Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment Review

Disclaimer

At 32 years old, I do still have some minor acne issues.  I hate it.  So more often than not I am willing to try new skin care items and HOPE they work.

I’m going to be sharing Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment with you today.

Two reasons this product interested me – first of all, it helps to eliminate breakouts AND it helps to minimize pore size.  Those are my 2 biggest skin gripes.  I can deal with the fact I have oilier skin, or that I get flakey skin in other areas.  I’ve found decent skin care items for that, but the breakouts and pore size?  Nothing that seems to work well in the long term.  I have some short term primers and such that are temporary fixers, but I would love for them to stay that way for a bit longer.

Back to the review though!

The Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment instructs me to use it one time a day to start, and then gradually move up until I am using it three times a day.  This is because it can cause excessive drying.  If you build up and the dryness becomes bothersome or peeling occurs, you should back down to 1 time a day.

So I started at one time a day and moved up to 2.  My skin was dry and flakey and itchy from being so dry.  I went back to 1 time a day and that seemed to work decently well for me.

The dispenser of the bottle is a pretty standard pump bottle.  I only needed to apply a thin layer every day, so I found that 2 pumps was the perfect amount for me.  I didn’t have any left over and my face wasn’t swimming in product.

Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment isn’t thick but it isn’t runny and it’s light weight, which I like.  There isn’t much of a scent though.  The closest I would describe it as is a very watered down hand sanitizer. It was incredibly faint, which I like in a face product.  There is nothing worse than having to slather a smelly face product night after night.  This one is incredibly tolerable though.

Overall though, I am seeing some results.  I’ve only been using it 3 weeks and my pores do appear a little smaller and my breakouts have toned down.  I have gotten a couple pimples here and there though, but not a cluster of them like I tend to get.  If I was able to deal with the dry skin better, I would up it to 2 or 3 uses a day to speed up results, but I haven’t just yet.

I do plan on doing an updated post once the bottle is empty and say whether I just had “lucky skin” the past few weeks or if the product really is working.  Right now, I do think it’s the product, but hard to tell in just 3 weeks.

Price: $32.50
