Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer

Fighting acne is an up hill battle for me. Recently, my skin has been extremely oily to the point my makeup slides off my face. Not even powder foundations like Bare Essentials keeps it at bay. I was on my Sephora app when I saw this moisturizer from their 3-step Acne Solutions line. After reading the reviews I decided I would like to give this a whirl.


"The power of benzoyl peroxide to help treat existing acne and prevent future breakouts. Lightweight, medicated formula creates and invisible, breathable barrier against acne-causing agents. Controls excess oil throughout the day. Calms, soothes, reduces redness. Provides light hydration to minimize dryness and peeling. Skin feels soft, smooth, comfortable."


The consistency of this product is in between a gel and a lotion, much like the Dramatically Different Moisturizer in the gel form. It also has some sort of grainy ingredient that goes away one rubbed in. I do wish that it had a scent. I hate the "fragrance free" scent that comes along with most of their products.
This moisturizer leaves a matte finish on the skin and a slight tightened feeling. The description says that it prevents drying and peeling, but I have noticed that the areas on my cheek bones have become slightly dry after I started using this moisturizer.
I use this under my makeup and it definitely helps with the oiliness throughout the day. I don't have to touch-up with any powder during the day. And my acne has also subsided quite a bit .
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has oily, acne prone skin.
