Pros:

Dries out pimples within a couple of days

Cons:

Sets your face on fire!!
Leaves acne scars
Peels off

After applying this to my pimples, my face stung horribly for several minutes. But, if you stick the pain out, it eventually goes away and the results are decent. I left it on for quite a while and when it dries it peels off so you have to wash your face again. This can be kind of hassle to get all the gunk off your face. The biggest con is it leaves an acne scar for almost every pimple "eliminated". But it does work pretty fast, and really dries out the pimples. This is an ok product if you're in desperate need of fast acne relief and willing to risk acne scars. Bottom line... it's only $7 and lasts a while, what more can you expect.

Pros:

-inexpensive
-doesn't cause acne
-tingles

Cons:

-leaks out of lid
-doesn't reduce spots
-doesn't work with makeup

I used this for a few years, but I don't think it actually does anything, I have used some far better on the spot treatments! It says you can wear this over or under makeup which is also a lie. I've tried lots of different foundations with this and application techniques but it comes straight off with makeup in an orangeybrown clump of gloop. My main problem with this product is that the packaging is rubbish! I'd take the lid off and it would flow out of the nozzle and not slow until my fingers were covered. The lid was always full of congealed gloop because it leaks so much. EVERY tube I had did the same thing - very frustrating. I wrote Clean and Clear a letter about this and they very kindly sent me a £2 voucher. The product costs more than a fiver and I've bought about 15 tubes because of the leaks. Cheers Johnson and Johnson.

Pros:

Works overnight, very effective, the only product that didn't dry out my skin so I didn't have to use a moisturizer. The only product the really worked for me.

Cons:

I hope they'll make the kit (Package) larger.

Clean & Clear Advantage is a relief and a Psychological comfort.

Pros:

Works very well on those tough to get rid of pimples. The burning sensation when applied boosts your hopes that it's working.

Cons:

Small amount for price paid.

This product works well for people with moderate and severe acne as well as people with light acne, like myself. Keep in mind, when using a product like this you must also be committed to daily cleansing and well as moisturizing to prevent dry/flaky skin. Product definitely serves it purpose.

Pros:

Work very well for me. If I ever have a really bad breakout I just reapply it 5 times a day, and in one day, you can hardly see any marks. I have used this 2wice a day for a month and I have had 0 breakouts. It works!

Cons:

Stings a little bit, nothing bad. Irritates eye areas. Does not peel the skin,but comes off looking like skin if you rub it.

Many people have very bad results with this, but I'm one of the few that it works miracles on. Then again, I have very, very strong skin. (I've used pure rubbing alcohol on my face with no negative results)

NAH
i actually bought it because of the good reviews i read from people who suffered from acne. i put it on the big visible spots day and night, the next morning there was no result (of course, because you can't expect a clear skin overnight) but i continued using it the next day and then in the morning i was in my room sitting on the floor just under my window and i was looking at my face in the mirror and noticed that my face looked very oily that it looked greasy. lets just get to the point why i don't recommend this; it worsens my acne. my pimples got redder and bigger. my face looked more oily than it did before. i dont recommend anyone to buy it.

Made my acne worse
I bought this product after reading majority of good reviews on it. But after 1 week I had to stop using it. It made my acne worse than it was. I would apply the cream at night on one pimple, and when I wake up the next day I would have 5 more surrounding it. Same thing happened with even the small tiny pimples. I also read some reviews on the cream leaving burn marks. It's true. I had about 2 pimples on my chin, I popped them, applied the cream. And when I woke up the next day my chin was covered in burn marks and pimples. Luckily I had some experience with acne scars in the past, so I applied lightening cream to the scars. I'm still currently applying the lightening cream but so far only I've seen some slight lightening. I'm never using this product again

What cream do you use to lighten your scars, that doesn't cause more clogs? Sorry about your skin, this burned me too.

Pros:

- gets rid of acne really fast
- gives you this tingly feeling, making it feel like its really working
- doesn't stink

Cons:

- really burns when you apply it over a newly popped pimple

Really works. My forehead used to be covered with large red pimples, now it's almost practically all gone, with the exception of some teeny tiny spots now and then.

Pros:

It zaps zits overnight.
Doesnt smell bad.
Fast working.
Has a funny tingle which I like.......

Cons:

For couple days it will sting because your skin is still getting use to this products, it does have 2% salicid acid.

I love this product I literally worship it. Right now I barely have any acne left because of this product. I recommend this to anyone literally i've told all my friends and family about this and it has helped them. If you havent boughten this product already go buy what are you waiting for because it will change your life and your face. Trust me on this.
