Pros:

-FAST Results
-Cheap
-Gentle
-Cleared my face completely
-Not drying
-Nice Packaging
-Easy to use
-Feels clean on your skin
-Cleared my entire face in less than a week

Cons:

-The smell is different, but nothing you don't get used to.
-The consistancy is pretty liquidy but for these great results, who really cares?

I've used Clean and Clear's Acne Advantage cleanser for about 3 years now, but when I went to 4 different drug stores I came to the conclusion that it wasn't in prpuduction anymore. Well, obviously I had to find a substitute and FAST because I have just about the most sensitive, break-out prone skin in the world. I saw this in a local Grocery Store, saw it contained 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and decided to get it. Let me tell you, BEST decision I've ever made. My face is the smoothest, most radiant it's been since I was really little. I went out of the house without face makeup on for the first time in years, and felt as confident as ever. This stuff is a miracle, I absolutely love it. Honestly, I'd say to ignore the bad reviews because they're just not true. This stuff is AMAZING. I highly reccomend it.

Pros:

Affordable
Fast results
Nice consistency
Helps oily skin
Prevents acne

Cons:

It will dry out your skin unless its naturally oily like mine

It completely cleared up my skin within the first 2 weeks of using it and i haven't had any bad breakouts since. There is also a spot treatment in this brand which works very good as well.

Pros:

Prevents future acne
Fast results
Easy to use
Creamy consistency
Good price

Cons:

Leaves skin dry
Poors out of bottle fast, be careful

I give this product 5 stars because it got rid of my acne completely, the only time I get zits is one zit when I'm on my period (impossible to not happen for me). It does leave your skin dry, but if you have oily skin like me thats a good thing!!! Just use an oil free moisturizer & you're set. I also use OXY's spot lotion all over my face at night and if you have zits it dries them up over night. GOOD STUFF =) try it!

Pros:

-very cheap and gentle
-doesn't leave a residue like cream BP
-cleans makeup off just fine
-doesn't make my skin dry
-doesn't make me sensitive to sun
-cleared bacne quickly (2 weeks)
-doesn't bleach my towels
-slowly has been clearing me up (6-7 weeks)

Cons:

-very liquidy, so it leaks when you open it.. just always keep the bottle upsidedown and it's fine
-has taken 6-7 weeks to really clear me up
-purging process gave me some cystic acne

my acne progressivey got worse my first year of college despite constant exercise and a vegetarian diet. so I started using oxy in conjunction with ortho tri-cyclen lo birth control as a dermatologist's recommendation. so does it work? yes! with patience and a good toner and moisturizer i'm finding that my skin is clearing up (almost perfect now!) and everywhere on my face i have improvement. because of the purging process i had, not only pimples, but all of my blackheads are disappearing. I noticed almost every pore of mine became a small blackhead that i could either squeeze out, or let become a zit. even those stubborn ones on my lip-line are gone! though i really hated getting more acne before seeing results. it forced every pore on my face to get rid of everything- but since i've had a zit there, that patch of skin has remained beautifully clear. that's the best way to explain it. i definitely wanted to give up on it after 3 weeks when it only seemed to make me worse though. and it does very little for the red marks left after acne, so treat those however you usually do. and clay masks work very well after washing with this stuff. leave them on overnight and you'll notice a big difference. also, on my back, with daily use, i had no purging process, and it cleared completely after two weeks. i love that because it's bikini season, b*tches! lasty, i want to mention that it has changed my skintype. i've always been very dry and using topical BP. since switching to a wash, my skin is more normal or even a bit oily sometimes. which i actually appreciate! no more flakes! and if i forget lotion, i'm not royally screwed. so OVERALL for those SKIMMING reviews.. yes, this will definitely help, but be patient. it's helping a lot more than topical BP, especially now with prevention. though for me it wasn't quite as fast as everyone else who's reviewing this. the most important part is to realize you have to judge

Pros:

Started working right away.
No smell.
Affordable.

Cons:

It does dry your skin out very easily.

I've only been using it for around three or four days now and I noticed a difference right away. I had a very painful cyst on my chin and now it's barely there. I think in another few days my skin will be clear. I do not have acne all the time, but when I break out, I break out well and all over. I'll defiantly be purchasing this again.
