Blemish Control Toner — 2% salicylic acid
This blemish-controlling toner helps exfoliate dead surface skin cells and helps keep pores clean. It helps diminish the appearance of pores and alleviate pimples and whiteheads. This toner does not overdry your skin and will leave it feeling soft and supple.
How to Use: Shake product onto a clean cotton pad. Sweep the dampened pad gently over your face. Use upward motions to avoid dragging the skin downward. Allow toner to dry on skin before applying the next product in your skin care routine. This product can be used twice daily.

Acne Treatment Gel —5% benzoyl peroxide
This acne treatment gel clears up blemishes without irritating skin. It works to help visibly reduce the redness and size of pimples and visibly reduce the number of blackheads. This treatment gel helps clear up pimples fast while helping prevent new ones from forming. It also helps fade the look of lingering acne spots and is mild enough to use every day.
How to Use:
Squeeze a small amount of Acne Treatment Gel onto your fingertip or a clean cotton pad. Gently and precisely apply the gel directly to the acne blemish. Allow it to dry completely before applying the next step in your skin care routine.

Over-the-counter drug product
Oil-Free Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin
This moisturizer works to replenish moisture to provide balanced hydration. This lightweight formula absorbs quickly with no oily or greasy feel. It's non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores. The moisturizer helps to control excess oil, leaving skin with a beautiful matte finish.
Skin is left feeling healthier, nourished and smooth.
How to Use:
After cleansing and toning, dispense a nickel-sized amount of product onto your fingertips. Dot the moisturizer onto your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Gently massage the moisturizer into your skin using upward and outward motions.
Additional Products from the Clear Proof Line
Skin has a natural exfoliating process. Sometimes this process doesn’t work as effectively as it should, so oil, bacteria, and impurities get trapped inside pores. The Clear Proof Deep-Cleansing Charcoal Mask helps remove the dirt and impurities that can contribute to problem skin and offers a gentle solution for supporting a clearer-looking complexion.
Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal has gained popularity in skin care products because of its ability to draw out impurities from the skin. This ingredient is so powerful, it can bind up to double its weight in pore-clogging impurities. Think of it like a powerful magnet withdrawing dirt and debris from deep within pores. The mask can absorb excess oil. It is suitable for all skin tones and skin types, particularly those with oily skin.
