Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel — Mini Travel 0.34 fl oz, 2% Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment for Fast-Acting Blemish R

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel is a lightweight, fast-acting spot treatment formulated with 2% salicylic acid and soothing botanicals to reduce blemishes and calm redness. This concentrated hydro-gel builds on Clinique’s multi-decade blemish research to target clogged pores and visible irritation without heavy oils or fragrance. The travel-size 0.34 fl oz tube is made for quick application to emerging or existing breakouts, dries quickly, and layers smoothly under makeup or other skincare steps.

How quickly will I see a change after applying this gel?

Clinical testing shows visible size reduction in as little as one hour after a single application for many users, with measurable reduction in redness shortly after. Results vary by individual and depend on skin condition and frequency of use.

• Contains 2% salicylic acid to loosen pore-clogging oil and dead skin cells.
• Formulated as a hydro-gel that dries quickly for targeted application.
• Clinically tested for rapid visible improvement in controlled studies.

What key ingredients help clear breakouts and soothe skin?

This formula combines proven exfoliation with plant-derived and microbiome-supporting ingredients to address both the cause and visible effects of blemishes. It’s designed to reduce clogging oils while helping to calm redness associated with irritation.

• Salicylic acid (2%) to exfoliate inside pores and help clear blockages.
• Witch hazel to refine the skin’s texture and reduce excess oil appearance.
• Laminaria saccharina to help break down surface oil; lactobacillus ferment to visibly calm irritation.

Is this safe to use with my other skincare and makeup?

The gel is oil-free, fragrance-free, non-acnegenic and formulated to layer well with serums, moisturizers, and cosmetics. Because it dries quickly, it can be used as a spot treatment beneath makeup or a second skincare step without pilling.

• Dermatologist-developed and dermatologist-tested for compatibility with varied skincare routines.
• Fragrance-free and allergy tested to reduce potential irritation triggers.
• Use sparingly on trouble spots; follow with sunscreen during daytime use.

How should I use the mini travel size effectively?

The compact tube is ideal for on-the-go touch-ups and trial use. Apply a thin layer directly to the blemish once or twice daily, or as directed by a skincare professional, and allow it to dry before adding other products.

• Carry the 0.34 fl oz tube for discreet daytime touch-ups and evening spot care.
• Use as a targeted treatment rather than an all-over product to avoid over-drying.
• Pair with a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer for balanced care.
