Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser Mask Review

[ad#Ad Block Posts]

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser Mask is a dual action product that deep cleans your pores when used as a cleanser and can also be used as a treatment mask. Right off the bat, if you have oily skin that is not oversensitive, you will probably be one of the many happy customers that I have read reviews by online in compiling this review article.

On the other hand, if your skin is dry or sensitive, you are probably best not trying it because the action of the Benzoyl Peroxide in it will dry your skin even more. It also contains menthol which some people find lovely and cooling on the skin – however some people with sensitive skins find it irritates and casuse redness. You also should not use it if you are sensitive to (or have had previous problems with), Benzoyl Peroxide.

Customer Review:-
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser Mask

“It worked for me better than proactive, but listen-up if you have DRY skin! Do not use this product I see reviews on here of people with dry skin that were not happy because it “dried ” their skin silly people this is for oily skin types if you have oily skin this is a magical mask/cleanser I have pcos a hormonal imbalance my whole life I have had terrible skin cystic acne light severe you name it I have tried everything even proactive but this stuff takes the cake I have not had a bump since I started using it!”

If you use this product, you are more likely to find that you suffer from irritation and dryness if you are already using another topical acne medication. You will also find (as with many acne treatments), that your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight and you should be sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer with a high spf whilst using Neutrogena clear pore.

Extract from customer review:-

“After switching to the clear pore cleanser, my skin has been perfect. I wake up the next morning and my skin is perfectly balanced, it’s not greasy, nor is it flaky or dry. My skin feels smooth and soft and I haven’t had a single breakout.”

The Benzoyl peroxide will kill the acne and blackhead causing bacteria right down in your pores and also help to prevent future breakouts.

Unfortunately, it also has a bleaching action on fabrics so, as with other treatments, be sure to wash the product off your face and hands thoroughly before using a towel – top tip is to change to a pure white towel when using acne treatments!

Also, beware of getting the product into your hair as it can have a lightening effect there too.

If you like the product and find you are getting great results but skin irritation is occurring, you could try using it less frequently as many users have reported excellent results with cutting down on the frequency of use. You must avoid contact with the lips and eyes and make sure that none of the product gets into your mouth. Neutrogena advise that:-

“If swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison control center right away.”

I guess only a child would swallow this product so you need to store it carefully away from the reach of children.
