When the winter season started I noticed my face was dry and I would have a little bit more acne during some weeks.  So my best friend recommended two brands, Clearasil and CeraVe, and I looked at the two brands.  I picked up two products, one from each of the brands, that worked with my skin which is sensitive and a combination of oily and dry.  Since then I have been living by these two products, I never had much acne and these products are for that but they make my face feel so clean and clear, especially during my period.  As the seasons are starting to change into spring and summer, I realized how much these two products are helping my skin.  

Clearasil Stubborn Acne Control 5 in 1 Daily Pads  

These face pads focus on blocked pores, pimple size, excess oil, acne marks, and blackheads.  For those with acne, it controls it with 2% Salicylic Acid Acne medication that cleans the skin and reduces the acne appearance on your face.  It is paraben free and great for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.  

 

I use these face pads every night, before I go to bed.  I love how after you wipe your face with it, you can see the dirt that comes off by the color of the pad not being the color white anymore.  The container has a good quantity of pads and you can take it on the go when you travel.  Plus who doesn’t like a product that could be frequently found in stores such as online, Walmart, Target, CVS, and etc.

 

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin  

 

The facial cleaner is unscented, for all skin types, for sensitive skin, and it is dermatology tested.  You can use it daily and it cleans, hydrates, and restores the protective skin barrier.  Along with removing dirt and oil while keeping your skin still tight (as it should be).  There is hyalluronic acid in it to keep the skin moisturized too.

 

I use the facial cleanser when I take a shower and sometimes I will use a face exfoliator scrub before it.  Therefore the facial cleanser can get in my skin without anything dead getting in the way.  I use about 3-4 squirts and they go a long way, there is enough product in the bottle to last a couple months.  You can also find in just about any store such as online, Walmart, Safeway, and Target.
