User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product approved by fda
Answer:	It is but the FDA does warn against the use of certain otc topical acne treatments, Clean & Clear included, as there have been very rare occurrences of hypersensitivity reactions. However I've been using it for 4 years and I have never had a negative reaction.
Question:	Can it help with black/white heads
Answer:	I actually did not try myself so I don't know the answer to whitle/black heads. It does well on controling acne from redness and breaking. I use it for spot treatment on ones that's popped out.
Question:	Does this product dry clear and invisible so no one can tell i have it on
Answer:	Yes it's clear
Question:	I'm 60+ with "mature" (old) dry skin but also blackheads from sunscreen use. Have other elders tried this, will it dry up/wrinkle my skin even more
Answer:	This product contains Salicylic Acid, so by default it will involve some surface skin drying, this is just a drawback of the ingredient. If you are looking to address acne (blackhead, whitehead) without skin drying, you should try BumpKilla. It will do what you need without drying your skin. Good luck.

Salicylic Acid

If you are dealing with an acne breakouts, salicylic acid can be your best friend. Salicylic acid is a mild acid that works to exfoliate the skin to encourage dead skin cells to shed so they don't build up and clog pores. Using salicylic acid can help treat the early signs of breakouts: whiteheads, blackheads, and oily skin.

Myth: Popping a Pimple Will Help It Go Away Faster

Popping pimples can have serious consequences. When you squeeze a pimple, the infection can be pushed even deeper into your skin, causing the pimple to get redder, or even bigger, increasing your risk of acne scarring. It is better to leave your blemish untouched and let it disappear on its own than pop it. Or try treating it with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid spot treatment, like Clean & Clear advantage Acne Spot Treatment.

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a guarentee
Answer:	Hi Maxx! While we do not offer a guarantee on this product as results may vary, we can say that in clinical studies, Differin Gel provided nearly a 60% average reduction in acne lesions after 12 weeks which continues to improve with further use. It is also the first multi‐benefit dermatologist recommended retinoid available without a prescription and the newest advancement and ingredient in the OTC acne category in over 30 years! Let us know what you experience with the product as we would love to hear your results!
Question:	While using this product is it okay to use face masks as well? such as aztec secret indian healing clay
Answer:	Normally I love the Aztec clay (I like to mix it with honey) but it dried out my skin while using the differin. My skin is always on the dry side though, so if your skin is oily it may not bother you. You could even skip the differin for the day just in case.
Question:	Can this be used for aging skin
Answer:	According to a dermatologist-Differin is a fantastic anti-aging product as it stimulates collagen production by cells in our dermis (the deeper layer of the skin),” "This is what helps with fine lines and overall skin thickness." ... It's also the same ingredient that helps improve skin discoloration, texture and tone. It can take anywhere from 3-12 months to see improvement, but I can tell you it helped me immensely. Lightened my dark brown spots and smoothed my fine lines. It took about 3 months of every day usage to see results
Question:	Should the package be saftey sealed
Answer:	Hi Kysha! Your product’s tube should definitely be sealed upon purchase. If it’s not, please reach out to [email protected] with the lot number (found on the bottom of the package), as well as the purchase location.

Differin Gel

Differin contains the first OTC Rx-strength acne-fighting retinoid. Retinoids play a crucial role in the treatment of acne by regulating skin cell turnover & reducing inflammation deep in the skin to clear & prevent pimples. What makes the retinoid in Differin (Adapalene) so cool is that it’s gentler on your skin, while still effective — that means you get the clearer skin you want without having to do things like completely avoid sunlight forever!

Beauty Favorite

In 2020 we won an Allure Best Of Beauty award, and in 2018 we won a Glamour Beauty Award. So we’re kind of a big deal.

Trust the process

This stuff isn’t like the other OTC products you’ve tried. There’s no true magic wand to get rid of a bad breakout, but Differin Gel renews skin from the inside out, resulting in clearer, smoother skin over time.

Before & after

When used every single day, Differin Gel can reduce up to 87% of acne in just 12 weeks (Cunliffe et al 1998, Galderma Laboratories). That’s about the time it would take to leisurely binge-watch your favorite old TV series.

