Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer
- Contains benzoyl peroxide
- Soothing ingredients
- Oil-free
- Does not contain sunscreen
- Expensive
Skin-care specialists say Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer helps clear up acne without drying out skin. The facial moisturizer contains 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide, which experts say is mild enough to apply liberally over acne-prone skin. Critics also like that the moisturizer contains antioxidants and other ingredients to help calm and soothe the skin, and reviewers love its gel-like feel. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (*est. $24 for 4.2 ounces) is recommended by reviewers more often for oily skin but doesn't contain the same acne-fighting ingredients.

Paula Begoun rates Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer as "very good," calling it one of the most "state-of-the-art benzoyl peroxide lotions available today." She raves that it "contains oodles of good-for-skin ingredients" but does not ultimately choose the moisturizer as a top pick because it includes peppermint extract -- a potential skin irritant she says is unnecessary.
