Paula's ChoiceCLEAR Pore Normalizing Facial Cleanser, Acne Daily Face Wash, Salicylic Acid Face Cleanser for Clogged & Enlarged Pores, Redness & Blackheads, Fragrance FreeCompact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

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

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).

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

TLDR: Great at getting dirt off my face and it's very gentle. Doesn't do anything for acne, pores, redness, or black heads.I used every oz of this stuff because of how well my skin loves it. It's gentle and gets all the dirt and stuff off my glamorous face. HOWEVERRRRRR the bottle says "Pore Normalizing Cleanser" and my pores are still large. It also says other stuff about acne, but it didn't make any dramatic changes (btw I 100% recommend going to a dermatologist because they will give you something for YOUR skin. Remember everyone's skin is different so something that works are one person may not work for you). Overall, great cleanser for getting the dirt off your face, but doesn't do anything for skin concerns.P.S I would purchase again.

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.

I use it every day. its great.

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.
