Clinque Acne Solutions Review
One look at the slew of anti acne preparations on the shelves of most stores should be enough to convince people that there exists a huge market for these skin care products. Choosing one from these myriad of acne products can often be overwhelming. To compound the problem a new product joins the milieu every few days touting the very same claims made by its predecessors. One such product is Clinique Acne Solutions; here is a look at what this product does, the claims made by the manufacturer, how effective it actually is and its pros and cons.
What is Clinique Acne Solutions?
A kit of anti acne products containing a cleanser, an exfoliator and a lotion, the only thing that works for Clinique Acne Solutions is the brand name of its manufacturers. Clinique is a very popular and well-acclaimed manufacturer of cosmetic products. They seem to have realized that there exists a profitable market for anti acne products and simply foundered into it with a haphazardly created and marketed product. This is apparent from the sheer lack of information on the product on the company's website. Instead, they go about touting their cosmetic products with little or no mention of the ingredients and scientific trials conducted to verify the efficacy of Clinique Acne Solutions.
According to the manufacturers, Clinique Acne Solutions offers results in just six short weeks; it helps to control the hyper secretion of skin oils and prevents the clogging of the pores. Acne causing bacteria are also destroyed and the dead skill cells peeled away to reveal a fresh and flawless complexion underneath.
What does Clinique Acne Solutions contain?
Unfortunately, Clinique fails to offer a clear list of its products. Consumers are simply expected to make do with an explanation of how the product works and make an assumption about the ingredients that it may possibly contain. They do mention Benzoyl peroxide as one of the ingredients used in the lotion that comes as a part of the anti acne kit.
It would also be safe to assume that the product also contains salicylic acid; these two are the commonest ingredients found in most anti acne preparations. They are harsh on the skin; particularly benzoyl peroxide, and help to peel away the dead skin cells, kill the bacteria and offer temporary reprieve from acne flare up. However, if you suffer from chronic and acute acne, you can be sure that the breakouts will return with a vengeance once you discontinue the use of Clinique Acne Solutions.
Although salicylic acid is known to be quite safe and does not have any serious side effects, it is more effective when used with other potent ingredients. As far as benzoyl peroxide goes, in some people it aggravates acne and causes extreme skin dryness. So, it is being gradually phased out of most anti acne preparations.
The pros
- The product is manufactured by an established brand
- Can offer quick solutions for occasional stress related break outs
The cons
- The manufacturer does not provide free samples which would prove invaluable to actually determine the efficacy of their product
- The six week cycle for getting rid of zits is slightly longer than what other manufacturers are offering
- Both benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid fail to treat the core issue that leads to acne
- Very little information is provided about the product on the company website
- No testimonials
The verdict
Clinique Acne Solutions is like any other anti acne preparation in the market, use it if you need quick relief from a zit or two; however, if you suffer from a more acute form of the condition, the product may fail dismally to yield the promised results.
