ClearPores Facial System Review

Rated: 88 out of 100
by Product-Critic.com

ClearPores is an entire line of products designed to minimize acne outbreaks. The basic ClearPores package includes a cleanser, herbal supplement and face cream. Other products are available but this ClearPores package is the minimum as recommended by the manufacturer.

Because the ClearPores system contains three different products, we will discuss them individually.

ClearPores Deep Facial Wash

A water-based, oil-free formula applied morning and night. The active ingredient is Salicylic Acid (2%), a common ingredient in topical anti-acne preparations. The ClearPores cleanser is light and gently yet effective.

ClearPores Herbal Supplement

The herbs in this 100% natural supplement fight acne by strengthening the skin and reducing inflammation. Ingredients include Dandelion Root, Aloe Vera, Yellow Dock, Echinacea Purpurea (Purple Coneflower), Burdock Root, Red Clover, Sarsaparilla Root, Licorice Root, Kelp, Cayenne.

ClearPores Facial Protection Cream

A water-based, oil-free light lotion applied morning and night. ClearPores lotion's active ingredient is Salicylic Acid (2%) - exactly the same ingredient and concentration as ClearPores cleanser. The only difference is, ClearPores lotion is intended to be applied to the skin and left there, rather than rinsed away. ClearPores contains just the right amount of Salicylic Acid. Although, Salicylic Acid is a great anti-acne ingredient too much of a good thing can be bad. ClearPores has found a great balance by testing what concentrations of ingredients were optimal for acne prevention and removal. This formula will not irritate or dry your skin but it will remove your acne.

The ClearPores system's active ingredient, Salicylic Acid (2%), is a commonly-used topical treatment for mild acne. Salicylic Acid is available in prescription strengths but higher concentrations do not guarantee results. Salicylic Acid when dosed correctly has the following effects:

  • Antiseptic - it reduces the number of bacteria on the surface of the skin.
  • Oxidizing agent - it reduces the number of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) through oxidation
  • Anti-inflammatory - it reduces swelling, redness and inflammation

Based on ClearPores comprehensive approach to getting rid of acne and preventing acne, we rate Clear Pores Facial System a Must Buy
