This post has been long coming. Firstly, I have used so many skin care products in my lifetime, lol. I truly see myself as an inquisitive person because I love to try out new stuff. Call me a lab rat if you so wish. Anyway, because I can say that I pretty much have oily skin, it's prone to getting breakouts often. I try to keep this at bay with ingredients like Salicylic acid. So far, I have used products like The Ordinary Salicylic acid and La Roche Posay and absolutely loved them. This time around I am giving the Nuskin clear action day treatment a go, it's been worth it, in terms of both price and effectiveness.
As a compliment, I add The ordinary Retinol 1% in squalane to my skincare routine with this item and I love my skin as always, it's glowing. If you were to go for the whole set, which is cheaper, then the night treatment contains Salicylic acid, retinol, and Alpha Lipoic acid. In my own words, that's like heaven on a platter of gold. This set of four items contain all the ingredients you need to achieve that clear and smooth skin.

Comparison to The Ordinary Salicylic acid 2%
The Ordinary Salicylic acid is the same size as the Nuskin Clear action, which is 30 ml each. However, the consistency, as well as the ingredients, are very different. For starters, the salicylic acid as the name implies contains mainly salicylic acid, while the Nu skin clear action contains more active ingredients. Secondly, although both gels are clear, the Nu skin is thicker and is in a tube, and not in a dropper bottle like that of The Ordinary. Lastly, the Nu skin clear action day treatment lasts longer (I have barely used a quarter of my tube now and it has been almost 3 weeks of use).

The main ingredients and actions of Nuskin Clear action day treatment
- Salicylic acid, an AHA that penetrates the pores and clears the skin of dirt and oil, and fades spots
- Mandelic acid, a BHA with similar actions as salicylic acid
- White tea extract is an antioxidant which protects the skin and gives it an even complexion.
How to use
It's best if used together as a set. However, the general steps are;
- Cleanse your face with warm water and a cleanser
- Tone the face and neck using a cotton pad and a suitable toning solution for your skin type.
- Nu skin clear action Day treatment, a little amount goes a long way.
- If available, apply a sunscreen afterward.
My honest thoughts on the Nu Skin Clear Action Day Treatment
One downside I would say that scares off people from Nuskin products may be the high price, but I must admit that they do their work. Also, buying the items as a set is much cheaper than separately.
I enjoy using this particular item, it has a nice scent and gives the skin a glossy and matte feel and finish. My skin has been breakout-free since I switched to using it.

As always, thanks for reading peeps.
Yours in the flawless skin journey, Nafisah NK
