Pros:

No bad smell, one tube goes a long time

Cons:

Not potent, leaves a residue even after washing

it didn't improve my skin at all. i was hoping for a quick cure for a few pimples before my grad which were only 2 days old, and fairly isolated. unfortunately it didnt get rid of them in 7 days. i was very upset i payed all that money and ended up still having pimples. i would recommend trying another spot-treatment. All it did is made them feel drier and solid but they still looked red and inflamed.

Pros:

You can really feel it working, pimples get smaller within hours. It smells good, causes no dryness whatsoever

Cons:

burns, causes immediate redness of pimple area(but that goes away within a couple minutes), makes my skin feel more oily and shiny

The best over-the-counter on-the-spot treatment i have ever used. The burning and redness go away within a couple minutes, so i have no problem with that. But after a couple hours of applying, my skin starts to feel oily. It makes me feel like the product isn't working even though it obviously is, and i'm constantly apply small dots of it throughout the day or blotting my face with kleenex to get rid of the oily feeling. i still love it, though.

Pros:

Good when used with other products. Can be used as a really good cleanser.

Cons:

You have to use it in the correct manner or you won't have any noticable reduction of acne.

This is a good product compared to other clean and clear products. Any salcyclic acid product is like this in that it is a slow peel and can give you red and flaky skin. Slow peeling is part of how it works to remove comodones. You can use other products to control flakyness such as Retin A to remove the flakes or on the other hand moisturizer to keep them stuck to your skin, which usually negates the effectiveness of the product.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Didn't do anything for my acne
Seemed to be more of an outbreak than there was before

I used this to help stop my pimples from forming, but instead I got an outbreak in the parts that I wasn't applying this to. My acne looks significantly worse than it did before I used this product.

Pros:

-It reduced the size of my pimples and got rid a FEW of my whiteheads.

Cons:

-Burned my skin as f--k.
-Rashes on my skin.
-No good for sensitive skin.
-Only use this as a spot treatment, don't spread it in your whole face (my mistake..)

I gave this product a tried because i had whiteheads all over my cheeks and were under the surface of my skin. So I bought this and spread the cream (which you are not suppose to do) on my acne areas at night and literally in the morning, I felt my skin more tight, VERY red (LITERALLY), and burning, of course. It was awful. I do not reccomend this for sensitive skin.

Pros:

It got rid of the few pimples I had in a couple days

Cons:

It dries out spots on my skin
It burns

Okay, so this product is pretty good. It doesn't reduce the redness as it claims (at least I found) and it will BURN for a few minutes, the first few seconds will really hurt. But it does zap the pimples fast so try it out. I'd probably recommend the clean & clear astringent more. It really gets rid of the pimples, not as fast but without pain.
