Pros:

NOTHING.

Cons:

This is a product that should definitely never be used. I used this product at night and felt a burning sensation, but I thought it was normal. The next morning I used it again and my face was burning, red, swollen, and itchy. My eyes are still swollen shut from yesterday's use. I am a 16 year old girl with very light acne. This product burns your skin. If you are young and have sensitive skin, I would not recommend using this product. My face hurts really badly and it sucks

do not get this product. i tried many many products and i have never felt something burn so badly. this product is literally hell. do not use it. take my warning. i had a pimple, used this product, and now my whole face is red and inflamed and i cant even go out since it's so red and people keep asking me what happened. save yourself, and do not buy this product the side effects are terrible and my skin is dying

Pros:

-Will work for some skin types
-Makes skin feel clean and soft
-Light, gentle scent
-Feels good
-Controls oil

Cons:

-has phosphoric acid....
-occasionally will amplify redness
-somewhat harsh..
-can be a bit over-drying..

I do recommend this product, and I don't. -If you have versatile skin and you don't get reactions to anything, then this product will work for you. -If you have sensitive and/or very dry skin, i do not recommend this product. Your face will get a reaction. ALSO, USE THIS PRODUCT *ONLY* IF YOUR ACNE IS FROM MODERATE TO SEVERE. If you have light to very light acne, please use a gentle cleanser, like Neutrogena's fresh foaming cleanser. I find that works well with light acne :) so. This isn't the greatest clean and clear product for the general acne suffering public, but it will deliver results to certain people. whether you try this wash is up to you, but remember: normal-oily skin, yes. dry-sensitive skin, No. good luck!

Pros:

Immediately made my face feel super clean
Makes your skin feel fresh
Effective

Cons:

Loses effectiveness over time

I love this cleanser. I was using Murad's kit for about a month, and my skin never felt radiantly clean. The minute I washed my face with this wash again, I realized how much I'd missed it. I look forward to washing my face at night. Used with the advantage spot treatment, my acne has significantly cleared up. I've noticed it doesn't do much for blackheads, though. After using Murad, my jawline broke out in tons of blackheads. I'll probably pick up the blackhead eraser sometime soon.

Pros:

My face isn't completely clear but it's clearly better than what it was before ! i love the smell and the spot treatment isn't as strong as i would like but it still gets the job done . I also generally have oily skin and products that would dry my face out only made it worse which cause more break out, clean& clear doesn't and i LOVE it ! i put on the lotion aand in a bit my face is perfectly fine.

Cons:

My faces becomes dry

i love this product and i recommend it but after reading the other reviews i suggest everyone read the warning label on the back. Try it out maybe once a day or every other so that you know how it will effect you .

Pros:

It cleared my face a very little bit after the first time i used it. No major improvments.

Cons:

Two days after i started using it, my face became itchy and red. I have little red bumps all over my face and they sting!

This stuff sucks if you have sensitive skin. It looks like i have poision ivy on my face because of it. I'd rather just have acne than having acne and this red stuff!

Pros:

It helps clear breakouts
Makes your skin soft
Smells good

Cons:

It sometimes gives you pimples instead of preventing them.
Sometimes makes your skin dry

I liked it. was kind of iffy on it because ive tried clean and clear produts before and they didnt do anything for me. And ive since always used neutrogena. But then that started to not work well so i switched back over and i was surprised. After one day my pimples were less noticeable. So i do recommend it!!

Pros:

Has Cleared my face, makes it very less oily, great clean feeling, feels great.

Cons:

at one point i mistakenly forgot to wash off some of the cream, so i ended up somewhat "burning" the edge around my face and ears. (skin peeled - like a sunburn)

very happy with the results. but had to jump a few hurdles to get to it.

Pros:

it worked wonders on my blackheads and small blemishes

Cons:

it stung when i put it on, and eventually made my acne worse

if you dont have sensitive skin, and mild acne this would probably work well for you. for sensitive skin, with bad acne, it's better to see a doctor, because no matter what you pay, it will even out in the end.
