Pros:

Somewhat gets rid of your acne, smells nice, cheap

Cons:

Totally dries out your face, irritates your skin and makes it all flaky

I use a moisturizer with this, yet my skin is still flaky and dry. The first 2 or 3 times you use this, everything will be fine, but then afterwards, your skin starts feeling really irritated and itchy. It dried out my entire face, so it doesn't feel soft at all. Feels kind of rough actually. To be fair, it did get rid of some acne, but I definitely will never buy this product again.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Everything!

I have used Proactive for years with great results. When I saw that this was supposedly better than Proactive, I decided to give it a try. I have not broken out this bad in YEARS. I expected to break out at first, while my skin adjusted to the new treatment, however I have used the entire system completely and everday I seem to have a new blemish. I should have known better than to switch from something that was working. I will never switch again!

Pros:

It smells pleasant, and doesn't sting (for me).

Cons:

It doesn't really do what it claims to do. But I really should have been using a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyle peroixide (considering that i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide, I pretty much had given up at this point).

It's okay if you have VERY light acne... I advise that you just get the spot treatment and the moisturizer.

Pros:

Nothing really.

Cons:

Has a strong fragrance, I don't like fragrances in my acne medications. Leaves behind a flaky residue.

I just bought this as a temporary face wash because they were all out of the Zap Zyt acne pack, it contained the same amount of salicylic acid as the zap zyt acne wash, but it didn't work as well. It was alright for the first couple days but after about a week I broke out severely on my chin, which doesn't usually happen.

Pros:

Smells nice and acts like a 2nd skin on pimple/s.

Cons:

Stings, increases pimples, gives you more oily skin and generally does'nt work!

Not worth the money, absolutely USELESS!

Pros:

smells ok and feels good going on

Cons:

It made my face so oily and dry and bumpy all at the same time.

I've never been so embarrassed about my face in my life. I've never had acne before until I found out I had Crohns Disease and had to be on steroids for a couple months. My face was bumpy but not that bad. Now since I've used the clean and clear advantage there is not a spot on my face that isn't bumpy. I don't like to even leave the house now. Who would of thought acne treatment could make acne soooo much worst. I wish I read these reviews before I used it. I'm going to try Neutrogena spotID next.
