Can using Clearz Plus affect my skin negatively? I have some pimple scars on my cheeks, and my skin tends to be oily.

Clearz Plus, containing salicylic acid and tea tree oil, can be beneficial for oily skin and pimple scars, but start with a small patch test to check for any adverse reactions, and use it as directed, as excessive use can lead to dryness, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Potential Irritation: Kojic acid and ascorbic acid may cause mild irritation or redness, especially if your skin is sensitive. Use sparingly and monitor your skin's response.
Sun Sensitivity: These ingredients can increase sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
Oily Skin Consideration: Clearz Plus is generally suitable for oily skin. If you notice increased oiliness or breakouts, adjust usage or consult a dermatologist.
Patch Test: Conduct a patch test on a small area before full application to check for adverse reactions.

If irritation persists or new breakouts occur, discontinue use and seek advice from a skincare professional.
