Acne Treatment Reviews

What is MaxClarity?

When you see countless advertisements on TV for all these hot new skin care products, its normal to become a little skeptical. It seems that with all the celebrity endorsements and infomercials for acne treatments its hard to tell between the products that are overcompensating and the products that genuinely work. MaxClarity is just such a product that is constantly being advertised on TV and has created a stir in the acne treatment world. Owned by one of the leading pharmaceutical giants Glaxo Smith Kleine, MaxClarity is the only acne treatment that comes in a foam system. This VersaFoam was created by Stiefel, a company that has over 160 years of experience. MaxClarity is an over-the-counter acne medication that is a 3-step process.

What are the 3 steps?

• MaxClarity Foam Deep Cleanser: This foaming solution contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, an active ingredient commonly used in acne treatments. “Gentle” wouldn’t exactly be the word we’d use to describe any medication containing this ingredient because of some of the harsh side effects that come with it. Expect to experience dryness, flaking, redness, or a rash when using any product with benzoyl peroxide. This cleanser can be used anywhere on your body that you are struggling with acne including your face, chest, or back.
• MaxClarity Foam Advanced Acne Treatment: This solution is similar to the deep cleanser as it also contains benzoyl peroxide, but this is a leave-on treatment that stays on your skin the whole day.
• MaxClarity Foam Rejuvenating Toner: Another foam that you rub onto the skin and leave on for the whole day. This solution contains .5% Salicylic Acid, an ingredient often found in over-the-counter acne treatments. It exfoliates the skin and rids hair follicles of excess dead skin cells, preventing clogging that may lead to breakouts.

Despite the claim on the website that Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide are much more effective when used together, many find that this combination is too irritating on the skin and experience a slew of unwanted side effects.

How much does MaxClarity cost?

MaxClarity is only available for purchase through their website or a toll free number, which is often a bad omen for many and may even stop some from buying. The Deep Cleanser, Advanced Acne Treatment, and Rejuvenating Toner are only $19.95, and that includes free shipping and a free one month supply. It also comes with a 60-day money back guarantee.

Is MaxClarity worth buying?

While we wouldn’t necessarily recommend this product, we will give credit where credit is earned. MaxClarity deserves praise for their inventive foam system and the fact that this product is one-of-a-kind, but the ingredients used in the product are far from being unique. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are used together in countless other acne treatments and its a shame that this new foaming technology was wasted on a product that is considered subpar by many. We realize that there will be mixed reviews on just about any product out there but the fact remains that while many users experienced good results while taking this product, there was still a large number of users that only saw adequate results and took advantage of the money back guarantee.
