Lilyvera expert score · based on hands-on testing and specialist review

Kiehl's Expertly Clear lotion is a light daily treatment for breakout-prone skin. Salicylic acid for clearing pores pairs with niacinamide for balancing skin in one fluid formula — a pairing that treats breakouts and moisturizes lightly at once.

Kiehl's Expertly Clear lotion is a light treatment for skin prone to breakouts and visible pores. Its fluid texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin looking smoother and more even — a daily companion for cleaner, more balanced-looking skin throughout the day.

Benefits

Reduces the look of breakouts and pores — a more even skin surface — controls shine — a clean, light feeling

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this lotion is one of the smarter picks for oily, acne-prone skin; the salicylic acid and niacinamide work together without the harsh dryness that can come with it. The one thing to note: dry skin may need more hydration alongside it, and those sensitive to salicylic acid should be cautious.

How to use

Morning and night after cleansing, apply a thin layer over the whole face, with extra care on breakout-prone areas. Pair with sunscreen during the day.

Key ingredients

Salicylic acid, niacinamide, oil-balancing plant extracts

Suitable for

Suited to oily, breakout- and pore-prone skin
