CLEAR Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin

About

The Paula's Choice CLEAR Regular Strength collection is designed as a complete, two-pronged routine. BHA (2% salicylic acid) works inside the pore lining to dissolve the dead cells and sebum build-up that creates the acne environment. Benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) delivers oxygen directly into the pore creating conditions where C. acnes bacteria cannot survive. Together, these two actives target acne at the pore level and at the bacterial level simultaneously. All CLEAR products are fragrance-free, oil-free, and clinically tested to be non-irritating. Fragrance is a common source of unnecessary inflammation and inflamed, irritated skin makes acne worse, not better. Effective acne care does not have to be harsh. Is This Right for You?
