I tend to avoid products for acne for a couple of reasons. The first is that, while I am prone to breakouts, I don't actually have acneic skin so I always figured that I could deal with my breakouts without using acne products. The second is that reason why I wanted to deal with my breakouts another way, and that's that a lot of acne products I've used in the past damaged my moisture barrier and left my skin dry, irritated and sensitive with the texture of alligator skin. Anyone else?

Anyway, I was eager to try out the Paula's Choice CLEAR Acne Trial Kit* for a few reasons. The first was that the season change was having an effect on my skin and I was finding myself with more small breakouts than usual. The second was that I heard some good reviews about a couple of these products from people that I trust about skin care. And finally, I just love Paula's Choice and haven't found many products from the brand that I haven't enjoyed. 

Anyway, for my thoughts on this line of products, keep reading.
