Hey dolls! Happy Valentine’s week lol is there anything like that though? How are you today?
I’m here with a lifesaving pimple-clearing toner, to read more on products for acne, check Glory‘s post here.
Product: Clean and Clear Essentials Deep Cleaning Astringent Salicylic Acid Acne Medication.
Product Promise: Treats & helps prevent pimples.
Product Information: Active ingredient: 2% salicylic acid for acne medication.
Directions:
Cleanse skin thoroughly before applying medication
Moisten a cotton ball and cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily.
Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, stat with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a physician. If bother-some drying or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
Size: 8 oz.
Ingredients: Water, Alcohol Isoceteth-20, Fragrance, Dimethicone Propyl PG-Bethaine, Benzopheone-4, Red 4, Denatonium Benzoate.
Smell: Like alcohol, quite strong.
Consistency: Like water.
Price: 1200n – 2500n.
Where To Buy: Local supermarket, Jumia.
How I Use:
Initially when I bought this product I used it twice daily, and my skin got so dry with dry patches (mistake), I used to swipe/drag this product once applied to my cotton pad but IT SPREADS BACTERIA (mistake). I also used to apply this all over my face (mistake).
- Now, applying this product on my cotton pad, I DAB it into my skin ONLY ON AREAS WITH ACNE.
- I use this once every other day/s, either in the morning if I’m not going out or at night.
It dries the pimples out so you might want to follow up with a face moisturizer before going out.
Pros
- I like the packaging.
- Affordable and available.
- Gets the job done, two weeks after using this my pimples dried up.
Cons
- None.
Will I Buy Again?
Yes, it works.

Bought this when I was struggling with acne and it dried my face out. I also felt it was pretty harsh.
Dumped it after about 3 uses and it expired on my table unused after that.
I used a moisturizer but I guess I should have only dabbed on problem areas.

Yes, dabbing is the way to go with toners and it will definitely dry your face out, I had to reduce usage to every other day.
Thanks for stopping by Hun.

It works wonders. However, it is absolutely scarce in Nigeria and there are several derogatory imitations of this product. It clears acne and black spots! I’m really sad that I can’t find the original product in circulation anymore.

I think you find alternatives to this toner like The Ordinary Glycolic Acid or Paula’s Choice BHA 2% Salicylic Acid.