Product features

MARIO BADESCU DRYING LOTION

This is the original, award-winning on-the-spot solution. Renowned for its ability to help dry up surface blemishes overnight, our iconic Drying Lotion continues to reign as a best-selling favorite amongst beauty editors, celebrities, and professionals worldwide. This fast-acting, effective bi-phase spot treatment is specially formulated with Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Calamine and Zinc Oxide to help draw impurities from the skin and target pesky problems while you sleep.

HOW TO USE

DO NOT SHAKE THE BOTTLE. Before bed (after cleansing and toning), dip a cotton swab into the pink sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Dab directly on the surface blemish; do not rub in. Let dry and rinse off in the morning. Do NOT use on broken skin. Do not apply to eye or lip area. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water.

You can use your Drying Lotion to target surface blemishes on the back, chest, and neck, too.

MBSKINTIP

Here’s why you don’t shake it: Drying Lotion is designed to work most effectively as a bi-phase solution. Every time you apply a pink dot to your face, each application acts like a tiny, overnight mask that gives targeted attention to the blemish. You want the product to be clay-like so that it goes on opaque and pink, completely covering the bump.

Don’t worry if you do shake it — simply set the bottle on an even, flat surface. Leave it undisturbed overnight and voilà: your Drying Lotion is settled and looking brand new.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Formulated in the 1960s by Mario Badescu himself, this iconic product is still the brand’s #1 best-selling product — loved by so many skincare junkies.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work? I have sensitive skin
Answer:	Proactiv worked very well for me. It takes time. If your skin is sensitive, start out slowly. For example, use once a day or every other day until your skin gets use to it. Always moisturize and wear sunscreen during the day.
Question:	How fast are the results
Answer:	This stuff is amazing! It’s been about 3 years now since I first started using proactiv. I had spent a lot of my money on products that weren’t working super expensive ones too that only gave me more severe acne. I gave into this and started seeing results within just a couple of weeks. I had cystic acne on my cheeks. I haven’t had severe breakouts since I started my proactiv journey. Now I just get hormonal breakouts or stress breakouts and always have some on hand in case of this. My acne is gone within just a few days.
Question:	Is this good at all? I see review of it being very small, also does it remove dark spots
Answer:	It does not remove dark spots- the FAQ on their website also states this. It does look like they're travel-sized bottles, but I have no experience with purchasing directly from Proactive, so I'm not sure what is considered "regular" size. I did not have a good experience with it, but I know a few people that love it.
Question:	Is this extremely drying? i have hormonal acne from pcos. wondering if anyone else has had any success with this for pcos
Answer:	I'm pretty sure i have pcos as well. I haven't been diagnosed yet because I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet it's A 2 month waiting period. But I'm having all of a sudden acne as well on the face. I've been subscribe medication "spironolactone " generic for Aldactone, and I'm wondering if this medication is causing the acne on my face. Wondering if you are on this med. I tried proactive and it has dried my face out really bad.

It can cause skin irritation in those most sensitive to it."

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the hot spot totally gone? Or just tempurary itchy release
Answer:	Calms the itch, so if he doesn't constantly lick it, the hot spots will clear up. In the summer, I keep him shaved bald, just can't let him get sunburned, but that keeps the hot spots from him all spring, summer and fall. That was the vet's recommendation, keep him shaved.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Hello Edo. All our products are made in the US factory located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I hope this helps.
Question:	Does it burn when sprayed
Answer:	No burning, nothing in it will cause burning. It has lidocaine which will actually numb the area a little. Most animals don't like being sprayed, so apply it with cotton ball if your furry friend doesn't like being sprayed.
Question:	Can anyone tell me the strength of the Hydrocortisone in this product. This si generally shown as a percentage, as in Hydrocortisone
Answer:	Hello Patricia, thank you for your question. The percentage of Hydrocortisone is 0.2% in this product. The percentage of Lidocaine is 0.5%. We are currently working on new product labels where it will be more clear. I hope this helps.
