Paula's Choice CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser, Salicylic Acid Acne Face Wash for Large Pores, Redness & BlackheadsCompact 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).

Works great. Been using it for about 3weeks now and in the second day I noticed a difference. Works better than other fave washes I have used. Works best when using other products by the same provider.

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.

Worth its weight in Gold! Saw immediate results.

Good

This really cleared my face up I really like how well this worked. My first week I broke out a little bit like is supposed to happen when trying a new face wash and now my skin is so clear

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.
