Review: Clear Proof Acne Treatment System by Mary Kay

           Clear Proof Acne Treatment System

Today I am posting my thoughts on the Clear Proof Acne Treatment System by Mary Kay. These products were sent to me by Influenster, complimentary for review. My daughter was the subject of this review because of her acne problem. These thoughts and opinions are our own and were not swayed in any way by Influenster or Mary Kay! So let's get into the review, shall we?!

Step 1: Clarifying cleansing gel acne medication with 2% salicylic acid. The product is suitable for sensitive skin, is oil and fragrance free, and is non-comedogenic. The product applied smoothly and provided a slight lather to ensure a cleanse occurred. My daughter had no complaints with this product.

Step 2: Blemish control toner acne medication with 2% salicylic acid. This product is fragrance free, clinically tested for allergy, and is also non-comedogenic. This product reduces the number of blackheads and acne pimples and helps prevent new ones. My daughter applies this with a cotton ball. It goes on easy and she has not complained about the toner bothering her skin. The directions say to apply one to three times a day. She has been using the product for a few weeks now, but only applies once a day.

Step 3: Acne treatment gel acne medication with 5% benzyl peroxide. This product should be used to cover the entire affected area. My daughters worst acne spots are her nose, forehead, and her cheeks. The recommendation is to start with one application per day because of the possibility of excessive drying. The application can gradually be increased to two to three times daily, if needed or as directed by a physician. My daughter only applies this product to her acne prone areas as mentioned above.

Step 4: Oil free moisturizer for acne prone skin. This product is suitable for sensitive and acne prone skin, is non-comedogenic, and is clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy. The directions say to smooth in a clean face and neck using upward strokes. No further explanation needed!

Before photo:

So far, this product has worked effectively for my daughter, who had to be prescribed with a facial cream and daily acne pill. As part of trying this treatment system, my daughter stopped using the cream and the acne pill so that we could compare the results. As you can see in the before picture, she was using the cream and taking the acne pill in the evening, before bed time.

After Photo:

In the after photo, she was only using the Clear Proof system by Mary Kay for a couple of weeks. I usually require her to use the system before bed time because we are always in a hurry in the morning, but if she forgets, she uses it the next morning. I must say, we are very happy with the results.

****again, these products were received complimentary from Influenster for review.
