Pros:

I went with my friend to go buy this, I started using it for a week and then I asked if my skin looked any different. She said it did, so I guess that's an improvement.

Cons:

After when I rinsed my face and patted my face with towel. I have sensitive skin. SO IT STARTS BURNING AND IT HURTS TO SMILE! My skin feels dry and irritated. But I use vaseline or a moisturizer after so it doesn't hurt that much.

It's okay, I wouldn't reccomend to anybody since I haven't been using it for quite that long yet.

Pros:

My skin feels smooth and soft after using.

Cons:

It can make skin feel tight if you don't moisturize.

I've used this product on and off for about a year and it does work when used as a combination treatment. At present I am taking 300mg of Trimethopim (Morning and night) and using Clean & Clear facial wash and Aderma moisturiser in the morning. On the evening I used Clean & Clear facial wash with a thin layer of Suedocrem (I mean THIN, like a small pea sized dot on both cheeks and forehead is enough) and then a layer of Nicam gel on the most affected areas - DO NOT APPLY ALL OVER THE FACE OR AFFECTED AREA BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT! You may find you break out alot more in the first few weeks but this is because all the impurities in your skin are being drawn out and it won't matter what treatment you use if it is working you will break out intially in the first 2 weeks, if it progressively gets worse then obviously stop treatment but give it at least 6 weeks. Also if you have severe acne scarring then I suggest buying a Aderma Zinc cream which soothes and calms infected areas.

Pros:

I LOVE THE SMELL! it's awesome.
Sorry guys i didn't put the price-- i don't remember how much it was..at all. I tried this in the first place because it has a 2% Salicylic Acid acne medication, and I heard that was an important formula, so i tried

Cons:

MADE MY FACE RED
sucks balls. I don't like it, at all. I have been fighting acne for about three years already, and I STILL have pretty damn severe acne. bumps, often pus filled pimples, LOADS of blackheads, redness, I JUST HATE IT!

this product sucks, like if you have crappy, oily skin in the T-ZONE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. No results, just probably some MORE redness. I don't think that Clean & Clear products work very well with my skin...my skin and C&C have issues together ha ha

Cons:

The ingredients in this facial cleanser are nothing new and extremely overpriced. It burned my skin when I first put it on and after using it for a week I had to stop because it I had an allergic reaction to this cleanser.

If you have sensitive skin do not use this product, I used it for about a week and my face turned bright red and my acne got even worse. I had to stop using anything on my face for a month or two because of the damagde this product caused. And honestly there are so many better options out there. Just washing your skin once or twice daily with a gentle cleanser can help just as much as this product.

Pros:

Cleared skin, faded blemishes a little, smells alright not overbearing, definitely improved skin on first day use, easy to get don't have to wait for it to be mailed just go to walmart or local drugstore

Cons:

Strong, not for everyone so don't get mad if it doesn't work for you because you may be allergic to it.

The only way to really make acne and skin better is to use one product or system consistently. Also drink water it really is good for the skin. (I used the Clean and Clear System.) Also I've heard a few times that if over a course of time of 6 months (plus) of using a product you will see great results (I know i have and still do). (Some people have bad results because of allergic reactions but don't even realize it) SO READ THE DIRECTIONS PEOPLE.

-reduces redness in just one day
-pimples are half the size within two days

Cons:

-dries out skin
-packages are small

Worth the price (which isn't bad)! My acne has cleared almost completely up in just about two weeks. Im so happy with this product! It's the only thing that has worked for me, I completely swear by it.

Pros:

made my skin less oily

Cons:

made my skin red and inflamed if i used it too long or too often

not very good, any you MUST use it twice a day EVERY DAY if you want any results at all...not the best thing I've tried
