Pros:

-Prevents future blackheads, and other spots (Please read further note I've written down on bottom line)
-Makes my skin feel and look clean, smooth, fresh and soft, the same feeling after using my mud mask.
-Gives a nice dewy look on the T-Zone area whilst mattifying away oil.

Cons:

-The packaging instructions doesn't state how much content to use on the skin. I've realised that using a small amount works better as I started using quite a big amount before and it just made me feel as if I was overdoing adding stuff on my face. Making me feel a bit more oily.

Perhaps the best morning and night face scrub I have ever used that has made my skin smooth, soft and works well with my morning moisturiser. The combination of the two works delightfully well with or without wearing make-up. Reviews here have mentioned it to be over drying but that's only if you don't apply moisturiser afterwards in the morning. When using it before bed, moisturiser doesn't need to be used because skin has already been moisturised during the day and this cleanser helps to maintain the skin to be soft and smooth. Other reviews have also mentioned that it hasn't got rid of any previous blackheads but you must remember that it clearly states on the package (which may perhaps be misleading), 'see fewer blackheads', which in other words, your existing blackheads might still remain, but at least it prevents new ones. Scrubs are generally used to rid blackheads eventually because they rub off dead skin cells over time, so the blackheads that remain stuck in the skin (however I've never experienced those really BIG blackheads) will make the spot stuck underneath to eventually appear on the top surface of the skin. Admittedly I have two small cysts on each side of my cheek and I believe that it was to do with using an oil cleanser which I've stopped using. My directions of using: Wet flannel with running water from the hot tap, use flannel to cleanse my face in circular motions. Splash more water over my face and apply less than a thumb size amount of Clean&Clear Scrub and move in small circular motions around the face. Then repeat the flannel action again with hot/warm water to wipe off the cleanser. Splash face one final time to remove extra residue of beads etc and then pat dry face with a clean towel. In the morning, I then apply Olay Complete Care SPF 15 for normal/combination skin. My advice is to skip all the other products that can give us a headache on deciding what else we n

Pros:

❤ results after 1-2 uses
❤ removes makeup, dirt, and oil completely
❤ leaves skin feeling SO fresh and CLEAN

Cons:

😪 dries out skin a bit: use a moisturizer after use

❤ After using this product just one time, I noticed results the next morning. All together, I've used this product morning and night for about three days. It's been slowly clearing some blackheads for me, but like I said I've only been using it for 3 days. It does clear all other acne and breakouts. I would reccomend using this product with Neutragina's Grapefruit Acne Wash and blackhead clearer. That's what I've been using with it and it works AMAZINGLY. They both clear and prevent acne, breakouts, and blackheads quickly. The grapefruit wash cleans off your face (plus all the other stuff it does!) first before you use the clean and clear scrub so then the scrub can work and get into your skin even better.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

-no effect on blackheads
-scrub beads too sparse to exfoliate

I bought the generic version of this product (it's identical to the original), used it daily for a couple weeks, was disappointed in the results. On a side note, any bits or beads for exfoliating were too sparse so it's a poor scrub as well.

Pros:

-Controls breakouts
-Less oily skin
-Took away some blackheads around cheeks, nose and chin.

Cons:

-might cause irritation if have sensitive skin
- A little over drying but a good moisturizer can fix that

I love this product so much. It controlled my acne and got rid of some of my blackheads and whiteheads. I drink 8 glasses of water to and that helps also to get rid of blackheads so using this product helps to remove them. I recommend it only to those who don't have sensitive skin. I use this product everyday and my skin been really good with it.

Pros:

-Cleans the face well
-Works well on whiteheads

Cons:

-Doesn't do much for blackheads(It's supposed to do the opposite!)

This cleanser cleans the face leaving no oil and clears whiteheads, but doesn't get rid of blackheads. I used a whole tube and not one blackhead was gone.

Pros:

Refreshing
Cleared light blackheads in ONE TRY!
Smells good
Clears face of oil
Helps get rid of small pimples (not acne)

Cons:

Dries skin out a little
doesn't get rid of deep blackheads that well (depends on skin type)

If you have light blackheads you should use it, it totally helps. Massage deeply for about 20 seconds for a better result. EXTRA: To get rid of the deep blackheads, don't use in the shower. Just put it on a damp washcloth and rub deeply where there are blackheads. The bottle lasts about a 3/4 month.

Pros:

-Really does get rid of blackheads
-It smells awesome
-It makes your skin so soft and clean without drying it up.

Cons:

-It doesnt get rid of all blackheads.

I have tried this product in Dubai and in America. In the states it's way better and you can really tell the difference. After the first few washes i could see that my blackheads were less. It smells so good and is really gentle on your skin. I think the beads really help. I sometimes get pimples but I've used this product i havent gotten any break outs. I am in love with product and totally recommend it.

Pros:

-makes skin feel somewhat clean

Cons:

-does not work
-causes horrible breakouts near the nose and mouth
-pretty drying

BOTTOM LINE: this scrub does not work. I tried it for about 4 weeks, and literally, I've only seen one blackhead disappear, and i've been getting really bad breakouts since I've used it. I recommend Clearasil products, they actually work.

Pros:

Clears up my skin
No breakouts
Makes skin look flawless

Cons:

Dryness

Neutrogena never works for my skin, so I tired Clean and Clear and I'm never going back! Like I still have blackheads but not as noticeable. My skin is clearer and smoother then ever. My skin can become dry, but as long as you have the right moisturizer, you should be fine. I love the microbeads that are in the bottle, and love the light scent. I recommend this, unless you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Made my skin feel nice
Works well as a basic cleanser
Didn't really dry out my skin

Cons:

Didn't do anything for my blackheads

This is a good cleanser if you want skin that feels nice and clean. However, it didn't do much for my blackheads. It might have kept some developing blackheads at bay, since I developed a few since I stopped using this. However, in the end it just didn't do what it promised.
