Pros:

smells ok?

Cons:

leave skin really dry

I was searching for the Neutrogena for men Acne Face Wash and didnt found it (because they had changed the look of the bottle), so I bought this because it has the same "specs". I know Salicylic can make the skin a bit dry but this cleanser is really worse than the neutrogena one. The week I used it, small bumps apparead all over my face... I gave it a try for 1 week and then to the garbage. Just dont buy it.

it gets rid of oil, but it really dries out the skin. for the first week, i used it once a day. then i used it twice a day and my skin got really dry and unbearably itchy. ive gone back to using it only once a day and theres no problems with dryness and it still works great. i still get breakouts but it helps keep them small.

Pros:

Forehead is now acne free

Cons:

after 2 days i have a dry face, with a itchy feeling with skin peeling, if i dont use it daily the acne comes back

Going to give it 1 week but why do the cons happen?

Pros:

Nada . . . 0

Cons:

I used it once and my skin flipped out!
First my face dried out to the point of cracking, my skin then turned very red inflamed and painful. It itches horribly!
I've tried some benadryl, but it doesn't seem to be helping. All i can do now is sit here with a cold towel on my face . . .

It might work for some, but not for me . . . My skin has never been sensitive, and I have never had any allergies . . . I would not suggest this to anyone, unless you're willing to accept the possible side effects.

Pros:

My skin was ok! I mean, it had a lot of off days, when it was really bad! After ONE DAY of using it, the redness went down and they got smaller!

Cons:

I may not help everybody, and the container is small, so it may run of quickly!

Bottom Line is, It TOTTALLY WORKS! I was going to try Proactive, but i read a whole bunch of negative reviews! Clean and Clear HELPED SO much!

Pros:

After using clean and Clear, I noticed that in a day my acne starting loseing it's redness, and it really did reduce the size of my acne.

Cons:

It doesn't work as fast as it says, but it does work fast, and does get rid of acne.

This is by far the best acne product, it reduces size and redness, and zaps away your acne. It clears up acne, black heads, and white heads. You notice a lot of difference in only a week of using clean and clear. I reccomend it to anyone with light to moderate servere acne.

Pros:

I love Clean and Clear! My acne was really bad and all over my face and within a week it was all gone! I would definately recommend this to anyone with bad acne. I tried Proactive, but it dried out my skin and stung, and Clean and Clear is amazing.

Cons:

I thought it was a little expensive at first, but now I realize it is definately worth the price. The bottles are a little small, but it is okay, I guess. There aren't really any real cons.

I LOVE it! It is a miracle worker.

Pros:

smells nice and somewhat clears my existing acne

Cons:

does tend to dry skin out some

I have been using the cleanser and the astringent for about a week now and I am going to purchase the moisturizer and see how all three work together. My current routine seems to clear existing acne somewhat but doesn't seem to prevent outbreaks very well...but like I said, I am going. I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it because everyone's skin is different, but I'm not giving up on it yet.

Pros:

Works fairly fast. Doesn't irritate the first time and I have sensitive skin.

Cons:

I personally am not a fan of the smell but it could be worse. It says you can use it 2 times a day after a minute but it hurt the day I did it twice.

Works suprisingly well and fast.

Pros:

Not sure

Cons:

Can make skin feal tight
smells wierd

I boughtthis prduct a ocuple of months ago to treat my acne. I have pimples on my forhead and chin and I have balckheads on my chin nose around nose and forhead. It basically didnt help with my acne, since I have acne at the moment. It didnt my skin too dry but if you have snsitive skin it probably will. Bottom line : It didnt clear my face
