Pros:

leaves skin nice and soft
works fast
actually WORK

Cons:

dries your skin out
smells kinda funny (just get a nice scented moisturizer)

I've been using the kit. This product works absolute wonders, my acne is practically gone. But be sure to have plenty of moisturizer ready at your side. No, the one they provide you doesn't cut it. Use only pea sized amounts because this product will COMPLETELY dry out your skin and leave it flaky. I got extremely worried when it first happened, but i pounded a bunch of moisturizer on top and it was okay. Since then I use a little less of the stuff and it seems to do the trick. Don't overdo it, and don't do it when you've got a sunburn either (trust me). But aside from that, your acne'll be clear 100%.

Pros:

Works really well for those with moderate to severe acne. I noticed a difference in my skin right away and saw great improvement within three weeks. Not only does it make ur face feel cleansed and soft, it smells great too!

Cons:

It does dry out your skin to the extreme. So I don't think anyone with light acne should use it.

I have had acne for over six years! I tried proactive....believe me I stuck to it and it didn't work for me. So I gave this a try and it actually helped me a lot since I have super oily skin. I put moisturizer on three times a day though so that's definitinitely a heads up! BUY SOME MOISTURIZER!

I would recommend

Pros:

inexpensive
refreshing
not drying

I would not be able to use this alone because my (teen) acne is moderate, but it works great with all the topicals I have been using (finacea, aczone, adapalene.) It does not dry my skin and it is refreshing. I have used it for a month and all of the smaller pimples are vanishing, but I cannot tell whether it helps with deeper pimples. However, I recommend giving this a shot because it it my favorite cleanser I have ever used.

Pros:

-Makes skin FEEL better
-directions are easy to follow
-minimizes size

Cons:

none so far

I used this ONCE and my face feels A LOT better. I plan to use this for a long time. It was my last step before visiting a dermatologist. It stings when you use the spot treatment, but dampen it with a wet washclosh and it feels better right away. I bought it in the package with the cleanser, moisturizer, and spot treatment and used it for the first time today. I felt great, looked great, and it gave my skin a more even tone (It either made my acne more pale, or my face more red, but either way, I looked better :D) I feel so good, all of the sudden. I am going out with friends that I haven't seen in a long time in two days, and I hope that my bad spots will be gone by then. So far, I see great results.

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:

It cleared up my acne fairly quickly.

Cons:

It made my face dry out at first.
It turned my towels orange!

I started using these products in December and I was amazed that it cleared up my skin so fast. Although it dried out my skin quite a bit at first, I was very happy with the products and continued to use them, and still have some left. However, at around the same time I started using the products (not realizing this at the time), my nice brown towels started to turn orange and I couldn't figure out why. I thought it was something in the wash although my clothes and everything else was fine. Just last week I stayed at my mother's house and after using her towels and my face wash, I noticed that her towels had orange on them too. Yesterday I decided to take a face cloth and test each of my shower products on it to see if anything happened and sure enough, the Clean and Clear Advantage face wash bleached the towel and left it a light, bright orange colour. And yes, I rinse my face very well every time I wash my face and this still happened!

Cons:

burned my face first few days, also dried out my face quite a bit

It's ok so far, I have used it for 2 weeks now, no new breakouts but my one acne scar is still there. I had a HUGE cyst acne when i bought this stuff.

Pros:

My acne cleared up almost right away

It dryed my skin

I like it but I don't like the dryness. I use the moisturiser too so my face isn't too dry.

nice texture

This product was okay, it didn't help with my acne, but it didnt cause any new pimples to form. it pretty much just kept it even.
