Clean & Clear Advantage Fast Clearing Spot Gel Review

  • The second you put it on, the powerful gel with breakthrough technology starts 
    to dissolve surface oil on the skin.
  • With oil out of the way the clinically proven acne medicine can then penetrate pores.
  • The medication starts to clear pimples immediately, with maximum strength
    2% Salicylic acid.
  • Pimples are reduced in size, swelling and redness, and the formula won’t 
    over-dry your skin.
  • Voila! Pimple looks better. Now get out there and have some fun!

Clean & Clear Advantage Fast Clearing Spot Gel

I saw this whole system and bought it to try it out. I don't have really bad acne but the occasional breakout means I still need to have a product that really works!

This worked for me for a while but it might be true that after a while your skin gets used to it and develops a certain tolerance to it. When I used it at first, it did help to reduce the size and redness of my pimples overnight!

One thing i didn't like about it was the packaging. I have to let it lie on its side but when you almost get to the end of the product, its really hard to get it out of the tube.

But for that price, it may still be worthwhile to try!

It works.

My skin has changed a lot since i used this product.

To be fair i must say i didnt use this product alone. What i have done, i stopped using product contain Retinol which made me crazy break out (finally i found out, still left me some scars which i hope will fade). I also use the whole Clean & Clear advantage pimple control kit. And i also apply Benzac AC 5% after i apply this C&C gel for double safety.

My skin has improved a lot now. At least i dont have to hide my face under heavy make up.

This gel works great for pimples/acne which is just forming. When i see a new bump start forming, i apply this gel and seal with Benzac AC 5% (i have both so i use them both, but you can use just the gel is fine, it also works). The bump will be disappear within 24-36 hours without any sign of exist.

For the pimples which are already forming, this gel will help the white head show up faster so its easier to pop (i always pop my pimples/acne when the white head is harder, i know its bad but i cant resist it).

It also help with inflame and redness. I found my pimples are less painful and redness when i apply this gel.

Its a clear gel consistency, the smell is not too strong and fine under make up.

Overall i quite like it. Its not 100% working within 24 hours like advertised, but it definitely works.

Wasn't impressed

This is something I've had for over a year, and used on and off. However, I'm not that thrilled with the results it gives, and I won't repurchase once I've run out.

I don't have major acne, but I do get the occasional deep pimple (the painful, cystic kind) due to hormones, etc (yay!). No matter what I do, they last for ages, are really painful, and nearly always leave a bit of redness in their wake. Hate 'em! Fortunately they're not a daily battle for me, but I do get them every now and again.

This gel treatment works well on normal breakouts in terms of drying them out and helping them to heal faster. However, I find that it usually leaves me with more redness than usual, which can take weeks or months to fade away on my skin.

In terms of the deep, cystic spots, I don't think that this does anything much for them. It definitely doesn't stop them from progressing, and again, it seems to emphasize redness.

On top of all of that, it is drying enough that I usually get some dry, flaky patches around any breakouts if I use it - and it's not fun to conceal that without it looking cakey and awful!

So, overall, not a fan. However, I still use it occasionally for a quick fix on normal breakouts if they're really bothering me. Wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for a really deep-action spot gel.

Tips: If you want to try and get rid of a cystic spot quicker than it normally heals by itself, try dabbing it with a bit of apple cider vinegar before you go to bed - that works way better in reducing the size/pain for me, and it's also a lot cheaper than this!

Wow this stuff is magic!!

I was put off by fast clearing spot gels a few years back when another company had one and was a little more expensive than this gel and did nothing, but having a pretty decent breakout and spotting this version on special as I shopped I caved and threw it into the trolley.

Design wise this is a very sleek tubed product that is in keeping with the rest of the Clean & Clear Advantage range in shades of grey and purple. The slim design means it is handy to toss into your handbag or keep on your bedside counter without taking up too much room, I did both of these as I was clearing up my outbreak.

The formula is a gloopy white creamy gel that has a sheer shimmer to it in the sunlight, but once applied to the area on your face that needs treating it rubs into nothing as it is fast absorbed into your skin. It works pretty fast too within a few hours I went from having a few very sore looking pimples to just some light bumps on the face that lost both size and painfulness. I kept using this treatment on and off for 48 hours and found that the pimples dried out and disappeared completely.

