Pros:

Clears acne quickly.

Cons:

Makes my whole face and neck bumpy, dry, itchy, and swollen. Do not use if you have sensitive skin. My eyes are almost swollen to the point that they are shut. It sucks.

DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE SENSITVIE SKIN!! OR ELSE YOU WILL WAKE UP LOOKING LIKE QUAZIMOTO IN THE MORNING!!

Pros:

None?

Cons:

i used this twice, only once a day on the evening by the third day my skin was really dry, and had little red bumps all over it and extremely itchy. it is now the 4th day since i havent used it and my skin is still itchy

This product would be good if you have EXTREMELY oily skin but not if your skin is normal or dry. Even though i used a good moisturiser with it day and night the bumps are still there, im anticipating it will take at least a few more days for them to dissapear!! dont buy unless your skin is mega oily.! good luck

Pros:

I went with my friend to go buy this, I started using it for a week and then I asked if my skin looked any different. She said it did, so I guess that's an improvement.

Cons:

After when I rinsed my face and patted my face with towel. I have sensitive skin. SO IT STARTS BURNING AND IT HURTS TO SMILE! My skin feels dry and irritated. But I use vaseline or a moisturizer after so it doesn't hurt that much.

It's okay, I wouldn't reccomend to anybody since I haven't been using it for quite that long yet.

Pros:

I LOVE THE SMELL! it's awesome.
Sorry guys i didn't put the price-- i don't remember how much it was..at all. I tried this in the first place because it has a 2% Salicylic Acid acne medication, and I heard that was an important formula, so i tried

Cons:

MADE MY FACE RED
sucks balls. I don't like it, at all. I have been fighting acne for about three years already, and I STILL have pretty damn severe acne. bumps, often pus filled pimples, LOADS of blackheads, redness, I JUST HATE IT!

this product sucks, like if you have crappy, oily skin in the T-ZONE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. No results, just probably some MORE redness. I don't think that Clean & Clear products work very well with my skin...my skin and C&C have issues together ha ha

Pros:

it makes my skin softer

Cons:

it stings alot after, drys out my skin, makes my face all red and since ive been using it i have more acne then i did before

I only had a bit of acne on my cheeks, forehead and chin. Since using this i have a lot more. People say that will happen though cause its bringing everything to the surface at the begining. I have dry skin and mild acne. It might work for you,cause all skin types are different.

Pros:

I don't find many pros to this product. It didn't work for me as fast as St. Ives works. But then again, everyone's skin is different. What may work for you may not work for me. In the long run this ruins your PH Balance...

Cons:

1. Cleanser is too runny.
2. Spot Treatment burned my skin, felt horrible.
3. Moisturizer doesn't really moisturize.

Definitely not satisfied with the product. In the long run it will make your skin worst then before you used it. By no means am I suggesting people use St.Ives either for the simple fact that in the long run it ALSO destroys your skin, but it does get rid of acne really fast. Like I said, what may work for you may not work for me and vice versa.

Pros:

it's not expensive, it smells great.

Cons:

kinda dries out your face, MAY make your acne worse.

i used neutrogena and it worked for me but after a while i guess it stopped. so i decided to try clean and clear. it's not really working for me, nver break out onn my cheeks only on my forhead and a little on my chin. ever since i started using clean and clear it has made me nreak out more. i never had alot of pimple to begin with, and i have waaay more pimples then i started with. im gonna give it another couple weeks and if i don't see improvment then im probably gonna stop using it. i only recommend this product if you don't have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Smells ok, makes skin smoother and more even

Cons:

Does not do anything for acne, perhaps even creates blackheads that were beneath the surface

Before I used Clean and Clear Advantage cleanser I used Neutrogena Advantage which dried out my skin, but basically worked. Clean and Clear has not made my skin soft, or clear, or glowy. It dried it out a bit, but not flaky like Neutrogena Advantage system. It did make my skin's color more even and less red, but the blackheads didn't go away, in fact I got more. Not the one to use if you have dry skin or blackheads like mine.
