Transformative Pore Strips

Clean & Clear's Blackhead Eraser Scrubby Gel Strips Turn into Exfoliant

Most pore strips are designed to be applied with water and harden as they dry, allowing pore-clogging oil and impurities to be pulled from the skin. For those with sensitive skin, this can be a particularly painful process, as the strips can be abrasive and sometimes even cause irritation. Clean & Clear is changing this with an innovative, pain-free treatment.

Clean & Clear's Blackhead Eraser Scrubby Gel Strip is meant to be used as usual, except for the fact that when it's time to remove the oil-free strips, they can be turned into a gentle exfoliating scrub with the addition of water. Formulated with salicylic acid, the non-comedogenic strips are effective in treating blackheads and preventing the formation of new ones in a comfortable way that doesn't strip the skin.
