Whom You Know Recommends Step 2 in this Regimen: GoClear INTENSIVE ACNE TREATMENT

The Clear Gift for Your Skin™

GoClear™ launches the first acne dedicated skincare line specifically designed for everyone.

Acne is one of the most pervasive skin care problems and often the one that millions of people cite as their biggest complexion concern. Yet despite the hundreds of products on the market, few are able to address the full range of symptoms that acne sufferers of all ages, skin types and skin tones face. GoClear, a new exclusively acne-focused prestige skincare line introduces its easy to use and broadly targeted 3-step acne and blemish regimen to treat and help prevent mild to moderate acne breakouts. The GoClear line through its innovative formulation also helps address the hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration that can persist long after the blemish is gone.

The GoClear 3-step Acne and Blemish Regimen was developed under the direction of Dr. Alan R. Gottlieb, MD, MPH, GoClear’s founder and CEO, to treat acne sufferers of any age and skin type, and all skin tones. The concept behind the company’s ClearCulture™ Skincare design is that acne care products can and should be maximally effective, yet friendly to everyone regardless of age, skin type, or ethnicity, an inspiration that Dr. Gottlieb credits to his own mixed-ethnicity children.

GoClear accomplishes this by thoughtfully combining medicinal and high-grade active botanical ingredients in products that are all oil-free and allergy tested. They also do not contain alcohol, propylene glycol, PABA, lanolin, artificial dye or fragrance, ingredients that can be irritating especially to sensitive and darker pigmented skin, and that may lead to or prolong the dark spots that can linger after a blemish has been treated. GoClear does not formulate with benzoyl peroxide. GoClear believes that everyone should limit their exposure to irritating skin care ingredients.

In an independent clinical study of the GoClear Intensive Acne Treatment - Salicylic Acid 2% conducted on people of all skin tones (Fitzpatrick Scale I-VI), all panelists stated that the acne treatment easy to use, and a 66% improvement in acne severity was achieved after three weeks of use. By the end of the 6-week study 97% of all panelists had experienced a decrease in their total number of acne blemishes.

While the GoClear 3-Step Acne and Blemish Regimen is easy to use and effective, each product was designed for stand-alone use as well, or as a complement to an existing skin care program.
The centerpiece of the line, the GoClear Intensive Acne Treatment - Salicylic Acid 2%, is an over-the-counter acne treatment lotion containing maximum strength salicylic acid in both quick and sustained-release forms. Botanical and other natural ingredients help calm the skin and reduce the appearance of redness. It can be used by anyone of any age or skin type to treat persistent acne as well as an ‘emergency’ treatment for the occasional breakout.

Rounding out the 3-step acne and blemish regimen are a luxurious oil-free lathering gel cleanser and a light daytime moisturizer with SPF 15.

Active ingredient: Salicylic Acid 2%

The Whom You Know Beauty Panel put this to the test, and they commented:

I recently got the Go Clear 3-step acne treatment skin care. I love everything about it! I especially like the Intensive Acne treatment lotion that’s part of the 3-step process. After washing my face with the clarifying cleanser, I make sure to use the powerful lotion to keep my face clear and oil free. Its main component is salicylic acid, which is known to fight most acne. This powerful and easy to use lotion absorbs fairly quickly and leaves my skin smooth. In fact, after the first time using it, I had already seen a huge difference in the appearance of my skin! I had a pretty big pimple and after using the lotion, I noticed that the redness in the area was reduced. My pores were minimized and the size of the pimple was left pretty much unnoticeable! Its incredible how quickly it works, and I would recommend it to anyone battling acne!

People expect a lot out of acne products. They need to be effective, fast, non-drying, non-irritating miracle-workers in order to receive our satisfaction. Rarely does one product deliver on so many of these criteria. GoClear Intensive Acne Treatment does all this, without the use of the irritating ingredients that cause drying and brown spots. The second step in a three-step system, it provides immediate results. While it’s a stretch to say it works overnight, when applied at night, you’ll see a difference by the time you wake up in the morning. Given another few weeks you’ll see all of the good (clear skin, matte finish) and none of the bad (irritation, dryness, and brown spots). Even the most persistently blemish-prone skin will see a change.

I really love this product! Go Clear Intensive Acne Treatment rocks my world! I have tried so many other treatments and this one works best for me. I don't have crazy acne but I get the occasional breakout. I love that the treatment is a nice light cream. It doesn't have a chemical smell. I use it under my makeup and sunblock everyday. If I put the lotion on a blemish that night it's gone by morning. I will use this product over and over and over to keep my face looking clear as can be. My face now always has a photo-finished look to it.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
