Pros Dries up acne
Makes skin clearer
Dries fast so you won't have to wait an eternity for it to dry.
Cons A bit stinky
I don't really like the smell
Makes your face stiff but I kind of like that
Bottom line It's my 3th day trying it so I have to wait a bit to see the improvements. I went to walmart and it was on sale so I bought it to try and right know, it kind of works. My acne is still there but I guess it is better than before. I got it for a steel!

Pros Skin much less oily
Tightens pores
Acne free within weeks
Cons Extremely drying
Initial breakout
Bottom line Alright, so I have incredibly oily skin that nothing can seem to control for more than two hours before I have to blot - with the exception of this. I'm amazed at how well this has improved my skin in less than a month. I can go nearly 4 hours before I have to blot, and nearly 6 before I need to do any retouching of my makeup! I had an initial break out, but those zits vanished pretty quickly. I also started using WAY TOO MUCH of this product at first, which caused my skin to look dry and scaly for the first week. Please use sparingly and only once at night! Once you find how much your skin can tolerate before it becomes too dry, I promise you will love this product if you're using it properly. Make sure you have a good moisturizer as well!

Pros - The price is great
- It actually works
- Made a few of my pimples noticeably smaller within a day of usage
Cons - Drys up skin if you use WAY too much
Bottom line I've seen a huge difference so far, so I'm thinking this product actually works. I would recommend using a good moisturizer though (I use garnier moisture rescue) if you don't it'll feel awkward and dry up your skin a bit.

Pros Dries out your pimples, makes them just fall off after 2 days or so. It does peel your skin and exposes new skin (can be good in moderation).
Cons Dries out your skin like hell! I have super oily skin and I had peeling and it was a bit painful to open my mouth because of cracked skin at times. Use ONLY as spot treatment.
Bottom line Very effective for pimples, but don't apply it just like that, all over. Apply Clearasil only on pimples, not healthy skin. Also, start using that stuff gently (best on a Friday night), so it'll go through the slight reddening and irritation and be done with that by Monday. Don't use more than twice a day and use moisturizer! Don't forget the moisturizer part, please. Don't expect immediate results, but after a week, progress is probable. The tinting on mine was brownish and made my face look badly tanned, so I guess it was designed for slightly darker skin (Latinos and such), so if you are not so tanned, use it at home and only overnight.

Pros Works, and fast
Helps conceal pimples during the day because it's white (it doesn't really totally vanish)
Not sticky, not oily
Cons A bit drying but not intolerable, can be fixed by oil-free moisturizer
Quite difficult to spread since it dries so quickly
Bottom line I like it, it works for me. I broke out horribly a couple of weeks ago. Multiple cystic nodules all over my face, probably because of all the BB creams I've been trying. Last week I started using this twice or even thrice a day, and my skin has been steadily clearing up since. I hope in another week's time my pimples will be completely gone.

Pros It can Reduce zits size
Cons It irritates skin A LOT ! Also, it dries skin, leaves white residue, and bleaches eyebrows... Keep it away form your hair
Bottom line I wouldn´t recommend it unless you have cyctic acne, VERY oily skin and your zits are giant-sized. Only for severe acne, otherwise use the %5 one when you get a breakout.
