Most people don’t think twice about the towel they use on their face. But the truth is, traditional towels can hold onto bacteria, residue, and rough textures that aren’t doing your skin any favors. Clean Towels® change that with dermatologist-approved, single-use face towels that are clinically tested to support specific skin goals.
So, which option fits your skin best—Blemish Control or Healthy Aging?
If your main concern is excess oil, clogged pores, or non-inflamed breakouts, this version is for you. These Clean Towels are extra-thick with a raised-dot texture that gives a gentle exfoliating boost while keeping your routine hygienic.
- Clinical results: In just 3 weeks, participants saw less oil and redness, with more than 90% noticing clearer-looking skin.
- Best for: Oily or combination skin, teens and adults prone to congestion, or anyone who wants a cleaner alternative to washcloths that might make breakouts worse.
For skin that needs hydration and barrier support, these towels are treated with glycerin—a proven humectant that helps lock in moisture. They’re ultra-soft, making them gentle enough for sensitive or mature skin.
- Clinical results: In a 12-week study, participants aged 40–65 reported firmer, plumper, more radiant skin.
- Best for: Anyone focused on maintaining skin hydration, reducing visible signs of aging, or supporting barrier health. They’re also a smart pick for inflamed acne, where a softer touch matters.
The Takeaway...
Choose Blemish Control if your top goal is clearer-looking skin and oil reduction.
Choose Healthy Aging if your focus is hydration, barrier strength, or a softer option for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Sometimes the smallest swaps—like what you use to dry your face—make the biggest difference in keeping your results on track.
