Have to have
I am surprised by the low ratings on this cream…for me, it’s bomb. It has an incredible ingredient deck, extremely lightweight, but hydrating and plumping. It’s the perfect moisturizer for oily skin. I hate the price

Did Not Work For Me
I was so hopeful for this line… I have perioral dermatitis, aging skin, and prone to breakouts. Unfortunately using this line exclusively, I had the worst breakout I have experienced in 10+ years. After three days of stopping this line completely, my skin has almost completely healed. Not sure what it is that my skin does not like, but sadly this line did not work for me.

Great for acne!
After using this for 2 weeks I could see great results with less black heads and blemishes. I would use this clarifying face cream if I felt like My skin needed extra help for acne that night. So I would skip my regular moisturizer and only use this.

Breakouts on combo skin
In 1-2 days of use I was getting clogged pores and new breakouts. I have combo skin. I stopped use immediately and they went away. Looked at the ingredient list and it is heavy in oils. Not sure why they would keep oils for clarifying. Go figure.

The Best Cream
I LOVE this cream. I had lots of hyperpigmentation and this cream has helped to even out my skin tone and help minimize blemishes. It’s pricey but has totally been worth it for me

does not clog ya pores!
I’ve never been able to consistently use a cream moisturizer as everything breaks me out even after only one day. This one has not made me break out not even a little bit, and the jar is nearly done! So happy to finally find a moisturizer I can use like a normal human!

made my skin worse
Worked for a while so I bought a second jar. Then my face started breaking out like I’ve never seen before. I have acne prone skin so I was hoping I had found my miracle product, but it is a complete waste of money and made my skin worse. I stopped using it one night, and my skin cleared up by the morning. I HIGHLY recommend Epicuren Acidophilus Probiotic Facial Cream (not sold at Sephora, unfortunately) for anyone struggling with acne. It works VERY well and I’m sad I even gave this “Clarifying” face cream a try. Save your money and your skin.

Not worth the money for me
This was the first product from the brand I tried. Was too thick for me and made me break out after continued use. Have been too nervous to try anything else from the line now. Went back to the Origins Original Skin Matte Moisturizer.
