Effectiveness
The Clean and Clear Advantage 2-in-1 Acne and Mark Eraser Kit daily treatment plan consists of 4 products, 3 steps, twice daily.
Your morning routine consists of:
Breakout Erasing Cleanser: The active ingredient in this cleanser is Benzoyl Peroxide (10%), it’s main purpose is to reduce the number of skin surface bacteria, and yeasts. Benzoyl Peroxide also reduces the number of comedones (white heads or blackheads). Benzoyl peroxide (10%) is the highest concentration, most acne products contain 2.5% or 5%. Concentrations of 10% may lead to dryness, peeling, scaly skin, swelling of the face, tongue or neck, dizziness or trouble breathing. If any of these symtoms persist or worsen contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. It may also bleach your clothing, so make sure it has dried before coming in contact with clothes or bedding.
Daily Protecting Moisturizer SPF 15: The active ingredients in this moisturizer are:
- Avobenzone (2%) Boosts sunscreen protection.
- Octocrylene (1.7%): Absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA rays protecting your skin from DNA damage.
- Octisalate (5%) Absorbs UVB rays from the sun protecting it from the harmful effects of exposre. It has a slight floral scent to it.
- Oxybenzone (3%) Absorbs UVA and UVB rays. Oxybenzone helps increase the production of free radicals , and can attack DNA when illuminated. Oxybenzone may be linked to increased risks of malignant melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer.
Mark Erasing Spot treatment: The active ingredient in the spot treatment is Salicylic Acid (2%). Salicylic Acid causes the skin cells to shed, opening clogged pores while neutralizing bacteria within, preventing future breakouts.
Evening Routine:

Value
Clean and Clear Advantage 2-in-1 Acne and Mark Eraser Kit retails for $29.99. For a drug store product it is a little pricey, but if you consider the fact that you are getting 4 products the price is right. Clean & Clear Advantage 2-in-1 Acne & Mark Eraser Kit does not come with a money back guarantee, so if it doesn’t work you are out $30.
Conclusion
Clean and Clear Advantage 2-in-1 Acne and Mark Eraser Kit is a convenient and inexpensive acne kit that can be purchased online or at your local drugstore. It’s effectiveness in reducing acne scars is questionable. It does help fight acne with the Breakout Erasing Cleanser. It contains a 10% concentration of benzoyl peroxide which is very high. If you have sensitive skin, I suggest you steer clear. Customers complained about how it bleaches clothing so you may want to be extra careful while washing your face and make sure it is dry before your face hits the pillow at night.
One thing we look for in an acne scar removal product is top of the line ingredients like, Hyaluronic Acid and Matrixyl 3000 that have an anti-aging effects on the skin and help produce collagen, giving you healthy looking (and feeling) skin. As well as ingredients like Coenzyme-Q10 which helps boost skin repair and regeneration. Clean and Clear does not offer any of these ingredients, or anything similar to it. So you may find your skin red, itchy and dried out rather than smoothe, supple and scar free.
I would not recommend this product to anyone, at first it kind of works but afterwards, it just leaves your skin red, irritated, skin peels, and your face aches. If you want to try this go ahead, it might work for you.
