Clearasil Acne Fighting Facial Moisturizer- says its a moisturizer so I can use it after washing my face?

Question

Is it oil-free??? It doesn't say anywhere that it is oil-free. It only says 2% Salicylic acid acne medication
-Fights acne pimples AND nourishes dry skin

Does not say oil-free or acnedogenic or noncomodegenic.....Should I use? Any stories you have from using it??? Please help!

Answer 1

Yep, you put it on after you wash your face. I use it and it's treated me pretty well - good at moisturizing, no breakouts, though I do get the occasional stray (small) pimple or dry spot that I need to use a heavier moisturizer on.

I prefer the L'Oreal Pure Zone moisturizer, but lately it's heck to find. If you can find it though, it rocks. It's noncomodogenic, zaps zits, moisturizes, reduces redness, and basically rocks in every way you can think of (can you tell I really love it?).

If you're pretty sensitive though, you'd be better off heading to the dermatologist, as salicylic acid can irritate skin. Plus, acne is considered an infection, so your insurance will usually cover it.

Good luck! :)

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots
