Prevent Acne with Clinique Oily Skin Formula Facial Soap

Are you tired of beholding a pizza face every time you look in the mirror? Do you pick at zits and then wish you hadn't when the scar appears a few days later? Even worse, are you sick of watching Jessica Simpson tout the ProActiv formula on TV when you've tried it time and again without successful results? Then start with a MORE proactive product.

I'll admit it; my skin has a heavy tendency towards breaking out in acne. On any given day I could wake up with four or five brand new whiteheads plastered all over my face, and I'll inevitably be sporting them throughout the week until they finally diminish, either from multiple poppings or several medicines. By then my face is graced with tiny (or not so tiny) flat red spots, evidence of an acne scar waiting to happen.

That's why I never go one day without washing my face with Clinique Oily Skin Formula Facial Soap. I've used it for over two years now, and it has faithfully prevented bad breakouts the whole time. With few exceptions, I rarely ever wake up with a face clad in pepperoni, and when I do, they're much less tolerable than when I used soaps from those other brands.

What's so great about this soap that makes it different from other brands? For one, it doesn't dry your face out. When I used off-brand facial cleansers, I would get large dry patches on my face that I wasn't able to cover up with makeup. Not only was this embarrassing, it flaked all over the place, acting like facial dandruff. This soap simply removes the dirt and surface oil; it doesn't strip your pores dry. Secondly, it's not sticky and stiff once it's applied; in other words, it leaves your face feeling more like satin than starched cotton. Another plus for this soap is its non-staining qualities. Most acne soaps stain towels, sheets, and clothing, but Clinique's Oily Skin Formula Facial Soap does not.
