Hyperpigmentation and the Inevitable Breakout
I originally tried this a year or two ago after reading about how salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide together help with clearing your skin. Initially, this product works- it does wonders for your skin and keeps you clear... but it also comes with a price. My skin became heavily dependent on the product, forcing me to use the product every morning and night under penalty of a major breakout if I skipped even the slightest little portion of my cleansing routine. Even with using this product as a weekly or even bi-weekly exfoliator, one can always feel confident to know that you will have a breakout of some extent the next morning. Furthermore, when you would inevitably have a breakout, your skin would be left with terrible hyperpigmentation, which to this day, nearly 17 months after a major breakout, I still have a lingering reminder of the Clean & Clear product that left my face a disaster.

Break Out City
I had clear skin, by that I mean no zits, a few blackheads on my nose, and a bit of upcoming pimples here and there. I wanted to get those black heads off my nose, and I came across this product. Believing that this will work, I started breaking out after a week using this. I don't recommend this product for anyone who has sensitive skin or if Salicylic Acid is not for you. I only bought this item once, and stopped using it after that terrible breakout.

Not for breakout prone, sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin, so anything with Salicylic Acid is a big no no for me. It didn't even clear any black heads, as I tend to get them on my nose. Maybe it would work for people who don't have acne prone skin, but it's definitely not for me.

NOT FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN
This product is not made for persons suffering from mild or severe acne, it'll just make your acne worse and you'll break out like crazy. I'd recommend it to persons who only get occasionally pimples and only suffer from blackheads.

IT MADE ME BREAK OUT!! A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!! KEEP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PRODUCT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE ONE
This product made me break out!!!! I was trying to solve one problem and It gave me more. I had pimples forming everywhere after I started using this. It was a complete waste of money for me, I have the whole tube sitting on my bathroom counter just taking up space, definitely going to throw it away. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR ANYONE. DO NOT GET IT!!!! IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY ''I ASSURE YOU'' !!!!!!

Made me breakout!
This product make me breakout around my nose and inner cheek area (where I mainly applied this since this is where most of my blackheads are), it gave me little white heads all around the area and I tried this on more than one occasion, I kind of saw a difference in the blackheads, however not worth it because of the breakouts.

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.
