How much is too much?

24/7 Girl Vintage article



MYTH: ‘If you keep getting breakouts, double the amount of product you use until the breakouts stop.’

BUSTED: Products that are developed to help clear up breakouts contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, which are great for getting rid of pimples, but can also be drying on your skin. So using too much product may cause over-drying, which can lead to irritation.

The reason products have guidelines about how much product you should use is because the company has done loads of research on the product, and that’s the amount they know is effective and safe to use.

How much is too much?If the product you’re using doesn’t seem to be clearing up your breakouts, you might not be using it the right way or it might not be right for your skin - everyone’s skin is different! Different pimple products have different levels of active ingredients, so do some research and find a product that has the right levels for you. Here are some great options to get you started.

Occasional or regular breakouts: Clean & Clear® Advantage Fast Clearing Spot Gel. The breakthrough technology helps dissolve oil to allow pore clearing salicylic acid to penetrate deep into pores to visibly reduce pimple symptoms fast.

Regular breakouts: Clean & Clear® Advantage Pimple Control Kit - the complete pimple care systems. The 4 powerful pimple-fighting ingredients work together to help effectively target and help prevent blemishes, restoring skin to a healthy, clear condition fast.

Severe breakouts: See your doctor or a dermatologist.
