Pros:

Worked so well for me! This plus birth control cleared my skin up completely. Not only did it stop my breakouts but it's also gotten rid of about 98% of my acne scarring. I cannot tell you how much I love this product!

Cons:

A little costly and it is definitely intense-follow the instructions and start off by washing only once a day with it, then move up to two (I didn't do this at first and it dried me out so bad my eyebrows had dandruff).

This worked like a miracle for me but everyone's skin is different. If you don't want to spend all the money to try it out then buy the spot treatment separately first and see how it works for you, that's how I started out, using just that would keep me down to one or two pimples at a time but now I have none!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Smell
Advertising
Did not work

First things first, clean and clear should not advertise that it works on 100% of people after the first day. That is false, after the first day I started breaking out!! It dries your skin to the maximum, and yes it makes your skin feel tight. It was horrible, should have read the reviews before I bought this product. Took over a week for my face to get back to normal. Wouldn't reccomend this product to anyone. I can't believe I wasted my money on this garbage.

Cons:

I had a SEVERE reaction to the product!

I used the product as directed for three days. On the fourth morning my skin felt dry so I used my old facewash, by that night, my face was painfully dry and tight. I couldn't even wash it, it was so tender, instead I put my own face lotion (not the kits) on only. The next day it was even worse and was red. By the afternoon, my eyes and cheeks had begun to swell, my face was so tight from being so dry I had to put lotion on to make it bareable, but when I did, it set me on fire because my skin was so irritated. On the following morning my eyes and cheeks were extremely swollen, red, very tight, and dry. I could not make facial expressions because of how painful it was to move my very tight and dry skin. Total my face was swollen for 2 days, extremely tight going on 4 days, dry going on 5 days. It has just now begun to crack today and I am washing with a gentle scrub and lotioning about every 3 hours to keep it from being too painfully tight by removing the skin that is so dry and causing the tightness. The reaction I have had has been EXTREMELY painful and embarrassing (being swollen to looking like a reptile- scaling, and peeling). I have NEVER had an allergic reaction to any facial product before. Use caution when using this product!

Dry skin and acne
I tried to use this all together but it really irritated my face and dried it out A LOT. I even tried building up a tolerance to each step and still too drying even with a ton of moisturizer. Now I'm only using the wash with a different moisturizer at night and just feel I'm stuck in a rut. I've battled acne for years and every treatment I've tried has been too drying on my skin. Any recommendations?

May work for others but not for me
I think this product is for people who have a lot of acne. I have pimples that come and I cant seem to get rid of them, after trying this product it only made it worse, first it dried out my skin and second I had a bad reaction to it so it made my eyelids bright red and dried them out.. It may work for other people but deffs not for me.. I'm also not very sure about the ingredients in this product..

Pros:

-Makes skin smooth
-Controls Redness
-Decreases pimple amount and size
-Smells nice:D
-Gives skin nice healthy glow
-Evens skin tone

Cons:

-Drying if you don't use properly
-Doesn't work for everyone
-Moisturizer doesen't last long
-They exagerate their statements(e.g. 100% of people had clearer skin in one day)
-Dosent get rid of blackheads

This worked pretty well for me. The first time I tried it, I saw great results the next morning. But after around a week my skin was drying out like crazy!!!! The cleanser is very strong. Its 10%BP and the .5% Salicylic acid moisturizer was not enough to keep my skin in control. So I stopped using the BP cleanser and used something else. The spot treatment stops working after around a week. So about that time I was only using the moisturizer (Which I LOVE) The moisturizer doesnt feel oily on my skin and it really helps acne while keeping your skin moisturized . I recently came back to this routine and my skin has been looking great. For the best results you need to combine different products. my routine is: AM: -Wash with BP cleanser -Moisturize with Clean and clear moisturizer and then with clean and clear morning glow SPF 15. PM: -Wash with BP cleanser -Exfoliate with sugar and Olive Oil (3-5x a week) -Moisturize with clean and clear cleanser. -Moisturize again with Tarocco natural moisturizer that contains orange extracts and olive oil. As you see I need to moisturize alot to keep my skin from drying out. And yet my skin is still slightly flaky. I would not recommend using the cleanser if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

The spot treatment works allright

Cons:

IT BURNED/IRRITATED MY SKIN

i got this kit thinking it will help my acne i was totally wrong. I used it in the night before going to bed. Next day i woke up to a tomatoe red and burning face. It was so painful i had to put lotion on it. The burning lasted for 4 days until my face got back to normal but it was a little peeled. You should use this with caution not all skin reacts the same.

Pros:

- Calms down spots quickly
- Sorta helps stop breakouts

Cons:

-didn't do anything for my red acne marks

Well, I bought the cleanser (cheaper than the whole kit) and I was impressed after the first week or so because I had hardly any pimples just 1 or 2. BUT then I broke out with 5 pimples, I didn't think much of it but its been almost a month now and they have not gone away, I'm scared!!!!! ARGH I DON"T DESERVE MORE MARKS, WHY GOD WHYYYYYY! X0 Oh, PS, Try this product but I'm unsure about if you will like it or not.
