Fitglow Beauty AGE CLEAR LINE Skincare Review (Oily, Combo, Acne, & Blemish Prone Skin)
Raise your hand if your skin isn’t blemish free 🙋🏻♀️.
As someone who has dealt with acne for many years, I have tried a myriad of products to try and combat it. It’s frustrating not to have perfect skin (especially when my hormones make me breakout once a month), so I’m fairly open to trying any acne-banishing product so long as it works.
I discovered Fitglow’s AGE CLEAR products while perusing online one day, and was intrigued. They are touted as a cruelty-free, gluten free, and vegan brand, which are all qualities which I look for in my skincare.
I have been using all three of the products for the past 30 days, without pause. Detailed below are my impressions of the brand’s blemish banishing line. Read on to discover my thoughts!
Detox Cleanser
When I first tried this cleanser, I really disliked it. I used it twice a day, and it made my skin feel very tight, to the point that it sounded squeaky when I rubbed it. However, after a week of discontinuing usage, I gave it another try.
I am so pleased I did, as the cleanser did improve my complexion. Since I have sensitive skin, I found that using it once a day was a workable solution. It does tingle a bit, but it’s not unpleasant. The bottle lasts a long time, as only one pump of the product is required for the entire face.
In regards to smell and texture, the Detox Cleanser has a fresh scent, akin to peppermint. It also spreads evenly on the face, with no dreaded “stickiness”. It even lathers nicely, despite a lack of sulphates (yay!).
Willow bark, one of the star ingredients in this cleanser, works similarly to salicylic acid for the skin. Personally, I did find an overall reduction in the severity of my breakouts after using this product.
In general, despite being initially unsure, I have come to love this cleanser. It’s an effective and powerful for blemish prone skin. It certainly delivered results to my skin!
I want to note that I have repurchased this cleanser twice since originally trying it out. It worked great for me!

Age Clear Serum Pads
In conjunction with the Fitglow Beauty Detox Cleaner, I’ve been using the Fitglow Beauty Age Clear Serum Pads.
These pads come pre-soaked in blemish-fighting ingredients, such as willow bark, MSM, and - my personal favourite - colloidal silver. Although some skincare experts contain contrasting opinions in regards to colloidal silver, it’s an ingredient that my Medical Aesthetician suggest I look for in anti-acne products. I personally have found that it’s a powerful ingredient in the fight against blemishes, especially in these serum pads.
The pads are easy to use, and their textured surface supposedly exfoliates the skin, as well. I quite like the scent, which I would describe as fresh and floral.
The Serum Pads are very potent, and I only use them once a day. I always make sure to wring them out after my initial application, in order to get the most out of them.
My only issue with these pads is that I am unsure of their sustainability. I am trying to gradually become 100% waste-free with my skincare routine, so I dislike having to throw these out every time I use them.
I have been generally impressed with Fitglow Beauty’s natural and clean approach to beauty, so I wonder if there would be a way to make these pads more eco-friendly.
Despite that, I do think these serum pads are effective, and have helped in the reduction of my acne.

Age Clear Lotion
The final product from the AGE CLEAR LINE I tested was the Fitglow Beauty Age Clear Lotion.
The cream doesn’t sting, and it also contains anti-inflammatory and acne-fighting ingredients, which seemed to work well in conjunction with the cleanser and serum pads.
This moisturizer spread beautifully on my skin, and dried down matte. It was very easy to layer SPF and makeup on top of it, which is a huge plus!
It has a lovely floral / vanilla scent, that isn’t too overpowering. Only one pump was needed to use on my entire face.
Something that is nice about this lotion is that it isn’t oily at all, which should make it pleasant to use on skin with excessive oiliness. I personally have combo skin, and I found it adds a nice degree of moisture, even to the more dry areas of my face.
I found this product helpful, and it complemented the other items in the line beautifully.

Final Thoughts
Overall, I am impressed with Fitglow Beauty’s AGE CLEAR Line. As someone with blemish and acne-prone skin, it has been nice to see an improvement in my complexion. I have noticed that my acne has reduced significantly since using this line, which is something that excites me greatly! Not many acne-fighting products can deliver real results, but this one did just that for me. (Unfortunately, I didn’t take a "before and after photo to show my results!)
Keeping in mind that each person has specific skincare needs, these products are worth a try if you have blemish-prone skin. Fitglow Beauty offers a “travel-sized” set of all three of these products, which is a good way to try them out at a fraction of the cost.
Great job, Fitglow Beauty! I am excited to try out some more of their products in the future.
