silvery purple with dark purple writing. It promises on the front of the package, "Reduces spots in 4 hours" brilliant. The information on the back of the packaging tells us that, "Its unique formula containing spot-fighting ingredients ...
...bacteria and effectively purifies the skin, all without irritating or over-drying" and it tells us how to use,"Apply the invisible gel directly onto the spot. Suitable to use under and over make-up, whenever needed". I have no idea where my spots started to come from on the right side of my face, grrr! I usually have quite clear skin so I am quite baffled..anyway I thought I'd give this a go! I washed my face using the Shine Control wash that I ... Read review

Advantages: Errr......none?
Disadvantages: It doesn't work!

...to choose? I spotted Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel and remembered having seen it recently advertised on TV. The advert went something like this: 2 girls talking about a party the following evening Girl 1 has a spot so says she can’t go Girl 2 introduces her to Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel Girl 1 tries Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel and wakes up in the morning with no spot Hurray she will go to the ball…happily ...
...normal cleansing regime, I applied Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel to my spot. The next morning I awoke to find (cue horror film music) my spot was still there. Neither redness nor spot size had visibly reduced overnight! How could this be? I applied Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel morning and evening (for several days) as directed (by the tube) but to no avail; my spot disappeared no quicker than it would have done on its own accord. ...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: It doesnt work

In the past i have tried many different spot creams to get rid of my spots.Which as usual didnt work.I saw the advert for this one and i was lured into the sense that it would actually work. It was very expensive but i was very eager to try it when i read "Reduces spots in 4 hours" it was on offer so i decided to give it try. The gel is clear and squeezes out so it was quite easy to use.The first time i used it i believed there was a difference ...
...when you apply it for the first couple of minutes it stings like mad. So i kept using it but none of my spots reduced in size or redness and the gel does not propably stay on the spot.The stinging was getting really bad so i stopped using it. I am very dissapointed with this spot gel which claims to "reduce spot size in 4 hours".I also spent a lot of money on this product which has been wasted and almost all of the tube left over.But however some ...

Advantages: Works a little bit
Disadvantages: Advert over exaggerates product, high price.

At first this product seems like a great solution, if you have a big noticeable spot, you can put it on, and the next day it won't be so red and noticeable. great in theory.... The first thing i noticed when using it was the smell, it smells like a cheap sparkling rosé wine. Luckily this smell fades quite soon after you rub it in. Secondly for about 10 mins after you apply it, the skin on and around the spot gets a clear plasticy sheen over it. ...
...out, as it will be even more noticeable. Does it work? - Well it does defiantley do something, at least on my skin, i guess it all varies from skin type, to spot type. When using it over night i did notice a reduction in size and redness, but it definatley didn't make the spot go away any quicker than normal. It defiantley does something, but the advert on tv totally over-exagerates it's effect, this leads to you really pretty ripped off, especially ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Actually made my spot worse!

...to erupt. The solution: Clean & Clear Advantage Quick Clear Spot Treatment Gel! Or not, as the case would be... With two days to go before my boyfriend arrived, I decided to beautify myself & blitz all the blemishes that were threatening to blossom before our holiday. I saw the television adverts lauding the benefits of this wonder-treatment & hurried out to buy it. On first glance, you don't seem to get much very for your money - just 15 ml of ...
...I had faith that a small amount would suffice. Applying the gel was easy & not particularly messy, although I would recommend washing your hands post-application. I felt some tingling after application but no real pain. The manufacturer states that the product can be applied over or under make-up, so I used it over a moisturiser, applied make-up & then set off for work. Imagine my surprise when over the course of the next two days, my previously ... Read review

Advantages: It works and lasts for a long time
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive

.... The smell's not quite as pleasant as the previous one, but the results certainly outweight this downside. Also the label has the word "Blackhead" in big bold white lettering, which isn't so attractive on my shelf, but it certainly stops them appearing in big bold spots on my face, so its a good compromise! Definatley avoid getting this near your eyes - its strong stuff and contains a lot of alcohol. Another piece of advice I'd suggest would be to team this cleanser up with Clean & Clear's Advantage Quick Clear Treatment Gel which, again, is £3-5 and therefore isn't cheap, but it certainly gets results in a short space of time. On the whole this is a good buy - its quick, effective and a bottle lasts ages. Th smell and the price aren't too attractive (at least not to me on my poor student income, or lack of), but your skin certainly will be!... Read review