I now keep a tube on my vanity for any sudden outbreak to nip it in the butt there and then, also when I see it on special again I'm planning on getting another tube for in the handbag so I am fully prepared!!

Love it!

This is my (and my husband's) go-to item for clearing pimples. It works fast to reduce pimple size and redness, especially those painful, pus-filled ones (yuck!).

My husband is one of those people who can't resist popping pimples and he ends up with red, painful spots. Once he started using this gel, he has reduced his habit (not completely though...men!) a lot and has much better skin.

The gel does dry out the skin a bit, but that's what I would expect from a spot treatment anyway. It can smell quite strong at first but I got used to it.

I always carry it with me when I travel, just in case! The compact size makes it easy to fit in any makeup or toiletry bag. I love the nozzle tip as it makes it easy to control how much product to squeeze out.

Tips: Apply a thicker coating at night before bed and apply a light layer before moisturising in the morning for faster results.

Clean & Clear Advantage Fast Clearing Spot Gel

I actually bought this whole range in a kit for $20 last year as i was new to facial wash, etc. This is been the first spot treatment for acne that i used and i have found that its amazing. I have found that this really helped to reduce the redness on my nose and also elimanate my pores. This is also great for using on your trouble zones which for me is my chin and i found the results overnight were amazing. Will definitely purchase again.

No longer have the need for this.

I was using this a long time ago when I was having breakouts due to stress and had oily skin.

My skin is currently quite dry - so I wouldn't use it in its dry condition but I would if my skin was prone to oiliness.

This definitely helped me deal with breakouts - the liquid feels like it dries the spots, which is helpful for reducing redness and making them shrink and disappear.

I was using this as well as the toner and the cleanser and I found that this was the one product I liked the best out of that range.

This comes in a deceptively small squeezy tube. At first I was thinking I had gotten ripped off due to the size of this (I got this as part of a kit), but you really only need a small amount. The product itself is a gel kind of substance that applies and dries clear.

It does feel a little drying on your skin so I wouldn't go putting this all over your face - just stick to where the breakouts are.

For anyone that has oily skin and is prone to breakouts, I recommend using this as it definitely helped my pimples go away.

Tips: If you don't have any breakout fighting products, toothpaste applied directly to the breakouts overnight dries them up and helps reduce redness and swelling :)

Fast Clearing!

I tried this with the entire range of Clean and Clear Advantage products and this is the only one that worked for me, and in my opinion really lived up to it's claims.

It comes in quite a small tube, but as you only need to use a small amount it does last quite some time. The thing that I didn't like about the tube though was that I found I often ended up squeezing far too much gel out so a lot of product was wasted.

The gel itself does smell a tad chemically, but that's to be expected from something that has 2% salicylic acid and it's not too overpowering. The gel dries very quickly so I applied a small amount to spots after using the Clean & Clear toner and before moisturising so that my skin would get the full effect of it.

Although blemishes didn't vanish overnight, I did find this treatment was incredibly effective in treating my pimples over a few days. I think it's fantastic value for an acne treatment product at such a low price and would recommend this for anyone with acne-prone skin.

Tips: Be careful as you squeeze the tube to avoid wasting product.

Clean & clear

This spot gel was one of the first products I had used to try and help me with my skin problems. I purchased this in the pack with the toner and moisturizer etc and by itself. It really helped me when I would have big spots that were really sore and REALLY red. I found that after cleaning my face and going through the steps this helped dramatically. The spot would be reduced in size and colour the next day.

Tips: Definitely worth a try if you have problem skin

Wasn't effective

I didn't find this pimple cream to be effective at all. I didn't really notice any difference to my pimples, overtime the size of my pimple eventually reduced as it dried up, but I found that this spot treatment didn't speed up the healing process. I didn't notice any change in the redness of my pimples either. I used this cream morning and night, but still didn't get the results that I was expecting.

The texture is this cream is gel like. The tiny nozzle makes it easy to squeeze out the right amount of product. It may seem like a small tube but there is really a lot of product in this tube, so it will definitely last you ages.

Overall, I was very disappointed that this product didn't work for me, and I have started using a different spot treatment. Obviously this didn't work for my skin, but judging by the other reviews it might be worth giving it a go if you can get it on sale.
