Pros: after use skin is clean and fresh with no residue, inexpensive
Cons: tames acne, but definitely doesn't eliminate it
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this cleanser for anyone looking for an inexpensive cleanser that helps control oil and acne.

| smartshop411's Full Review: Avon Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser |
I’ve been using Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser for about 4 months now. I have combination skin that is pretty oily in the summer. My skin is also sensitive sometimes to acne medications and will get dry and flakey. I am pushing 30 years old and have the pleasure of breakouts and wrinkles at the same time! Nature is cruel sometimes….
The Product….
Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser is available in 1 size (5.1 fl oz.) and comes with a pump. It is a clear gel that turns to foam with water. The retail price is $4.29, but it is sometimes on sale.
According to the back of the bottle, Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser:
· Treats acne
· Help prevent the development of new acne
· Penetrates pores to eliminate blackheads and
pimples
Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser can be purchased on-line at www.avon.com or through your local Avon representative. I always buy on-line.
The active ingredient in Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser is salicylic acid 2%. The other ingredients are as follows: water, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, lauramidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, aloe barbadenis gel, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, xanthan gum, atelocollagen, sodium chondroitin sulfate, phosphatidylcholine, butylene/ethylene/propylene copolymer, sodium c8-16 isoalkylsuccinyl lactoglobulin sulfonate, isododecane, lysine carboxymethyl cysteinate, butylene glycol, sodium chloride, imidazolidinyl urea, disodium edta, cocamidopropyl pg-dimonium chloride phosphate, peg-150 distearate, sodium citrate, benzoic acid, benzophenone-9, fragrance
My Experience…
Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser works well for my combination skin. I use one-pump per wash, and it lathers up nicely. I use it 1-3 times per day. My skin definitely feels clean afterwards, with no soapy residue. The smell is slightly medicinal, but not unpleasant. As far as acne fighting benefits, my skin has been clearer since I began to use this product regularly, but I still have breakouts and blackheads. They are definitely not “eliminated”. But I will continue to use Avon’s Clearskin Purifying Gel Cleanser because it rinses cleanly, fights oil, doesn’t irritate my skin, and is a great price.
