SensiClear

Is SensiClear really the ultimate acne treatment? There is definitely a lot of hype around the product due to the expensive marketing strategy of the company, but when it comes down to it consumers like myself just want a product that works, regardless of what TV personalities think about it. I will go through a basic run-down of the package that SensiClear offers.

  • “Purifying Cleanser” – the ingredients compare pretty directly to a basic face wash, which can be found anywhere. There is nothing to say it isn’t an effective face cleaner, though its ingredients are the usual synthetic and relatively inexpensive mix.
  • “Balancing Toner” – contains salicylic acid, which is proven to be an effective pore cleanser. Be warned however that this is a synthetic compound and can be harsh on the skin. A gentler alternative would be White Willow Bark (a natural source of salicylic acid), which is gentler on the skin while providing the same cleansing power.
  • “Acne Treatment Lotion” – again the active ingredient is salicylic acid. Aside from this the lotion contains a pretty heavy combination of waxes, silicones, and alcohols. These can be known to actually aggravate acne.
  • “Bonus Spot Treatment “ – This is simply a compound containing salicylic acid in about 4 times the concentration, which may remove the acne but will likely lead to “dry, peeling, red, or scaling skin,” as stated on Drugs.com.

Pricing

Most places list this package at around $80, which is a very expensive for just a basic (and inexpensively made) mix of chemicals. On their website, they offer a trial of the package for the $7.95 shipping cost. If you look at the terms however, if you do not cancel in 30 days, you will be automatically enrolled in their program and charged $24.50 for the next shipment and for every month after that. On top of that, autoship programs are a pain to cancel. More often than not, the customer service is nonexistentand set on keeping you enrolled. A bit of a mess just to try a pretty generic product, if you ask me.

Conclusion

Basically, SensiClear is a reinvention of the wheel—another overpriced, semi effective acne treatment with an annoying autoship program. It’s obvious that the product is more serious about selling itself every month than actually clearing up your acne. I do not recommend SensiClear.
