Go to lightweight moisturizer
Non Greasy! No oily residue! Hydrates! Perfect lightweight moisturizer anytime day or night. My only con is I wish they’d bring back the pump top

works really well
My favorite moisturizer to use. Has a cooling affect as well as helping with acne. Works well under makeup and makes it look seem less. A little goes a long way so it will last.

Sucks!
I've used this moisterizer for years. Now I find you've add menthol to it. Why would I want my skin to tingle and sting? What idiot thought people with blemish prone skin would want menthol added? I want my money back!

A great lightweight moisturizer for acne-prone skin! It has no scent and is not greasy. Since I started using this last month I have noticed less breakouts in areas of my face.

Lightweight and effective for clear skin
Great day time moisturizer, has always helped me with breakouts and acne. It is lightweight, with a fresh fragrance and a little goes a long way. The pump bottle is super effective, one pump is sufficient for my entire face and the bottle lasts me a long time.

Very lightweight formula that keeps your skin moisturized, soft and radiant. Very easy to dispense also. And a little goes a long way. However, if you have an oily skin like me it might cause even more greasy and oily look.

eye skin irritation warning
I'm pretty sure this product triggered an allergic for the skin around my eyes. Im not usually sensitive to the ingredients in skincare but the skin under my eyes got unbelievably itchy after about a week of using this as my daily moisturizer. it isn't dry, flakey, discolored, or bumpy in any way, it's just really itchy and the only thing that's helped is ibuprofen. and with this product being the only change to my routine I'm certain it's the cause. I've stopped using it to see if the itchiness improves at all. The next stop will be the dermatologist if it doesn't go away.

Absolutely love this product! I used it for years and it was always great on my skin. It helped me with my breakouts and really worked. It helped moisturize my skin and prevented any dryness or flaking!

Great beginner skincare
This was the first moisturizer I ever incorporated into my skincare in high school! It’s a great beginner friendly moisturizer to help keep you soft and not clog up your pores. It’s a little shiny on my oily skin but too terrible. I don’t love the scent.

Back to original formula please!
I do not like the new formula with pro-vitamin B5 AT ALL! It's not better than the original and my skin does not feel as clean and my complexion looks worse. If something isn't broke, don't "fix it".

I’ve been using the Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Moisturizer for a while, and it’s been great for keeping my skin hydrated without feeling greasy. It absorbs quickly and leaves my face soft and smooth. I love that it helps prevent breakouts while still being gentle enough for daily use. The scent is light and fresh, and the packaging makes it easy to dispense just the right amount. It’s perfect for combination or oily skin and works well under makeup too!

Light, non-greasy moisturizer that keeps skin clea
This moisturizer balances my skin so well — it hydrates but doesn’t clog pores. I like the light, fresh feel and how quickly it absorbs. Great for combination or oily skin, especially during warmer months.

Tried and true
I’ve been using this face lotion for 10+ years. It’s super lightweight and layers great under makeup! I love the way it makes my skin feeling fresh. This works really well for acne prone skin! The only downside is that the bottle changed and doesn’t have the pump anymore.
