Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser

Hello Divas!

I hope you are having a beautiful day!  Life is a blessing!

The last quarter of the year I begin to experience a lot of acne breakouts on my face.  I knew it was stress, but I was kind of frustrated and at lost on how to get rid of it.  I had not had any acne breakouts in quite some time, so I really did not have anything in my beauty arsenal to combat it.

Well I found Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne cleanser and it has been a life saver.  I have used it for a month.  After about two weeks of use, I stopped having breakouts. Woot!  This cleanser contains 10% benzoyl peroxide.  It has a creamy texture and I use it with my Clarisonic.  But be careful.  If it gets in your eyes or mouth, it burns and irritates like crazy.  I learned the hard way.  However, it does not dry out my skin like other benzoyl peroxide cleansers have the tendency to do.

This cleanser gets rid of pimples in a short period of time, is moisturizing and non irritating to my skin. That is why it is my Hot Drugstore Find of The Week!  Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne cleanser retails for $6.49 and you can purchase it at CVS.

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: CVS Brand Acne Spot Treatment

Hello Divas!


I woke up this morning expecting nothing but God's grace and blessings. So just expect nothing but the best everyday!

Two weeks ago, I had these two huge pimples on my face and I was frantic.  I am very religious about washing my face day and night and using sensitive skin products, so I figure the acne breakouts can only be related to stress.  So I ran to CVS to find some type of acne treatment to get rid of those pimples. 

While browsing the health and beauty aisle, I initially zeroed in on Clean & Clear's Advantage Acne Spot  Treatment.  I heard Clean & Clear's Acne Spot Treatment was amazing.  It is a a gel "with a unique breakthrough technology that dissolves surface oils on the skin allowing acne fighting medication to penetrate into pores and clear pimples fast, without over-drying your skin."  Clean & Clear's Advantage Acne Spot Treatment retails for $6.99. Not a bad price. But I looked over and saw that CVS had its own version of the Acne Spot Treatment for $2 less.  Of course, I checked the ingredients and they were identical.   So I purchased the CVS version.

Results?  I used the spot treatment twice a day and within 24 hours the pimples were nearly gone.  The directions state the gel can be used 1-3 times a day and I have discovered if used 2-3 times a day,  you can bet the pimple will be gone by morning.  I have been really impressed with this gel and I am more pleased that I only paid $5 bucks for it.

CVS Acne Spot Treatment has been a life saver and will always be in my beauty stash when I need it.  You can purchase it as CVS and it retails for $4.99.

Have you used either CVS Acne Spot Treatment or Clean & Clear's Advantage Acne Spot Treatment?  If so, what did you think?

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Sea Breeze Astringent

Hello Divas!

I hope all is well in your world!  Life has been pretty good to me lately and I am so thankful to God.


Today I am featuring an oldie but goodie drugstore brand astringent, Sea Breeze.  I recently purchased Sea Breeze because when I went to my local CVS to purchase my staple Clean and Clear Astringent for Sensitive Skin, they were out.  So I grabbed Sea Breeze Astringent for Sensitive Skin and thought it should be a good substitute.

Now I have not used Sea Breeze since high school and I was not sure how it was going to affect my skin.  But I am happy to report that it has been great to my skin.  You know what I love the most about Sea Breeze?  I love that it really digs deep and gets all of the left over dirt and guck out of my pores. Yes, Sea Breeze cleans my face at least 50% better than my staple Clean and Clear Astringent.  I am always shocked by how much dirt is on the cotton pad after using Sea Breeze.   I never removed that much residue using Clean and Clear. Wow!  Plus it is tingly and refreshing and it has a smell that wakes you up in the morning.  Very fresh!  Lastly, it does not dry out my skin. It leaves it clean but soft. This Astringent is a winner in my book.

Sea Breeze Astringent for Sensitive Skin retails for only $4.99 and you can purchase it online here or at any CVS.

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Clean & Clear Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser

Hello Divas!

I hope you have a fantastic hump day!

I am always changing facial cleansers. Why? Well sometimes I feel my skin becomes immune to a cleanser if I use it for an extended period of time. Other times, I may be experiencing problems with my skin and need a cleanser that addresses that problem. Most likely, I just want to try something new! LOL!

A month ago my girl, Yummy411, wrote a wonderful blog post about Clean & Clear's Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser and I had to try it. I obsessively use Clean & Clear's Toner for Sensitive Skin. In my opinion, it is the best bargain Toner on the market. I am happy to report the Make-Up Dissolving Foaming Cleanser is a gem too! I have been using this cleanser for a while now and I am hooked! What I love about this cleanser is that you only need 2 pumps to achieve a great lather. So I know it will last a while. In addition, it cleans very thoroughly yet is very gentle and does not dry out your face! Plus as advertised, it removes make-up like a pro! After washing my face all traces of my make-up is gone! This cleanser is a great drugstore buy! You can purchase this cleanser from CVS and it retails for $6.99.
