Pros:

-Clears all blackheads on nose
-Shrinks and ultimately eliminates existing acne
-Does not dry out skin

Cons:

-Does not clear blackheads on chin

I absolutely love this product. My skin is freaky: regular Cetaphil dries it out to the point of uncontrollable flaking, but after I use this product I barely need a moisturizer. I think it is because it does not contain sodium laureth sulfates...the super drying ingredient that gives Cetaphil it's foamy lather. In order for this product to work, this is how you should use it!!! : Instead of wetting your face, scrubbing for twenty seconds, and rinsing, wet your face and massage in the cleanser, and then leave it to dry for about ten minutes. Then rinse it off. As long as your skin is not sensitive, this should work wonders because it is given time to actually penetrate the pores. I have no zits and few blackheads after using this product!

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:

This stuff is amazing. Straight after the first use it made my skin softer and i thought that it was clearer after the second day. I am using this wiht other products tho. Oh and the little blue beads r 4 exfoliating people :)

Cons:

none that i can think of so far. The beads dont bother me and the deffinately dont get stuck in my nose.

I would reccomend this to someone who has light acne. I'm not sure if it would b good for people with serious problems tho. But it might work. I love it and i use it once a day. No cons so far!!! Really affordable =D

Pros:

Amazing product, honestly saw results from day one. Every time I use it I'm surprised by how fresh and clean my skin looks and feels.
Exfoliating beads give really good results, especially on problem areas - for me the cheeks and chin.

Cons:

Genuinely can't think of any.

Would definitely recommend, and will definitely buy it again!

Pros:

REALLY helps acne...I've been using it for about four years and I always notice a difference when I don't use it. This truly helps in staying clear and CLEANING everythinggg out. I use it as a makeup remover as well. It also helps a bit with blackheads...but mostly for acne. My skin always feels much healthier and it feels like my skin is actually breathing after this (kinda weird but it really does).

Cons:

The beads do sometimes get stuck in my hair...but no biggie...you can always just wash them out...not a big sacrifice for clearer skin.

I have very stubborn acne and have dealt with acne for about ten years...this is one of the products i cannot live without. I hope you decide to try it because I know you'll be thankful you did. (Btw I had moderate acne which is now mostly under control....and I have combination skin)

Pros:

WORKS!!
smells good
feel fresh and clean after use
affordable

Cons:

No cons for me, everyone has different skin. I have used many products and this has worked for me well, even when those big nasty zits come out this reduces the redness and its almost gone the next day, more for acne, blackheads they're ok.

Works relatively well for something this cheap, recommend it to anyone with acne.

Pros:

I used it for two days now, after the first use my skin was noticeably cleaner. Woke up the next day, and had amazing results! Now after using it in the morning, and before bed for two days my skin is the best it has been for months!

Cons:

None so far. Oh, and those little beads, I have no clue why you people think they are so bad, they exfoliate your skin. I have had no problems at all with them getting everywhere, you guys are obviously sub-par at rinsing your face.

It is amazing so far, not expensive, and quick to use. Hopefully the results will stay consistent.

Pros:

I've only been using this product for 2 days, and almost every blackhead on my face is gone!

Cons:

The scrubbing beads are big, so they can get a little messy!! But if you use it in the shower, it's not a problem.

Great product. I've used everything -- Apricot Scrubs, Astringents, Cleansers, ProActiv.... nothing ever works! I have sensitive skin, and very oily skin. Most products make my breakouts worse, or give me a horrible rash. This one is great on sensitive skin and leaves me feeling clean without overdrying.
