I’ve been one of those “lucky” women who after turning the big 3-0, suddenly had adult acne. Not so long ago I had nice clear skin with an odd hormonal zit, but that was no longer the case. I take birth control pills, cut out dairy for the most part and drink lots of water. When I was sent the Philosophy Clear Days Ahead collection, I was so excited to try it out!

I do want to say though, I have been getting regular facials for the past year and also had a couple of chemical peels which made such a huge difference in getting rid of those pesky acne spots. My forehead has cleared up and so has my jawline. BUT I still get these horrible almost cystic zits by my chin. And is it me or does it take forever to get rid of them as you get older?

Being a nice shade of pale, I feel the red marks are far more noticeable than other peoples. Thank god for concealer!

Back to the Philosophy Clear Days Ahead collection. So I was sent this as a free product and was so happy to try it out. I’m wanting to achieve that glow that we all are striving for.

The Philosophy Clear Days Ahead collection

I use the Oil-Free Salicylic Acid Acne cleanser every second day. It contains 1% salicylic acid, so I don’t want to dry my skin out. I leave it on for the 30-60 seconds it recommends. Since introducing it into my routine, I feel it has helped out. Because of the salicylic acid, which helps unclog pores, targets existing acne blemishes and helps prevent future breakouts.

It also contains:

The Fast Acting Salicylic Acid Acne Spot treatment is the bomb! Clear Days Ahead Spot Treatment contains 2% salicylic acid, which really gives you a fast turnaround on clearing up those zits. It also has 2% glycolic acid and polysilicone-11 to absorb oil.

The moisturizer was ok, I didn’t really like the texture and prefer their Hope in Jar (which is amazing!). The Clear Days Ahead Moisturizer contains 1% salicylic acid. It also has oligopeptide-10 and works to prevent the skin from developing new acne blemishes. But for myself, it just had a weird texture and wasn’t moisturizing enough.

The Overnight Repair Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Pads are really effective but I feel you could get equally good products at the drugstore for a 1/3 of the price. They run for $46 (!!), so expensive for the average person.

I’m not going to lie, the Philosophy Clear Days Ahead collection isn’t exactly cheap. But it does have a couple of great products in it that are effective and did make a difference to my face.

    Was doing some research to help out my gf, she’s having a hard time with those acne. These products sounds great, will give them a try!

  2. I think it is so important to reevaluate your skin care routine as you get older. I still get acne from time to time and always try to stay on top of it.

    I have used Philosophy before and really liked their products. This seems like a good collection. I could use a moisturizer anytime.
