Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Facial Cleanser, Acne Daily Face Wash, Salicylic Acid Face Cleanser for Clogged & Enlarged Pores, Redness & Blackheads, Fragrance Free

I’ve been using Paula’s Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser for about a month, and it’s fantastic for my acne-prone skin. The gel texture feels silky and lightweight, and a little goes a long way—just a small dab covers my whole face. It cleans deeply, washing away makeup and oil without leaving my skin tight or dry, which is a huge win. The 0.5% salicylic acid is gentle yet effective, keeping breakouts in check and smoothing out my pores over time. My T-zone feels less oily, and I’ve noticed fewer blackheads, especially on my nose.It’s super easy to use: wet your face, massage it in with gentle circular motions, and rinse. I sometimes pair it with my Buf-Puf sponge for a deeper clean, and the combo leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft. The fragrance-free formula is a blessing for my sensitive skin—no irritation or redness at all. It’s not a miracle cure for acne, but it’s a solid, reliable cleanser that makes my skin feel clean and prepped for the rest of my routine. Totally worth it for anyone battling large pores or occasional breakouts

This is such a great value pack of quality clean simple facial cleanser! With 3 kids, who prefer their “own” items this shares well! Lasting months before I need to repurchase! Cleanses well, doesn’t leave the skin too dry. Pairs nicely with post cleansing serums and moisturizers too!

It’s the perfect refill! It keeps the cleanser quality.

The media could not be loaded. After washing my face I felt my skin very clean not any oiliness. It feels little bit dry but just a simple moisturizer is working.I can see it will be very effective.It doesn’t make too much foam but even without it, I could feel that it’s working good.My skin feels fresh.I’m not fan of the smell but smell doesn’t stay long after washing.

Initially tried this cleanser formula when traveling and I loved how it cleaned my skin without drying it out! High and reliably performing part of my skincare routine and a great value when purchased in bulk (a little goes a long way).

works great for summer acne!

Here is a picture of what I use for my face which is both oily and dry. It has been hard finding the right face products for my skin. A lot of times it would clog my large pores, or I would have white heads along with dry/ red blotchy skin. Then I researched some of Paula’s Choice products. I picked out what I thought fit my type of skin. After some adjusting my skin has been the best it has ever been. I don’t have big blackheads, white heads, dry skin, or red blotches. And it feels great. In the morning I use the face wash, eye cream, and the daily hydrating fluid lotion. At night I use the face wash, the toner (make sure you let your face completely dry afterwards before moving on), I use 3 drops of the boost (let that dry), then I put on the night oil free moisturizer.Every Tuesday night I use the exfoliate instead of the toner. You let it dry completely. It takes about 15 minutes. I usually don’t put anything on after using the exfoliate because I am too tired to wait for it to dry. It works for me.Then about once a month or every two weeks on a Friday night, after using the toner, I use exfoliate rinse off treatment. Afterwards I finish with the boost and night moisturizer.

It works really well for blackheads, but I can’t use it every day as it can be drying. It is also hard to dispense. I would give it a 5 for cleaning, and a 1 for product packaging.
