Many women who prefer to take care of themselves on their own confidently claim that the “Clean Line” face cream is a budget product that actively affects skin problems. An expensive drug does not always have the desired effect on the dermis and lead to the desired results. Often, cheap formulations are able to provide the epidermal tissue with the necessary substances, preserve youth, and enrich it with moisture. Let's try to understand the main advantages and disadvantages of the most common means.
Brand Features
“Clean Line” is deservedly considered one of the most popular domestic brands. The products of this cosmetic company have many advantages:
- natural ingredients made from pure raw materials collected in the forests and fields of the country;
- laboratory testing of each type of product to identify shortcomings;
- regular improvement of composition formulas;
- mandatory dermatological control of each drug;
- availability and low cost.
The manufacturer uses more than three dozen plant extracts and extracts to make products. The presence of natural ingredients allows the compositions to be used on skin prone to allergic reactions.
For what skin is the face cream gel with pomegranate from Clean Line suitable?
The developers position this product as moisturizing and nourishing for normal and combination skin. It simultaneously eliminates flaking, gives the face a radiant appearance and mattifies oily areas on the face. The product is intended for young skin and does not contain anti-aging components. The composition of the product is also pleasing: the cream contains plant extracts such as chamomile, pomegranate, aloe and macadamia oil.
So, how effective is this product and what do cosmetologists and consumers think about it?
Review of popular lines

Important! Even the most harmless cosmetics, if chosen incorrectly, can harm the dermis. To prevent problems, it is better to go to a cosmetologist in advance and find out what exactly your skin needs.
Consistency and smell
Aqua face cream Pure Line Instant matte “Ideal Skin” has an incredibly pleasant and delicate scent. It seemed to me that there were notes of citrus, mint and melon. This combination of fragrances is definitely a plus for the manufacturer.
The texture of the serum is very light and white. In its consistency it is even closer to a fluid than to a cream. The photo below shows that the serum spreads easily. And that's just wonderful. It is a pleasure to apply this composition to the skin.
"Perfect Skin"
The peculiarity of the “Ideal Skin” series is its active effect on various defects of the dermis. The preparations are able to provide complete skin care, while simultaneously actively affecting rashes, acne, blackheads, and hyperpigmentation. The cream eliminates greasy, untidy shine, completely absorbing into the epidermal tissue and affecting the problem.
The active component present in the brand’s line is zinc, which has many positive qualities:
- cleansing of pores, regulation of the sebaceous glands;
- protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation;
- improvement of skin tone;
- alignment of the facial relief;
- slowing down the aging process.
The results of using the cream can be seen after just three days of use. New acne does not appear, and the rash is significantly reduced. Unlike drugs that require additional funds, the cream copes with defects on its own, but provided that it is used regularly - it should not be stopped until the problem is completely eliminated.
Review of products from the “Ideal Skin” line
More details about each
There are five cosmetic products in the “Ideal Skin” series. It is not necessary or even necessary to buy all of them. But it is advisable to create a set of 3-4 products so that they complement and enhance each other’s effects. Let's take a closer look at each of them.
"Perfect skin 5 in 1"
A universal and, in a sense, unique tool that works in five directions. The manufacturer promises after its use:
- high-quality cleansing and narrowing of pores;
- refreshing and evening out complexion;
- elimination of acne and blackheads;
- reduction of inflammation and the number of rashes;
- eliminating oily shine.
According to consumer reviews, the 5-in-1 gel-scrub-mask really provides such results, even after the first use. Of course, the ideal skin condition is still far away, but the visually positive effect is noticeable immediately, which is nice.
The drug is prepared on the basis of kaolin and is best suited for oily, combination and problem skin.
It uses one hundred percent the healing properties of white clay: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, adsorbing and drying, which are enhanced by white tea extract, which stimulates cell regeneration and tones the skin.
"Instant matte"
An aqua cream with a light consistency is created specifically for oily skin, which promises to ensure the absence of unpleasant shine for 12 hours. Frankly speaking, the manufacturer slightly exaggerated here. On normal skin this effect is really noticeable, but with very high oil content it lasts a maximum of 5-6 hours. However, this is enough if you apply the product immediately before going outside.
The cream is a lightweight emulsion and is absorbed almost instantly, without clogging pores or leaving a filmy feeling. Hypoallergenic, has a pleasant, very light herbal aroma.
Contains plant extracts, glycerin, multivitamin complex. It’s weak for mature skin, but for young skin it’s just what you need.
Cream active
Intended for spot or local use, the manufacturer recommends it as an effective acne remedy. Contains:
- aloe vera extract – quickly relieves inflammation, deeply moisturizes the skin, stimulates cell regeneration;
- zinc oxide – it is what dries out acne and narrows enlarged pores, creating unfavorable conditions for pathogenic microorganisms;
- herbal tea - soothes, smoothes and nourishes the skin, evening out its texture and preventing the formation of residual marks and spots.
Reviews about this product are very positive; already on the third day of its use, the number of rashes noticeably decreases. It even copes with deep subcutaneous acne, although not immediately.
Cream-gel
Multivitamin cream-gel for the face “Ideal Skin” is suitable for daily care of normal, combination and problem dermis. Its super light consistency makes it easy to apply makeup on.
It does not clog pores at all, does not leave behind an oily sheen, and gives an instant result, expressed in moisturizing and smoothing the skin.
