7 day Challenge for Clean&Clear

In a previous post I blogged about my disappointment with Witch blemish stick, though a lovely fellow blogger commented on how great she found the product. It made me ponder about our different opinions and finally decide that I would venture out to find a blemish control product as good for me as Witch Stick was for her.

I chose Clean and Clear to try first. I decided to use both their spot treatment gel and their Dual Action Oil Free moisturising cream for full blemish coverage. I gave the products 7 days, with consistent use as per the instructions, to give visible results.

Look, Feel and Application

Clean and Clear have been around for ages and have a good rep I think. They’re packaging isn’t cute or girlie; its blues and silver tones say this is a serious product which I hoped would provide serious results! Both the gel and moisturiser are lovely and smooth to apply, odourless and fab for sensitive skin. They give a tingly fresh feeling on application.

Day 4 Results

After day 4 I had most definitely noticed a change. Boyf had even commented too which is a good sign. My skin wasn’t half as blotchy and, because I was conscious of helping my blemishes clear up I made a point of not touching my face. This made me realise how much I touch my face at work! I’d also not had any other break outs which I think was key. The precision gel was dealing with the current blemishes whilst the moisturiser kept new ones at bay.

Day 7 Results

After seven days my skin had actually started to slip back and I had a couple of blemishes coming through. However, overall I was shocked at how fast I had noticed results. I think using the moisturiser and gel treatment together really helped and my skin was benefiting. 

Since the 7 days have ended I've kept using both Clean&Clear products and I've noticed my skin has been consistantly clearer. I'd definitely recommend Clean&Clear products in the future.

Witch Stick Review

I've never been a great believer in spot cures, It's ashame though as I wish they worked wonders! With the lack of sun, I think my skin is feeling sorry for itself and I'm in need of a good spot cure indeed. I'd previously tried the Witch Blemish Control and Spot Prevention Stick.

The instructions read to dab on as much as needed when a spot starts to appear. It says that the Stick helps break down excess oils and fights the bacteria that cause spots. The stick itself is very much like a large lip or blusher stick but in a blue colour. To get more of the stick you push up underneath and pop a bit more out of the top.

I felt that the stick did help clean my face of bacteria. I felt this because it left the skin it was dabbed onto tight and dry which perhaps isn't the best feeling. I didn't notice any fantastic results unfortunately and, like most other spot prevention products, it just helped make me feel a bit better as I was doing something about my blemishes. The other annoying thing was that the stick would stick to the top of the lid as you can see in the photo above. Too Annoying!!

Sadly just another blemish product that promises the world and delivers very little :( Does anyone have a product they swear by? I'd love to try it!
