Pros:

Works FAST
Gets rid of all types of pimples
Extremely cheap
Easy to use
Disappears into skin
Smaller pores

Cons:

Slight itchy or burning feeling on the first application

The first time I bought this,I was a little hesitant because of the claims of how powerful and great it is on the box. I was on a prescription,but it honestly wasn't working and it ran out...so I bought this a few months ago.THIS STUFF WORKS :D The first time I bought it,I honestly saw results in four hours. It might not sound like much,but it did wonders on my skin. A few months later I still but this at Dollar General. I'm so pleased with this product and people tell me that my skin looks great. There a little bit of irritation/itching the first times that you use this,but it means that it's working! If you want something to actually work for you,then I strongly suggest that you buy this.It's totally worth it!

LOVE
Salicylic acid has never really worked for my face but as soon as i saw this and started using is as a spot treatment it works like magic it dries up those horribly red pimples that hurt so bad 10/10 would recommend.

How long did it take the benzoyl peroxide to completely clear the acne?

Finally
Proactive has benzoyl peroxide in it....that's y it bleached my sheets and towels...proactive also worked wonders for me. I stopped using it because the billing was always screwed up they would charge me extra sending bills in the mail. It's been 2 years hunting for the perfect skin care regime trying new things...and nothing has worked like this clear zit cream. I have super oily shiny skin, and this has perfected my skin into a matte appearance in just two nights and two days. Yes it does dry out the skin, but it's perfect becUse that's the skin that you need to exfoliate off anyway. It also dries up acne scars that I've had for years....now all I have to do is put on a great moisturizer or oil...and I'm super happy, burns like crazy wether you put a lot or a little on..but so do chemical peels...so it's safe.

Pros:

Works immediately, not at all greasy, mild peeling reveals smoother, lighter skin. Dissolves horrible acne cysts overnight. $1.50 at Dollar General.

Cons:

Mild stinging, went away in 10-15 mins. Could cause redness & dryness if overused- increase use gradually. Be careful not to get it too close to eyelids or eyebrows. Definitely need to use sunscreen if outside- skin revealed by peeling is fresh & sensitive to sun.

I've had cystic acne for 25 yrs, since I was 13. Started out then with Rx retin-A liquid that caused severe chemical burns. Over the yrs I've used Rx differin, retinol, benzamycin, oral antibiotics, 3 rounds of Accutane (great while using, caused long-term issues), OTC topicals & kits, ProActiv (horrible redness & scaling), microdermabrasion & eventually a chemical peel that caused severe scarring around my mouth & temples. The acne always came back, usually worse than before. In my late 30s, it's appeared on my face as mostly blackheads, small bumps & 4-6 extremely painful cysts at all times. The cysts also started to appear on my neck & take a month or more to go away. Recent finances have made me just live with it, using generic Blackhead Clearing Scrub w/salicylic acid 2% & clearance Avon mineral makeup. But within 2 hrs of washing my face, I'd feel & look oily. Several wks ago my local Dollar General had closeout Ambi Even & Clear Exfoliating Wash 0.5% salicylic acid on a BOGO sale, so I stocked up at $1.07 each. I saw the ClearZit on the shelf for $1.50, so grabbed a tube to try. I guess it's finally the right combo of salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide for me. I had a cluster of cysts on my temple in the old scar tissue for several wks- very big, burning, very painful. Within hrs of first applying ClearZit, the cysts came to a head, released pressure & began to peel. Within 2 days, a small pink area remained. The peeling effect for me is very similar to with Accutane- mild, not painful at all, & revealing pinker, healthier skin underneath. The old scarring from the chemical burns & previous cysts is also smoother; my skin overall is smoother, pinker & healthier-looking & my pores are smaller & clearer. And no new cysts for more than a week! 2x daily, I wash with Ambi, follow with a light smear of ClearZit, then Avon mineral makeup. I've noticed even better results now that I've cut refined sugars

Pros:

This product has helped me tremendously. large acne take a little longer to go but the little ones go almost overnight. It also prevents acne from coming on.

Cons:

Sometimes there is a little over drying but it is nothing as compared to having sore acne and marks from the acne.

I am forty nine years old and have had acne from a teenager. For the first time in all my life I have found such a product on the market that is so successful for me. I also recommended it to others, most of them were equally amazed and pleased.

Pros:

Works fast and is affordable.

Cons:

It burns but it's not a big deal to me, I just use it at night.

It's awesome and well worth the money! It's already started to clear up my acne and I've only been using it for about a week.

Pros:

works fast
cheap

Cons:

burns (but you get used to it and it only lasts a couple minutes)
slightly drying (just remember to moisturize!)

I really struggled with self confidence with having acne and tried so many things one day, my mom brought it home and said might as well try it.... it worked great after only ONE USE!! i use it twice a day, morning and night, after washing my face. definitely worth the try!! THANK YOU CLEARZIT!!!!!

Pros:

-fast-acting
-not over-drying
-great for everyday maintenance

Cons:

-burns initially, but that does go away
-I've only been able to find it at Dollar General

I've had bad acne since for about eight or nine years. My dermatologist put me on every over the counter and prescription acne medication available, and nothing worked. Eventually i was put on accutane and my acne became lighter, but i still had several bumps. I found this at dollar general about a year ago and said, hey what the heck. now i can't live without this stuff. Any major zits i have are gone in about a day or two, and it keeps the small ones away.

Pros:

-It actually works.
-It dries up and reduces the size of acne overnight.
-Its a very inexpensive product. They always say the cheap stuff never works but this does wonders.

Cons:

While there are some cons to ClearZit to me the Pros far outweigh the Cons. :)
-My face gets really dry & starts to peel.
-It burns, but for only 5 minutes or less.

If you struggle with acne like I do where you have tried just about everything and nothing works then I really believe this is the product for you. I tried ClearZit years ago and it worked then, when I started breaking out badly I knew where to turn. ClearZit is a must have, must buy product. Get it & you will love it!

Pros:

IT WORKS,..I have had skin problems for over 40 years! They are almost gone! It took a few months for my skin to go from severe to almost clear. I love it. I used to hate to look into a mirror. I now daily use a 10 power makeup mirror to help me control those hated blackheads and swollen lumps under my skin. I truly believe that in a few more months, I will have clear skin for the FIRST time in over 40 years! YEA!!

Cons:

You have to pay a price. It may cause pealing of skin. Thats GREAT to allow ClearZit to get deeper into those darn infected pores. If you have ever had a date tell you had bad your skin looked, then there are no cons if this stuff helps.

It may be hard to find, but the net will help you find it. If you hate how you look, this stuff will really help. Maybe even make you zits/blackheads go away. At least it will control them. The best thing I have ever used,..I'm 62! Acme has ruined my self-esteem for over 40 years. Now I have found something that really works!!!! I'm not afraid to look in a mirror when I'm out in public. Don't know if I may need to consider using a sun screen. I just don't care,..my skin is looking BETTER.
