Clinique (Estée Lauder Companies) Anti-Blemish Clinical Clearing Gel is an effective yet gentle approach for treating blemishes.
The fast-drying, oil-free formula starts working immediately to help clear blemishes and help prevent future breakouts. It contains a 4-in-1 Clearing Complex to help treat and prevent future breakouts, combining exfoliating and anti-blemish agents with sebum-controlling and anti-irritant agents. The alcohol and water base provides quick absorption, while witch hazel water helps minimise excess surface oil and tightens pores.
The brand reports that in a four week UK sensory study, 75% of women agreed that they saw fewer breakouts and visibly clearer looking skin.
Salicylic acid clears away dead surface cells that clog pores to help resolve and prevent breakouts, laminaria saccharina helps normalise the excess production of oil, while sea whip extract calms and soothes skin.
The product can be applied all over the face or used as a spot treatment and is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free. The RRP is £14 for 15ml and £20 for 30ml.
Anti-Blemish Clinical Clearing Gel is available nationwide from 21 March 2014.
