Started off good, and ended up terrible.

Pros:

Clears acne at first.

Cons:

Creates more breakouts
Dries out skin.

When I first used this product I thought I had found the miracle cream. I originally got it in the Clean & Clear Advantage acne kit and it worked miracles on breakouts I already had. But as time went on I noticed the more it cleared up the acne I already had, the more would appear. And they would be larger and hurt a lot more. Would not recommend this to anyone other than a fast ONE day solution but not long term.

Pros:

Worked the first couple of times.

Cons:

took a couple weeks to take full effect
costed a lot for one small tube
didn't for-fill what it said it would.

worked on few, but didn't really give me the effect i was wanting. it got rid of the swelling but didn't remove the entire blemish. I would recommend it if you wanted the swelling of your acne to decrease.

Pros:

- MAY dry out pimples a bit, mild

Cons:

- Overpriced
- Doesn't stop redness
- Doesn't make pimples smaller

I used this along with the entire line and this was the only thing that flat out never worked. It's like putting water on a pimple. Doesn't really change acne but makes you feel like you are because you paid so much. Toothpaste works a great deal better.

Pros:

Reduces pimples
Smells nice

Cons:

Made my skin flaky at first

This is the first on the spot acne treatment that has actually worked for me. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin but it didn't make me swell up or anything. Test it out for your skin, everyone is different. When I first started using it, it did make some places flaky ( I only used it on certain spots, never all over) like my cheeks, but I think my skin has gotten used to it. Anyway, I apply it 3-4 times a day on pimples that are there or about to form and I definitely notice a difference.

Pros:

Helps reduce acne

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of acne alone

This is good, but I can only wear it at nigh because it peels off under my makeup. There are better products out there, but this is ok.

Pros:

Vanishes breakouts.

Leaves my skin soft.

Cons:

NOTHING.

I LOVE this product! It's an amazing spot treatment and it does exactly what it says. It always works whenever I breakout and it immediately erases it! It's my favorite product by Clean & Clear. I recommend it to anyone with sudden breakouts. You won't be dissapointed (:

Pros:

Inexpensive

Cons:

Oily
Stings (slightly)

Waste of money. I bought it because there were tons of magazines that raved about this product, but I couldn't tell you why. I used it consistently on a few white heads and cystic pimples a.k.a the ones that swell up and are painful but don't come to a head. After almost a week passed I finally couldn't take using the product with no significant results and just popped them.

Pros:

-works very well at first
-results overnight

Cons:

-dries skin a little bit
-stops working completely after a while

At first it worked really good. You could see results overnight and the pimples would shrink to like, half their size. But after a month or so it just stopped having any effect because the skin became immune to it. I kept trying to use it and i think it made it worse after a while.
