This product saved my confidence. My acne is under control and skin is not dry.

Great product! Used in conjunction with other PCA products, I`ve had amazing results!
About the time I turned 50, my oily t-zone began to get worse, which resulted in tiny bumps all over my forehead and along my hairline. Also, the sides of my chin area started to break out with little white heads that just never seemed to go away. My aesthitician said most of this was due to hormonal changes, but also my hair gel, which is a brand I`ve used for years (and note, still do).
Although I was cleansing regularly and visiting her every 6-8 weeks, we decided to try some new products. She gave me samples of Dermalogica Oil Control lotion which ironically made me oilier and more breakout prone. I don`t know why she never suggested Clearskin (she was really pushing Dermalogica products on me and there were few I found that I liked) so I ordered Clearskin on my own to save money (I had been happy with the PCA serums she had me using). Within weeks I noticed a big improvement, although not yet quite perfect.
So, a month or so later I ordered the Protecting Hydrator Cream, Apres Peel Balm and the Cleanser for oily skin (goodby Dermalogica cleanser). In under 2 weeks my forehead was totally clear, as was my chin! Currently, I get only an occasional bump now and then, and that`s usually when I get lazy with my routine and skip nightime cleansing.
Also, my husband started using Clearskin for his rosacea, and we`ve noticed his breakouts have dropped dramatically. So, on it`s own it is working well, but combined with other PCA products it is working great, which is why I gave it a 4 and not a 5.
Pros: Used in conjunction with other PCA products for oily skin, my face looks much younger and cleaner.
Cons: The only thing I don't like about it is the shiny finish which in my opinion doesn't make older women have a youthful glow. Instead it actually accentuates fine wrinkles and color imperfections and makes light reflect off it like a beacon. So I make sure after it sets in that I follow it up with a light coating of mineral makeup to give me more of a matte finish.

This is the best face lotion! It isn`t greasy at all but still leaves me feeling fresh and dewy. I`ve been using it for probably two years now and am still very satisfied. It also helps to soothe irritation!
Pros: dewy feel, high end moisturizer that doesn't break the bank
Cons: In the winter I add the PCA balm in areas that get patchy or dry.

PCA products are the best I`ve used
Pros: Phaze 18 - fragrance free, non-greasy, my skin is fresh, clean & smooth
Cons: nothing!

I love this product! I am soon to be 50 & was still getting blemishes. It drove me nuts until my cosmetologist recommended trying this. I`ve been using it for a year & my face seldom breaks out now. If it does, I add a little extra of the PCA Clearskin & the blemish is gone within a few days. I love it!

This does an excellent job of drying up just the pimples, but leaving the rest of your skin smooth and not dry and flaky. I am almost 40, but still have issues with acne and I love this product.