The effect is ensured by the high content of plant extracts of pomegranate and chamomile. Pomegranate for the skin is a real vitamin bomb with powerful anti-aging properties. It neutralizes the negative effects of free radicals, protects against cell destruction and slows down the aging process. Chamomile relieves inflammation, soothes and softens the skin.
Lotion-tonic
Although it is labeled as an anti-blackhead lotion, it can also be used for preventive purposes on normal skin. It is not recommended only for dry and very sensitive skin, as it contains zinc, which has a tightening effect.
The product does not contain alcohol, perfectly cleanses and smoothes the epidermis, gently removing keratinized dead cells from its surface, restoring the acid and hydrolipid balance. Designed for daily use after washing or removing makeup.
Cleansing
The line of drugs designed to cleanse the dermis has one feature. The active component of each product is micellar water. It is this ingredient that helps cleanse the skin of dermis particles, dust, and dirt. The surface of the face begins to renew itself, and simultaneously with this process, the main defects disappear - peeling, dryness, pigment spots. The sebaceous glands reduce activity, which allows you to get rid of the untidy fatty layer on the dermis.
In addition to micellar water, the composition includes plant components - extracts and extracts. The raw materials used are:
- lingonberry leaves;
- rose petals;
- aloe stems and leaves;
- chamomile inflorescences.
The natural composition is harmless to the skin, it can be used on overly sensitive, allergy-prone dermis.
Age programs
For each age, the brand has developed special formulas that provide the skin tissue with everything it needs. “Clean Line” offers special formulations for five age categories, starting from 25 years. Each product contains plant extracts among its components, which carefully enrich the dermal cells with vitamins, nutrients and moisturizing substances. At the same time, the face is protected from the adverse effects of weather conditions - frost, bright sun, wind.
The age-specific program, intended for young women, contains components that saturate with moisture, which is necessary precisely at this age. For owners of mature skin, special formulas have been developed that, while moisturizing and enriching them with nutrients, can tighten the skin, eliminate age-related defects and maintain the effect of youth.

Anti-aging care: cream “Clean Line” “Impulse of Youth”
The initial signs of age-related skin changes are:
- decrease in its elasticity;
- loss of moisture;
- deterioration of complexion.
It is to combat these problems that the “Impulse of Youth” series was developed. The mechanism of action of the products from this line is based on capsule rejuvenation technology. This means that extracts of beneficial plants are contained in microcapsules. They penetrate deep into the cells through the lipid layer of the epidermis, moisturizing the skin, restoring youth and beauty to it.
The series includes two age complexes of cosmetics from 35 years and 45 years.
It is important to consider your age when choosing a cream, since products from each “Impulse of Youth” subseries have different plant compositions and have different effects on the skin.
The “Impulse of Youth” series from 35 years old includes day and night cream. One drop of each such cream contains up to 10 thousand microcapsules with akebia extract inside - a rare plant that has a pronounced effect of slowing down aging.
The composition of the products from the “Impulse of Youth” series from 45 years and older from “Clean Line” has a slightly different composition. The day cream contains iris extract, as well as ginseng, edelweiss, and grape seed oil. Extracts and oils of the rare iris plant are unique in their ability to retain moisture and nutrients within the skin. Night cream “Clean Line” from this series has an equally pronounced effect.
Despite the fact that, according to research results, the number of wrinkles in 50 women who regularly used this cream decreased by 54% in 3 weeks, customer reviews are contradictory. Only half of them were satisfied with the products from this series. Others called them ineffective.
The most popular creams from the series
Despite the number of drugs offered by Clean Line, many women have already decided on the most effective formulations. The products allow you to actively care for the dermis without resorting to more expensive brands.
"Smart cream"
Has a triple effect on the skin. The product simultaneously nourishes, makes the face elastic, and tightens the contours. The face cream simultaneously contains more than 10 varieties of herbs, including clover, which has an active effect on inflammatory processes. Thanks to this, you can use the drug on problematic dermis. Recommended to use twice a day.
"Active against acne"
Recommended by cosmetologists to combat rashes. The drug can cope with acne and inflammatory processes in the dermis. The results are noticeable after three days of use, but you should not stop using the cream until the rash is completely gone. Apply the product only after cleansing in a thin, even layer. It is imperative to carry out acupressure, allowing aggressive components to penetrate the layers of the dermis and actively influence the source of inflammation that causes the rash.
"Humidification"
To moisturize and get rid of blackheads and flaking, you can use a tonic lotion from the “Ideal Skin” series. The product contains quite aggressive components, so use it with caution on sensitive skin. Cosmetologists recommend combining the use of lotion with soothing creams from the “Power of 5 Herbs” series.
BB cream “Ideal skin”
The drug is recommended for use on all types of dermis for intensive nutrition, relief smoothing, and comprehensive care. The product acts like a scrub, gently exfoliating the keratinized particles of the epidermis, leaving after use perfectly smooth and healthy skin. Can be used at any age - the herbal composition will not harm even sensitive or dry dermis. A prerequisite for using the drug is to thoroughly cleanse your face first using lotion or special foam. It is recommended to apply to the skin once a day.
It’s not for nothing that “Clean Line” is considered one of the most common brands, because the cosmetic company has made sure that the skin at any age receives only the necessary substances.
