Pharmacists FAQs Answered

Are Clearasil 5-in-1 Pads for combination or sensitive skin types?

Even though Clearasil 5-in-1 Cleansing Pads are fine for oily and acne-prone skin, they might be too harsh or drying for reactive or sensitive skin types due to the alcohol denat and salicylic acid they contain, which strip away natural oils from the skin. For combination skin, the pads may be used selectively—i.e., on the T-zone or break-out areas—rather than on the entire face. If you experience tightness, redness, or flaking, attempt to decrease frequency or switch to a less harsh, alcohol-free exfoliant.

Can I use these pads with other acne treatments?

You need to take precautions when using salicylic acid products like these pads together with other active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, or tretinoin as it may lead to increased skin dryness, irritation, or sensitivity. If you are under a prescription acne medication or some other over-the-counter treatment, use Clearasil pads at another time of the day (e.g., morning instead of evening), or alternate days to monitor your skin response. Always start slowly and consult a pharmacist or dermatologist for individual advice.

How long do results take with Clearasil pads?

Most consumers start experiencing better skin texture, oil control, and diminishing breakouts between 1 and 2 weeks of regular application. However, maximum effects take 4 to 6 weeks depending on how bad your concerns are and overall skin care practices. Be regular and patient as treatments for acne act slowly over a period of time by destroying blocked pores and redness.

Do I need to moisturise after applying these pads?

Yes, it is advisable to use a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser after the use of Clearasil pads to prevent dryness and help the skin's natural barrier. Choose moisturisers that contain nourishing ingredients like soothing and hydrating like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or panthenol. Avoid heavy creams or pore-clogging ingredients like mineral oil if you suffer from breakouts.

Can Clearasil pads be used on any part of the body?

Absolutely. The thinness of these pads makes them convenient to use to help treat acne in spots other than the face, such as the back (usually called "bacne") or chest. Clean the affected areas with a new pad when showering, particularly after sweating or exercising. Only make sure not to overdo in already dry or irritated areas and don't apply to broken or recently shaved skin.

What precautions must I take when using Clearasil pads?

Salicylic acid can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, making it more prone to sunburn. If you’re using Clearasil pads daily, especially in the morning, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin. Alternatively, consider using the pads at night to minimise the risk of sun-related skin damage while still gaining their exfoliating benefits.

Are Clearasil pads safe for teenagers?

Yes, Clearasil pads are also regularly used by oily or acne-prone teenagers and can be added to an early skincare routine. However, since teenage skin is sometimes more sensitive, start once daily, ideally at night. If there is good tolerance, this can be gradually increased to twice daily as instructed. Advise teens to end with a gentle moisturiser and not to layer multiple treatments for acne without the advice of your healthcare professional.
