CLEAR 3-Piece Acne Kit, Includes Daily Cleanser, 2% Salicylic Acid Exfoliant & Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment, Prevents & Treats Mild to Severe Acne & Breakouts, Fragrance-Free, Set of 3

I’ve always dealt with Rosacea for as long as I can remember. And I’ve noticed over the last few years how I’ve had bumps under my skin and uneven skin. You could really tell when I wore makeup, but when I didn’t the redness in my cheeks always bothered me. And my breakouts had gotten worse with the AZ heat. I read good things about this product but started with the regular strength first as reviews said the extra strength can be a lot. I used the regular strength for just about 2 months 7/25-9/20(I didn’t take any progress photos of course). But I could see the small bumps under my skin and unevenness slowly go away and get better. Not 100% but still noticeable to myself. But unfortunately didn’t do much for my redness. So when I ran out of the small version, I decided to try the extra strength given the review warnings. So far, I’ve noticed a difference in my redness and big difference in the amount of the small bumps around my jawline. Pretty much disappeared within a week of using the extra strength. It can be drying at times so I just use a moisturizer after the last step. And always sure to use a 60% SPF moisturizer in the am. I have noticed however that my skin is getting oily easier with these products, compared to a typically normal to dry skin. Which I don’t think is terrible except when my makeup gets oily midday. Overall pretty satisfied with the results I’ve seen in about 2 months. Excited to see how much more it’ll work with the next few weeks.

I have had a battle with my skin since I was 12. 23 years of my life. I use this once a day before bed. It does sting and burn, however my skin is so much better! Not only is my acne almost gone after 2 weeks, but the texture and pores are smoother, and overall redness is gone! I wish I had before and after. This is incredibly effective, as this was going to my last attempt before going back to the doctor. The price is high, however it is worth the cost and the bottles last. I’d suggest starting with every other day of use once a day; and working your way up. I do the 3 steps, and then use a cooling face mask (like one I keep in the freezer and reuse). Before bed I do Vaseline on my t-zone and nose and across cheeks and that has addressed any dryness I get, which has been minimal. Love this product!

After hours upon hours and days upon days, I read reviews I did my research. This was the product I had high hopes for. I was so excited to finally get to use these three products. Eat at I wasn’t even close to how I felt. I even hyped it up my fiancé. Anyways, after using it burned my face so bad, the stinging wouldn’t go away. I had to wash it off but it was still in my skin. I was on the verge of tears. Anything that I applied afterwards burned like hell which normally it doesn’t. Over 24 hours later my face still hurts. It’s actually worse cause now it’s extremely dry to the point where it feels like my skin is cracking open. It wasn’t this dry before. I took the quiz, I did my research, wasted hours for nothing but to be let down ! I just want to hide under a rock and cry. I’m very disappointed. I wish it would have at least made my skin feel clean. Imma go sulk now.

I have tried EVERYTHING for my acne. EVERYTHING. Nuetrogena, La Roche-Posay, Differin Gel, Alba Botanica's acne dote, random stuff from the store, a mix of cetiphil soap and hibbacleanse (is that how you spell it?), and even nothing at all. Everything either gave me a permanent sunburn, made my skin peel/flake, or gave me more acne. Ever since I was 12 years old, I've been searching and searching for the right product. I think this is it. I ordered the regular strength travel size, and I love it. The first thing you will notice about Paula's Choice trial size is that it is, well, tiny. The bottles are VERY small. But don't let that get you down. I found that the small size is actually helpful, because it helps you conserve the product and not use too much, which could cause irritation. Tip: The instructions on the bottle may not always be the instructions for your skin. What I mean by this is that sometimes we all can be very tempted to follow the "use one to three times a day" instructions the brand gives us, though our skin is individual and unique and may require more or less, depending on skin sensitivity, severity of acne, etc. I started using the cleanser in the evening, then I washed with a normal cleanser the next morning, and then I used the cleanser, toner, and treatment, that evening. The next day, I started using the cleanser and toner in the morning and all three of them at night. That is what I have been doing for the past 3 weeks, and there is still about 1-2 weeks left I think in the bottles! The next thing I want to say is IT DOES NOT WORK MIRACLES! It's not going to just magically clear up your acne overnight. it's going to take time, and you're going to have to have some patience. I've been using it for three weeks and have seen some great improvement! But the first 1-4 days I didn't see much of a difference at all. I have really, really bad acne on the sides of my face and on my chin/jaw area. I get pimples a lot on my cheeks and forehead too, but the chin/jaw and sides of my face near my ears has the worst acne; with bright, big, red and very painful pimples. This acne treatment really helped prevent new pimples from forming, it made the existing ones smaller and less painful, and it makes my skin feel and look way better. I'm not really sure what the anti-redness stuff does, but the other things have helped. One last tip: Make sure you have a good face sunscreen and moisturizer before using this. Benzoyl peroxide is known to dry out your skin and make it more prone to sunburns. So, grab yourself a really great sunscreen that won't cause acne, and a moisturizer that is you a rich, and non-greasy. I use Alba Botanica's aloe and green tea moisturizer, and it is absolutely perfect with this product. Bottom Line: Get your skin used to this treatment before you use it full-on, have patience, and team it with good moisture and sun protection! I totally recommend this product, so if you're still on the fence, GET IT! The trial size is very low-commitment, and won't make your acne worse, so there's really no reason NOT to try this! Hope your story is as happy as mine! :)

This set is a winter staple for me, especially with combination skin that leans dry in colder months. It effectively keeps breakouts under control without over-drying or irritating my skin. The products work well together to maintain clarity while still feeling gentle and balanced. My skin stays calm, clear, and more even when I use this consistently, which is not always easy to find in acne-focused routines during winter. If you have combination skin and struggle with breakouts in the dry season, this is a reliable, well-formulated set.

Very good for acne
