User questions & answers

Question:	What is the percent of Glycolic Acid in this product
Answer:	I would contact the company directly for this information.
Question:	What percentage of the formula is salicylic acid
Answer:	I would contact the company directly for this information.
Question:	How long should I leave this on my face before I rinse it off and put on the moisturizer
Answer:	I just wash my face under the shower, I really don’t leave it on my face.
Question:	The advance clinical website sells it for 12.95. Amazon sells for $17.95. Why a big price difference for same size
Answer:	Thank you for your valid question. Amazon pricing is very complex and dynamic. In addition to the cost of the goods being sold, there are multiple other costs such as shipping and handling charges, shipping methods, multiple charges such as referral fees and warehouse charges, to vendors who also sell on the Amazon platform. As in the stock market, it is largely affected by supply and demand, and the multiple prices change rapidly on Amazon to reflect that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use as a drawing salve
Answer:	While it cleanses, it provides some drawing. Best to go with a clay product for maximum drawing of impurities recommendation is Aztec Secret Indian Deep Pore Cleansing Healing Clay
Question:	Does it have little particles to rub the skin? or just like regular cleaning foam
Answer:	No little particles. Neutrogena has a great face wash with little particles to clean pores and exfoliate. It has grapefruit in it. It's my favorite so far. This charcoal cleanser is okay-just probably not good for people with sensitive skin or open pores. It's not a foam-just gel. I think the charcoal soaked into my pores and that's what the blackheads were.
Question:	How can I travel with it
Answer:	FROM TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: Either transfer liquid from Biore bottle to a store bought bottle with a cap that can snap shut OR the cheap way is to put a sandwich bag over the top and secure it with a rubber band or ponytail.
Question:	has this helped anybody with blackhead issues
Answer:	Yes! I bought this at another retailer to give it a shot and was amazed at how well it worked. I have always had an issue with blackheads on my nose and the only success I ever had with clearing them up was with a Biore strip. However, after the FIRST night of using this cleanser, I'd say about 95% of the blackheads on my nose had disappeared. I'm really shocked that this cleanser is getting such negative reviews on here because it's been a great product for me so far.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should I use this and clearsil rapid reach wash at night or morning? I also have resurfacing retinol cerva and their wash. Any proper order or time
Answer:	Absolutely love this face wash, not harsh on my sensitive skin at all. I use to break out from all sorts of reasons, when I started using this I noticed major clear skin, I might get one here and there an use the rapid spot treatment but I use it before bed cause after a day of running around it cleans away your skin also I use in a.m to rinse any nighttime heat or oils...just a small amount and massage into your skin with warm water rinse with cold to close your pores ...love it
Question:	Can this be used on the rest of your body like arms
Answer:	I've never used on any area but the face but I don't see why not. If your facial skin isn't bothered by the product I'm gonna guess an say your arms won't be so. I would give it a try, there are lots of body washes and soaps that work, I have Male friends who have said as much things with sea salt in the body wash or soap. Or even a dab of a spot treatment that has peroxide in it. Will help with redness and dry out any imperfections...Bragg's apple cider vinegar as a toner works wonders on all skin types too. Just a few ideas to try all have had great results for me and friends. Hope that helps good luck
Question:	How long do you leave it on your face before you wash it off
Answer:	Leave it on the same as you would soap or other daily facial cleanser. I put a dab in my hand with a bit of water, then apply all over my face (avoiding eye area). I then splash on lukewarm water to rinse and pat dry. I love this product and recommend it to my friends.
Question:	Is this good for oily skin
Answer:	I love it. I do have oily skin and I do get a pimple here and there, and this stuff does help. I use it before I use my rodan and field’s regimen. Highly recommend it.

Question:	Is this a makeup remover
Answer:	No, it is cleanser to wash your face. But Olay does have good make up remover.
Question:	Hie does it Smell
Answer:	Everything smells of something. But if you mean fragrant, as in perfume-aroma, no. It smells like it looks like, silky white and nothing much at all to my nose.So this is not something I can associate a fragrance to. If looking for a word, I would probably say "neutral" . Fragrance aside, it is a match for my skin because it is mild and cleanses.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this acceptable for those with combination skin on the oilier side, acne-prone, with natural redness on cheeks below eye sockets
Answer:	I am 26 with combo skin. I was acne prone. I tried this and ever since then I have had only ONE breakout in 3 months. I just use my hands to gently wash my face 2x in the shower. I do recommend it. Doesnt irritate me at all.
Question:	Does it come out of the pump bottle as a foam, or a cream, or a gel? thank you
Answer:	It pumps out of the bottle more like a creme or thin lotion, then foams when you add water.
Question:	Is makeup remover still required to remove waterproof makeup, or is this cleanser enough
Answer:	I haven't had to use an extra product, but I don't wear a lot of heavy makeup either....it's removed mascara and eyeshadow for me just fine though. I LOVE IT!
Question:	The label says no harsh chemicals but ingredients are all chemicals. Can someone give me a breakdown on the ingredients and what they are
Answer:	You can look them individually into the ewg.org database (environmental working group) to get an idea. I consider a rating of 3 out of 10 in an ingredient acceptable for EXTERNAL usage, such as this product, but you have to decide for yourself what is acceptable** . For this product: All ingredients were rated 1-3 Except for PHENOXYETHANOL, and BHT, both of which carry a 4 out of 10 rating. BHT is dead last in the ingredient list--means the tiniest bit. They are both generally used as preservatives. Seems PHENOXYETHANOL is of concern due to some evidence somewhere of someone having allergic/irritation of eyes/lung/skin--It says this particualr rating is based on "Limited" data. **sometimes a rating concern arises NOT because of the ingredient itself, but because the ingredient COULD--or could not-- be contaminated with something by the people who make the ingredient, not the people making the product...So do you trust the product manufacturer to be careful of their sourcing? It goes to show how tough it is to really say is something a problem. Good Luck! PS, I do like the product, I have only mildly sensitive skin and I prefer this to CeraVe or Cetaphil, as it leaves the skin feeling soft not tight, but also feeling clean (sometimes you don't feel that with some cleansers, IMHO).

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this and the eau thermale avene gel nettoyant oil free cleanser
Answer:	Hello there, thank you for your inquiry. Please be advised that there are many differences between the Cleanance and the Oil Free Gel Cleanser. The biggest one is Cleanance has fragrance, and the Oil Free Gel Cleanser does not. Another big difference is the Cleanance has Castor Oil and the Oil Free Gel Cleanser, as it states in the name, is oil free. One more difference is that the Cleanance can be used on face and body and the Oil Free Gel Cleanser is solely for face use. If you need more information, please visit our website as we disclose all ingredients, information on how to use, and what the products are for. Have a great day.
