If you’ve even tripped yourself into the beauty area of a department store you know that Clinique does skincare and they rock said skincare for all ages. A new product to combat acne joins the line-up this month in the form of the Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel.

What Sephora says about Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel:

What it is:
A topical gel to clear acne and prevent future breakouts.

What it is formulated to do:
Achieve acne-clearing results comparable to the leading topical prescription. Clinique’s powerful daily treatment gel starts clearing blemishes upon application and helps prevent new ones from forming. Clearing Gel is formulated with highly effective salicylic acid to leave skin with a visibly clearer, more renewed, and smoother appearance.

Suggested Usage:
-Apply a thin layer to entire face twice a day after cleansing.
-Spot-apply if you are using another leave-on acne treatment.
-Using other topical acne drugs at the same time or right after use of this product may increase dryness or irritation of skin. If this occurs, only one medication should be used unless directed by a doctor.

Don’t let the word “Clinical” scare you. Fear not this gel. It’s actually easy to use/apply and you don’t need a medical degree to do so (as the clinical word may or may not imply). For me, gels can get drying so I generally I use products like this as a spot treatment. I found Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel to be very effective in that respect and worked quickly at clearing my blemishes (yes, I get more “blemishes” at 33 than I ever did in high school. WTF is that all about?!). Anyway, definitely repurchasing this once I run out.

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel retails for $17.00-25.00 and is available at Sephora, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Clinique.com.

As of this blog post if you purchase $25.00 online at Sephora you’ll get a sample of this for free! Use code CLINACNE.
