Pros:

It works!! I'm really shocked to see all these reviews that say it didn't work for them. I've been using it for 4 years now and whenever I stop using it, my acne returns. I've tried other products only to have my acne consistently return! It works!!!

Cons:

The smell isn't that great and it's very thin and runny but if those characteristics are what make it take away acne so well, then I'd rather they stay the same!

I use this 4 my back & have noticed that 1 bottle lasts me 86 days, so I always order 3 at a time to save a few dollars. That's only $7.57 per month but still, I thought I could figure out how 2 save money by finding something cheaper so I stopped using it & started spraying my back with things I read about on the Internet such as apple cider vinegar or rubbing alcohol. I also tried Nature's Cure Body Acne Treatments Spray. All of these things caused my acne 2 return! I went 2 the dermatologist yesterday & since I had stopped using this product in order 2 try 2 cut costs, my back was a mess. She said she'd give me something 4 my back & I told her I have something that works & showed her the bottle & told her I wanted 2 see if she knew of anything cheaper because I didn't want 2 be addicted 2 it 4 the rest of my life since it's a little more than $21 a bottle. She told me that if this is working for me 2 keep using it because her other recommendation was a $30 a bottle product.

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

If you use it more often than recommended, you may have some sensitivity issues.

I am 31 years old and have tried EVERYTHING! I used to spend hundreds of dollars that I couldn't afford on extractions and specialty products. I have had significantly less break outs and my skin is beginning to look clearer, more even-toned. I love this product!

Pros:

The soap is amazing & overall your skin feels really clean afterwards. Also the customer service was good - it is nice to see a company that still seems small and intimate. Oh and free samples with purchase of their moisturizers!

Cons:

I broke out in places I never had before, had pimples different from what I usually have, cause my face to feel sunburned/looked sunburned on occasion, takes a long time to go through the process.

I read the directions and followed them PERFECTLY. I have used the product for 6 months, washing my face with just the soap in the morning and using the soap/scrub/washcloth+soap every night. i never missed a time! It started out blowing my skin up...I'm talking embarassing cystic acne that I had never experienced. Suddenly it made my acne go from moderate to severe. After about a week it calmed down, thankfully. However, I developed acne in places I had never had it like my jaw right beside both of my ears. In addition, I developed an overwhelming amount of bumps (you know the clustered pimples that make your skin uneven, but never seem to go away) all over my forehead. My forehead was my one safe place that did not develop acne! Besides breaking out in random places, a few times it actually felt like it burned my skin. I've used Kern's BP and other BP products and have just had dryness--no reaction like this. When I put moisturizer on it afterwards, it felt like I was burning my skin even more. I had very high hopes for this product, and as a poor college student I felt like I was dishing out too much money, but was desperate! I am in the process of getting my money back, which hopefully occurs. I tried the product for 6 weeks and have given up. Hopefully my skin can heal from this.

Pros:

The bottle is huge. He ships fast. Free samples.

Cons:

Makes my skin MORE oily. The soap runs out fast. This product doesn't work

I'm 18 and I first started off with the formula for adult acne. I was convinced that this stuff would work from reading this guys feedback on eBay, but this stuff actually doesn't work. Well it doesn't work for me. I have used the adult formula for over a month, and right before I received the product, my skin cleared. But when I started using this stuff, boom! Another breakout! So I'm giving it 1 more shot, but this time I bought the industrial strength formula for teen acne. If it still doesn't work, NEGATIVE feedback for them.

Pros:

Makes my skin really soft and non oily, cheap

Cons:

Right now its breaking me out horribly.

I have only been on this product for a week, but as of now the Kick *ss treatment is breaking me out terribly! I have bunch of little bumps all over my face that are just terrible. I dont know if its because i have stopped all of my other topical creams or what but as of now this is not working for me! But im thinking it just takes time...oh well.I really want it to work though,

Pros:

This stuff really works for my son's face. I can tell when he's been faithfully using it and the results are outstanding. Have been using the Kick A$$ for three years or so and the quality and results are consistent.

Cons:

If not washed away completely, it WILL stain sheets and towels!

I recommend the product wholeheartedly.

Pros:

I absolutely love this product! I've been using this for 3 yrs now and its the only thing that will keep my skin clear. I've tried using other products if I run out and my face breaksout and goes back to what it was before. I'll never run out again!

Cons:

Will bleach clothing if you don't rinse off as directions state. Just use as directed and you'll be a happy clear faced customer for life!

Use this product, you have nothing to lose...they have a money back guarantee with no time limit, if it doesn't work for you just send it back and get a full refund. They're moisterizers and other products are awesome too and they last for a long time...I buy every 3-4 months its so worth it!!!!! Great customer service and all natural products, something you'll never find in a department store...check it out on ebay and read all the wonderful reviews yourself. You'll be glad you did!!!!!!!!! Plus they always send free samples of their other products along with their wonder soap.

Pros:

All natural, gentle

Cons:

It's hard to do all the steps when you're pressed for time - wash with natural soap, apply exfoliator and wait 30 secs, then wash with natural soap again.

I love that it's all natural and really hoped it would work for me. I read where some people said it would get worse before better, but honestly I didn't notice a change of any kind and I have been using it for 2 months. I think it might be for those who have mild skin problems or are allergic to the chemicals in soap. I had such hopes and I really wanted it to work!!!

Pros:

It works! It's inexpensive, and the fragrances aren't irritating.

Cons:

None

I love this stuff. Been using all of their products for years.
March 3, 2008

Pros:

Effective and Cheap

Cons:

A bit of the smell

I switched over to Clear Pores because of the dryness and pimples which were appearing after I had used Proactiv. Ever since I have been using clear pores, I have witness minimal pimples or skin drying. It's really working very well for me. I would surely like to recommend this product more than Proactiv.
