Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturiser Review

This was one of my first moisturisers I ever used, which was many years ago.

To try to tame breakouts, I started using the clean and clear set, cleanser and moisturiser. It's the perfect starter set for teenage skin. Myself and my two sisters also used this-all with good results!

The packaging is distinctive, in its white bottle and blue colours. It looks fun and funky, perfect for teenagers. It comes in a handy pump, which is convenient and hygienic.

The formula is light and feels nice on the skin. It was very effective in controlling my breakouts, and a great product for younger skin.

These days, my skin is dry and reactive, so this moisturiser isn't ideal for me. But I would definitely recommend it to those of you with teenage skin, which is prone to oiliness and breakouts.

Overall a great product at a very affordable price.

I love this moisturiser, defiantly hydrates the skin. Has a pleasant smell to it, doesn’t irritate the skin whatsoever.

The only thing is I haven’t found it helped with breakouts as such. Although I do get hormonal breakouts which maybe nothing will work ?

this is the only product i like from this brand , it has cooling feeling when i applied on face ,very soothing ,non oily at all ,it helps control the oil very well and helps a lot with reducing the acnes ,and also its good for sensitive skin .

It's just another moisturiser. Nothing to really rave about but nothing to really rant about either. It works well with my skin, in the sense that I haven't reacted to it in any way. I do find that it dries really quickly so you either have to apply it all over your face and rub it in as quickly but as gently as possible, or you need to use slightly more product so it doesn't set into your skin without rubbing it in properly.

I haven't noticed a difference acne wise. I still get the odd pimples here and there but that's just inevitable anyway.

Overall, it's a good product. But I probably wouldn't repurchase it if I had to pay full price for it.

I believe that this was my first ever moisturiser – that seems like such a long time ago now! While I wouldn’t use it now, I do think it was a decent light moisturiser that could work well for some skin types.

The recurring theme with this product seems to be simple and lightweight. The bottle is plastic and compact, and mine had a squeezy top (although I see the one in the picture has a pump, which would be more convenient). The only real cons to the packaging are that it’s quite solid opaque plastic, so it’s pretty much impossible to see how much product is left, and it can be hard get the last bits out (although if you stand the bottle upside down it usually works).

The actual moisturiser is a white lotion-consistency, and spreads out quite thinly, so a little goes a long way. I found that if I applied too much the excess moisturiser took a while to soak in, so it’s best to start off with a small amount. It has a pleasant subtle fresh scent, and didn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts.

The main reason I wouldn’t repurchase is that it really is just too lightweight for me. I have dry-combination skin, and this didn’t really help add extra moisture or prevent dry patches when my skin was quite dehydrated. If it was in good condition already it was alright, but in general I found I had to use a richer moisturiser quite often, otherwise my skin just felt dry and my makeup didn’t sit nicely on top.

This is really affordable, and I think that if you have a more oily skin-type this might actually be a great moisturiser. I also think it was a great first moisturiser to start out with, as it didn’t disturb my teen skin; however, as I said, I won’t personally be repurchasing this now that my skin has slightly different needs.

My skin is better now. Much less dry. Thanks Clean & Clear. My skin loves you. Well my face does at least.

I had a Clean and Clear kit which had a cleanser, toner, this and a spot treatment. I wasn't totally thrilled with the moisturizer. My skin did look amazing but I think that may have just been because it was the first time I'd had a set beauty routine (instead of just using a cleanser every night). I may try this again with my current skin care routine and see if it makes a difference.

I picked up this moisturizer on sale from my local supermarket, and have repurchased since, but it is quite average.

This comes in a squeeze bottle, which is average size but because you only need a small amount of product this lasts ages. The bottle sometimes squeezes out too much, so you have to be careful. This product doesn't have much scent, just a light one and definitely not overpowering at all. It isn't oily or gross, so is good for oily and acne prone skin. I wouldn't use this in winter though, my oily skin gets quite flaky so it just doesn't work. This wouldn't be the best for dry skin as it isn't the most moisturizing. I didn't find this reduced my breakouts, pimples and blackheads much which was quite disappointing.

I probably won't be buying this again, although it is OK I've found better moisturizers. I would recommend it for oily skin though, as it is good for me in summer when I'm most oily.

I LOVE this moisturizer for clearing up my blackheads, it's lightweight and not oily. It sinks into the skin nicely and doesn't leave a slimy cast over your face. It's not that great for really dry skin but acne prone skin this product is really good for. It leaves a tingling feeling whilst you're putting it on and it's amazing for clearing up blemishes and black heads.
