Pros:

Please Read Press Clipping typed from my Grand'Daughter Casie in her High School "Junior Class" East Central HC

Cons:

to be continued... how can I send you the rest of my grand'daughter press clipping promoting your product???

I decided to buy Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment because, just like every other other typical teenager, I often have to deal with an annoying predicament called zits. After about a week of using this product, which can be purchased at a local drugstore for about $6.99, I decided that this was a product I'd probably buy again. According to Clean&[link removed], this acne spot treatment is a "break-through formula" that begins to work the moment it makes contact with the infected area to quickly reduce the size and redness of pimples. The web-site even claims that "l00% of people in clinical testing showed improvements as early as day one!". While I didn't see a significant difference after my first use, I do like this product and would recomment it to any teenager combating with blemishes (so, basically, just about all of us). This acne treatment is a transparent get that contains 3% salicylic acid, an acne-fighting ingredient that aids in unclogging pores and preventing future break-

Pros:

smells really nice
MUST US WITH ENTIRE LINE!!
this is not sold in the 'package' as everyone is referring to.

Cons:

Does dry out temporarily and you MUST use entire line of products

There's two types of Clean and Clear Advantage. This one is the less expensive one and you need to buy the astringent, oil free moisturizer, and the spot treatment gel. I use it and it keeps my skin clear. I still have breakouts but my pimples last shorter on my face than before. I use it in the shower after my pores have all been opened by the steam. I use the blackhead eraser (also clean and clear product) then use the astringent and then moisturize. I use the gel on spots for overnight treatment and wake up with clear skin.

It smells good.

My face broke out horribly after using this product. My face didn't dry out, but it was itchy, red, and bumpy all over.

Don't buy it.

Pros:

Easy to use.

Cons:

used for two weeks and did nothing to my skin. Didn't help when I had breakouts. Dried my face a little bit.

Wouldn't get this product and didn't really help anything for me or didn't protect me from breakouts......ect.

Pros:

It works. My skin felt great, was not very oily at the end of the day, and was nice and tingly.

Cons:

This product is INTENSE!
I had a severe allergic reaction to the point where my face felt like it was on fire and itched like I was being tortured. I LITERALLY WANTED TO TEAR THE SKIN OFF MY FACE. I wish I were exaggerating.
I ended up having to take a Zyrtec (which helped) but ended up with scratches on my face despite sitting on my hands for most of the day.

I now know what torture feels like. This product was my personal version of Hell, and my skin can take just about anything. If you are even slightly concerned, skip this product.

Pros:

NONE!

Cons:

Very aggressive treatment!

I like to think my skin is pretty versatile, never had a bad reaction to any creams/cleansers etc. However, the first time I used this I had a slight tingling on my face. I didn't think anything of it as I assumed that was the product working. I used it again the following day. As soon as I rinsed it off my face felt like it was on fire. My whole face swelled up, my eyes were swollen almost shut (they stayed that way for TWO DAYS). I had loads of red bumps on my chin and cheeks, and the skin on my face felt like someone had set it on fire!!! I took anti histamines which only helped a little. I last used it on Friday (it's tuesday now) and I'm STILL suffering the effects, My skin is dry, cracked and feels like leather. It's starting to peel off too. Moisturizer doesn't seem to be helping at all. Oh and although it's peeled a lot of my skin off I still have the spots!! Useless! I really regret using this and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE because of this possible side effect! If I could give it 0/5 I would've!
