This has 100% been my holy grail product. I was struggling with a fair amount of regular hormonal acne for months and was using the CosRX Blackhead power liquid to basically no avail. I discovered that that product does not actually use salicylic acid but something gentler that works great for some people but definitely not for me. One I made the switch to CLEAR 2% I saw an IMMEDIATE difference. I now have consistently had no active breakouts on my jaw which hasn't happened for me in a year. If you're dealing with hormonal acne I can't recommend this enough it's dramatically cleared my skin, and it's more even and radiant. I also use the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide lotion which has helped to banish anything stubborn sticking around. LOVE the clear line PC!!!
