Avon Clearskin® Blackhead Eliminating Daily Cleanser

This SUCKED!!!! The first time I used it, it seemed fine, then 2 days later I had this horrible reaction where my face got red and puffy and itchy and burned like a mofo! For about a week after that i had these little blisters on my face and it was all sensitive and red, looked awful! I went to my dermatologist and couldn't figure out what the hell it was because I had used it like 2 days before and thought that if something was to happen with using that cleanser that it would have happened sooner as with most allergic reactions. About a month later I run out of my normal Burts Bees Orange essence cleanser so I bust out the Clearskin cleanser again, nothing happens at first and all is well until like clockwork the next day I start having the symptoms from the last time I tried it, I quickly down two Benadryl and hope that shit goes down before I look all horrid again! The Benadryl worked and I didn't get it as bad as the last time, but it is confirmed that The Clearskin cleanser is the culprit and I will never use it again! I hope I save some people from the misfortune of trying that product as it has given me the most violent reaction I have had in a long time. I wonder if anyone else has tried this and liked it or had a bad experience like myself?

  2. OMG! I have had the exact same reaction, washed my face with the cleanser yesterday after which it felt a bit tight and looked red around my nose, however this morning I looked like I had been burnt! My eyes were swollen and my whole face, especially around my eyes, nose and mouth was red with tiny, bumpy spots. I AM IN SOOOO MUCH PAIN!!!! Have resorted to just using water and no make up. I feel very self conscious and will NEVER use this awful product again!

  4. This just happened to me today. Im so glad I found this post. Even if its an old post it helped. I couldnt figure out what made me react this bad because I hadnt used anything on my face when reaction happened so I was clueless. I had started using the cleanser 2 days prior and morning of reaction. now I know.
