PRODUCT REVIEW: Clean&Clear Pore Perfecting Moisturizer

When it comes to skincare, everyone's skin is different. We've got the normal skin, the combination skin, the dry skin, the sensitive skin, and who can forget the grease balls!?! (oily skin)

Because everyone's skin is so different, we react to various products differently.
If you have dry skin, sticking to something moisturizing with the extra oils can benefit your skin. However, if you have oily skin, your moisturizer should be a gel form, and an oil-free moisturizer is recommended.
If you have sensitive skin, testing out various products is highly important, for your skin may react differently to each and every one. 


I have been on the hunt for many years for THE PERFECT moisturizer for my skin. I don't think I have found it YET, but this one may be a possibility!

The original packaging

Clean & Clear's Pore Perfecting Moisturizer is affordable. It can be found at any local drugstore or Wal-mart locations. It cost approximately $12 Canadian, and sometimes you can even grab the product at a lower price!

There has been mixed reviews on Clean & Clear's Pore Perfecting Moisturizer. Some people hate it because it reacted poorly with their skin, but others love it. I'm the individual that loved it!




The pore perfecting moisturizer claims to minimize the look of pores with light diffusing minerals. The product also has SPF 15. And the best part, this moisturizer is OIL-FREE!

Because of the light diffusing particles, it does brighten up your face! Therefore, I highly suggest using this in the morning before your make-up application. 

I don't have extremely large pores, so with this product, I didn't seem to notice any change with my pores. However, I brought this product because it was an oil-free moisturizer.

The formula is heavier than a gel moisturizer, but lighter than a foundation formula. It's light weight, applies on smoothly, and keeps the oil away!
This product does have a particular smell to it - it smells like sunscreen, but I've looked past the smell on this product because it's that amazing.


A little goes a long way for this product. If you apply too much on your face, you will tend to look like a grease ball faster. However, applying a small amount is sufficient enough.


Allot of people use this product as a primer, but if you do have oily skin, do NOT try this! In my opinion, some people used this as a primer simply because they have extremely dry skin.


As for the SPF ingredient, this product offers SPF 15. This amount is not sufficient enough for a bright, summer, July day, but the small amount is perfect for protecting your skin from the harmful rays during the winter months (Yes, there still is UV during the winter!).
Keep in mind that SPF will cause unnecessary shine in photos. So, if you're going to be taking photos that day, using a different moisturizer WITHOUT SPF is highly recommended; you don't want unnecessary shine for your amazing night out.
