Pros:

Works well. Improvement over night. Easy to apply.

Cons:

Stings just a tad. most cleanse thoroughly before apply for full effect. Does not totally remove acne from affected area.

Works great! Greatly improved my acne problem. Now instead of a big ol' whitehead, I have a small some-what red bump! I figure that a lot of people do not use this product correctly. The directions say to cleanse thoroughly before applying. While in the shower, I use a microdermabrasion scrub. Then, [once I'm out of the shower] I use skin toner, then a moisturizer. After, I apply the acne spot treatment. Glad I bought it! ***ON SALE AT CVS!!! 06/20/09***

Pros:

easy to apply, smells nice

Cons:

can dry skin out (fixed with moisturiser), small amount in tube

This really didn't do anything for my skin. It began drying it out after a while, so after cleansing and toning, i used an oil free mosituriser before applying. Didn't clear up any of my pimples, but I noticed when I stopped using it more would appear. So I really used it as a preventative. However the tube is pretty tiny, so it really didnt last long. It is alright, but wouldnt recommended it. Am currently using proactiv and seeing MUCH more results.

Pros:

I liked this because it worked really fast. The smell isn't as strong as other treatments as well which I like.

Cons:

It makes your face sting a little at first but goes away quickly.

I think this is an overall good product. Give it a try to see if it's right for you

Pros:

clears skin fast!!!

Cons:

moderate peeling

This is the only acne product that has worked for me, I use a really gentle face soap, and put the spot treatment on wherever there is a pimple( or a pimple coming). trust me , It works!!!!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I used it for about 2 days on one pimple and it made the skin peel! Now i have this huge red thing on my face! Please dont use this product!

I started out with a small red under the skin pimple, and using this stuff it turned into a huge scab on my face! and the pimple is still under the skin! I didnt help any, it only made it much much worse!

Pros:

Smells good, Makes acne feel better

Cons:

Rarely works

I have used this product exactly how it says to use it, in fact I've gone on different websites to see if I was using it to it's most effective ability and sure enough I was using it the right way...and yet when I apply it to acne it only makes the acne WORSE. I'll put it on at the first sign of a pimple and the next day I'll wake up and the pimple is much much worse than it was the day before and harder to cover up. There are very few times I have used this product and it has actually worked so I don't suggest it unless your one of the lucky chosen ones that it works for.

Pros:

It makes your skin soft and cool. I'm talking about the WHOLE acne kit. That's about it.

Cons:

My skin got used to it. It does make zits smaller and less red, but doesn't completely get rid of them. People with bad acne don't need to use this product. To be honest, I was slightly disappointed with this kit. It wasn't helpful as I'd hoped.

Use it if you think that you don't have bad acne. Otherwise, don't give this product your time. And when it said it worked better than Proactiv?? Yeah, right. I would say if you have bad acne, then what I recommend is Skin iD. That is what I am currently using and it works WONDERS!!! The bottom line- it works for some skin types and not others, where Skin iD is personalized. But, if your feeling risky, give it a try, it might work for you. Nothing is stopping you.

Pros:

Reduced the size of my acne. Very easy and quick to use. Works pretty fast.Easy to wear with makeup. Kinda helped with the redness.

Cons:

Just be careful because if you even touch teh tube lightly while the cap is off it comes out alot. But thats about it.

I've been useing this Clean and Clear product for about 24 hours now. So far it looks like its worked better then any other acne treatment i've tried. I'll write again in about 3 days to report how its doing.
