Bought this product last week. After 1 day it seemed like it was working but then after a few more days the skin was extremely dry and peeling. More blemishes came in areas that there were none before. It is so bad that this morning I made an appointment for a dermatologist. Definitely do not recommend this product.

Pros

  • None

Cons

  • Severly dried my daughters skin.
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 25
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

I first used the product before I performed in a show, I had quite a few pimples on my face and I wanted them gone quickly. Disregarding the warning that said to not use very often if you have dry skin, I used it several times in a day. I noticed my skin peeling after the play I was in (thank goodness) So if you have dry skin, I recommend using this product lightly. Whenever I use the spot treatment, it peels away the skin where the pimple was and looks awful. It also creates scarring. Other than that, it makes my face clear within a couple days!

Pros

  • Works quickly; noticed decreased pimple size within one use.
  • Makes the skin feel clean and fresh.

Cons

  • Burns if you have openings on your skin.
  • Dries the pimple and leaves it peeling.
  • Leaves scars.
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 7.75
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I bought the little kit with a small bottle of moisturizer and the spot treatment and it worked a little bit, but not significantly. I wouldn't use it again, it just didn't work.

Pros

  • somewhat helps acne
  • feels good when it's on your face
  • makes skin feel clean

Cons

  • doesn't completely clear acne
  • doesn't prevent breakouts
  • moderately severe
  • for a few months
  • $ 8
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

I do recommend this product, and I don't.

If you have versatile skin and you don't get reactions to anything, then this product will work for you.

If you have sensitive and/or very dry skin, i do not recommend this product. Your face will get a reaction.

ALSO, USE THIS PRODUCT *ONLY* IF YOUR ACNE IS FROM MODERATE TO SEVERE. If you have light to very light acne, please use a gentle cleanser, like Neutrogena's fresh foaming cleanser. I find that works well with light acne :)

so. This isn't the greatest clean and clear product for the general acne suffering public, but it will deliver results to certain people.

whether you try this wash is up to you, but remember: normal-oily skin, yes. dry-sensitive skin, No.

good luck!

Pros

  • Will work for some skin types
  • Makes skin feel clean and soft
  • Light, gentle scent
  • Feels good
  • Controls oil

Cons

  • has phosphoric acid....
  • occasionally will amplify redness
  • somewhat harsh..
  • can be a bit over-drying..
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 8

This product is great! About 2 weeks ago I switched from ProActiv and so far it has worked miracles! My face isn't completely clear yet but it's definitely getting there. It's really cheap and because of it's great acne bacteria killing ingredients it workes amazing. My face is really oily but this product controls it perfectly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Pros

  • Smells good
  • Gets job done :)
  • Doesn't dry out face

Cons

  • Sometimes slight redness
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Cons

  • I recommend using this treatment.

after reading the reviews, i have realized that everyone with an unpostive experience had light to very light acne. i only suggest this product if you consistantly get acne and you need something strong, otherwise you might have a reaction. if your acne is that light, you should just be washing your face and using cetaphil anyway.

Pros

  • works

Cons

  • doesnt work immediatly
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 6.75
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I liked it. was kind of iffy on it because ive tried clean and clear produts before and they didnt do anything for me. And ive since always used neutrogena. But then that started to not work well so i switched back over and i was surprised. After one day my pimples were less noticeable. So i do recommend it!!

Pros

  • It helps clear breakouts
  • Makes your skin soft
  • Smells good

Cons

  • It sometimes gives you pimples instead of preventing them.
  • Sometimes makes your skin dry
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I used this product for about a week and saw pretty good results. Pimples were drying out and cysts were decreasing in size although after about 2 weeks to a month i realised that each pimple that emerged would dry out and disappear but red scars were left in their place. I started getting breakouts in places that i usually don't (chin area) and i felt like it spread the acne. I feel like every time i use it the scars get redder and redder and more pimple emerge in their place.

Bottom line: If this product feels too harsh on your skin switch to cetaphil. I thinks it almost the same just better.

Bottom Bottom line: Don't use it if you have a problem with scarring. I feel it just increases the redness of them.

Pros

  • * Stops pimples and cysts from emerging.
  • * Stops skin from getting oily.
  • * Dries out pimples.
  • * Good consistency (not too much has to be applied to cover the whole face).
  • * Leaves skin feeling soft.

Cons

  • * Can dry out skin.
  • * Can cause skin to be slightly itchy.
  • * Doesn't help with scarring.
  • moderate
  • $ 9
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

I like to think my skin is pretty versatile, never had a bad reaction to any creams/cleansers etc.

However, the first time I used this I had a slight tingling on my face. I didn't think anything of it as I assumed that was the product working. I used it again the following day. As soon as I rinsed it off my face felt like it was on fire.

My whole face swelled up, my eyes were swollen almost shut (they stayed that way for TWO DAYS). I had loads of red bumps on my chin and cheeks, and the skin on my face felt like someone had set it on fire!!! I took anti histamines which only helped a little.

I last used it on Friday (it's tuesday now) and I'm STILL suffering the effects, My skin is dry, cracked and feels like leather. It's starting to peel off too. Moisturizer doesn't seem to be helping at all. Oh and although it's peeled a lot of my skin off I still have the spots!! Useless!

I really regret using this and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE because of this possible side effect! If I could give it 0/5 I would've!

Pros

  • NONE!

Cons

  • Very aggressive treatment!
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.
