Pros:

I use this along with the other products in the Clean and Clear Acne Advantage Kit. I've been on Tazorac, Plexicon, the Pill, BenzaClin, and RetinA over the last 10 years and finally decided to try something over the counter. It works well!

This tingles a bit but I don't mind. it only takes a small amount in the morning and then again before bed time. it works extremely well with the other two products in the acne advantage control kit you can pick up for $20 total at any pharmacy. I am really very pleased with the results of this cleanser. often i use an eye make-up remover first (because you shouldn't use this on them) and then proceed with the cleanser. i am 23 yrs. old and would def. recommend this!

Pros:

Cleared my Face after about a month of Use

Cons:

Dries Skin

I did take a while for this to work, but at the end it did. it does dry your skin, but you could always use a moisturizer to help out with that.

Pros:

It smells good and feels good when using it.

Cons:

My face felt really dry and stretched out after using it. It dries up the face pretty bad. The area around my mouth, nose and mostly my T-zone are really dry and i have small rashes.

My face feels rough, i've seen no change with my acne.

Pros:

It smell nice and is pretty simple to use.

Cons:

It brought all my acne to the suface and sometimes dried out areas on face.

It get always get worst before it gets better. My skin got really smooth for a couple of days but, then that when the brake outs got worst. Then after skipping a day or two, it started working really good. And now I'm pretty much acne-free. You can't stop using because it looks bad. All it's doing is bring the pimples from under the skin to the surface so that it can fight it better. I just think that the other people here didn't give clean & clear a chance to get better after it got worst.

Pros:

It smells pleasant, and doesn't sting (for me).

Cons:

It doesn't really do what it claims to do. But I really should have been using a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyle peroixide (considering that i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide, I pretty much had given up at this point).

It's okay if you have VERY light acne... I advise that you just get the spot treatment and the moisturizer.

Pros:

smells ok and feels good going on

Cons:

It made my face so oily and dry and bumpy all at the same time.

I've never been so embarrassed about my face in my life. I've never had acne before until I found out I had Crohns Disease and had to be on steroids for a couple months. My face was bumpy but not that bad. Now since I've used the clean and clear advantage there is not a spot on my face that isn't bumpy. I don't like to even leave the house now. Who would of thought acne treatment could make acne soooo much worst. I wish I read these reviews before I used it. I'm going to try Neutrogena spotID next.
