If you have problems with acne, then you have undoubtedly tried a few different topical ointments and medications. These ointments and acne treatment systems are not hard to find. If you go into any pharmacy, Wal-Mart, Walgreens or supermarket, then you are going to find products that claim to be able to rid you of your acne problems. Most use a three part system to eliminate the oil, tone the skin and moisturize to protect from dryness. Proactive, AcneFree and now even TriClear use the three pronged attack against acne.
When you first visit the website www.triclear.com, and then click on "success stories," you will see pictures of people before they used the system and then a later shot after they used the system. You will also see that the creator, a Dr. Brian Keller, PhD, gives testimony about how his patented system works better than any other system on the market. It is an easy system to use. Step one is to wash with the cleanser. Step two is to use the repairing gel. Step three is to use the revitalizing cream.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information on the sales page. But it does have a nice, huge box where you get a free trial offer. You fill out the information and give them your credit card number so they can bill you the shipping and handling. But notice the little box of "Terms and Conditions" that you have to check in order to proceed. It clearly states that if you are not satisfied with the product, then you can return it during the 14 day free trial and get your money back. But wait, there is something more. If you do not cancel, then they will automatically ship the system to you at a 30% discount because you are a valued customer. You get to be in the Platinum Rewards Program.
TriClear suffers from the same problem that many other "free" products on the market now try to hook you with. The small print shows that you will be billed $69.96 plus $6.95 every 30 days if you do not cancel the membership. This is where customers get irate and have posted on various consumer complaint boards. They have tried to cancel by calling the company but it seems as if they either get the run around or there is a message stating that the business is closed (even if it is during their posted business hours). Your best bet is to take a pass on this product and try something off the shelf. It may not be a scam but it certainly seems like more trouble than it is worth.
