Pros:

Reduces whitehead size
Eliminates blackheads
Reduces redness
Fades overall acne
Cheap

Cons:

Drys skin a lot

I'm currently using this product, and I'm starting to like it a lot! However, it drys my skin out a lot, so I use it every other night. I only payed 20 dollars for it, and I think its worth it! I haven't used it on my back and chest acne, because I'm afraid I'll get way over dried since I'm most sensitive there. Overall, pretty effective product!

Pros:

feels great
smells good

Cons:

you dont get very much

the cleanser feels really good when its washed off, and it leaves your skin feeling tingly and clean. the moisturizer feels good and smells good, and i'm not allergic to it like i am with other products. the spot treatment has a thin consistancy that makes it easy to spread and doesnt require too much. i have only been using this system for a couple of days, but it feels better and cleans more effectively than other products i have used. i have also started seeing results in just two days. it definately beats neutrogena, proactiv, oxy, baking soda, honey masks, green tea, lemon juice, queen helen's mint julep, and burdock. hopefully it will work longer too.

Pros:

Quickly heals blemishes, reduces redness, prevents acne.

Cons:

Rendered useless right around "that time of the month," and occasionally leaves my face feeling dry. Doesn't necessarily reduces oil in the T-Zone

I love this product line! Clean & Clean (specifically, the Advantage Kit) is the only 3-step kit that has ever made a positive impact on my acne. I've had acne since middle school, and am now in the middle of my third year in college. I've tried Proactive, Nuetrogena, Stridex, Zapyt, Biore, Aveeno, Clearasil, AcneFree, and even did two cycles of Accutane. The bottom line is: It seems that every product or kit out there has either made my acne worse or stopped working after a week or two. The exception to the rule is Clean & Clear Acne Advantage Kit, which has reduced my acne to one or two occasional pimples around my right temple (thanks, bangs) and jaw line (thanks, hair). I've tried the other, more expensive Mark Eraser kit that Clean & Clear sells, but it doesn't have the same effective results that this kit has given me since freshman year. I also use Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser as an oil an makeup remover, before washing my face with the Clean & Clear cleanser ("step 1") and the other products in this kit.

Pros:

Clears up some acne

Cons:

Harsh; dries skin very severely

Good if you have REALLY bad acne. For those of us who have less, it really dries out skin and doesn't help too much. Also, the facial wash smells so sulfuric and bad it makes you REALLY gag.

Pros:

face felt clean & fresh afterwards

Cons:

dried out skin!
very harsh on skin

i've been using this for a month but it dried out my face really bad. i usually have dry skin because it is cold where i live so i always have to use a moisturizer afterwards. i decided that this product was too harsh because step 1 was 10% BP! plus all the other chemicals in step 2/3. so, i did some research and switched face washes to a 100% natural burts bee acne solution face wash! i did some research and thought it wouldnt hurt to try something new and different! i've used acnefree, clean & clear kit, neutrogena products, proactiv, etc etc and they all worked the same. i am also prescribed clindamycin phosphate gel usp, 1% (but am going to the dermatologist soon to get prescribed something stronger) i have light - moderate acne, with dry skin.
