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:

The spot treatment is good

Cons:

it doesn't reduce zits. it doesn't reduce oil. it doesn't heal zits. it doesn't do what proactive does

the advertising is wrong. clean and clear advantage will NOT give you a clearer face in 24 hours. alright. I have a greasy face. it did zilch. el zippo. nothing to my face. I actually ended up with more severe pimples after a week. don't by it. pay the extra 30 bucks and get proactiv. it doesn't do two of the three fundamentals. clean and clear doesn't stop zits from happening and it doesn't heal zits when they are there. it does sorta reduce size but not number or redness. I don't recommend using it. if you want to use something good don't use this crap.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This is a very harsh product. My face is swollen, red and quite painful. Skin feels tight and I am puffy around the eyes. An allergic reaction.

I would not recommend this product to anyone with even slightly sensitive skin. Not worth the risk of the very uncomfortable reaction. Don't waste your money.

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 worked fine at first.

Cons:

- 3 days later I had a really bad allergic reaction!
- made skin SUPER dry
- burnt when i first put it on

Had a HUGE allergic reaction to it! Both sides of my neck are swollen, blood red, itches like crazy, and it starting making my ears hurt! I ended up at the doctors office getting a steriod shot...but I must say that the Clean & Clear company did give me my money back. I've used their products before and never had a allergic reaction! I have little bimps on my lips and face and it made my skin SUPER dry! I now have two huge things on the sides of my neck with bimps that hurts like crazy. Try if you dare.....

Pros:

None, at all

Cons:

Everything.

NEVER and I mean NEVER use clean and clear products. I used their products just once at the directed amount and my whole face got CHEMICAL BURNS! It's so painful and will leave tons of scaring. Go all natural you don't want to ruin your skin like i did.

Pros:

I have nothing good to say about this product.

Cons:

I used this product for 2 days. The next morning I woke up with a swollen, red, extremely dry, itchy face with little bumbs all over it. I bought this product hoping to clear up breakouts on my chin.

I will never use this product again. I have read that if you start out using a new acne cleanser, start using it 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The rest of the days use a mild, frangrance free wash and moisturizer. I didn't read this until after my face was destroyed.
