Pros:

This product dries up my oily skin breakouts within a day or two. I also use it right after shaving, it keeps razor bumps to a minimum. It has also cleared up areas of my face that had dark spots from past breakouts.

Cons:

Over using it on unaffected areas can cause dry patches.

I would recommend it to teens and adults. At 3.00 for the tube it is less expensive than most other name brand products. Even though it is a small tube you only need a small amount. It works so well it last me up to 3 months and longer. A dollar a month isn't bad. I was really happy to notice the old dark spots gone. It does give you a slight burning sensation when you use it on a freshly washed face, but that may be from scrubbing the face too hard during cleansing which is what I tend to do. I've gotten a good routine now. I use a mild soap (don't scrubb too hard), a mild astringent, (again use a light touch), and finally the Clearzit on the fingertips and apply it only on the area that needs it.

Pros:

It clears your face quickly
Dries the zit and prevents it from coming back

Cons:

dries your skin and can make it flaky and irritable

I used Clearzit for 2 years and I have never had a problem with my acne. When I switched to something different because my local dollar store stopped selling it, I broke out badly. I immediatly traveled a state down the map and found a tube at their dollar store. If your skin gets really dry and flaky, I suggest using Olay products after washing your face and before you use the Clearzit. That's what I use and it is a great combo.

Pros:

you feel the clean feeling right away!

Cons:

a little burning, but i'd rather have that than acne!

i've been using proactiv, it's worked for my face, but it's definately too expensive. i drink A LOT of pepsi and fat foods, i'm trying to better that though lol. my grandmother bought it for me, and it really looks like it's working. i love the feeling. great product.

Pros:

SUPER Cheap
Works VERY well
continues working over time
You know when it's done working because it disappears

Cons:

Burns a lot if you're not used to it, but it's totally worth it

I've been trying to find something for my acne for over 4 years. I tried nearly everything, also more expensive solutions. I saw this stuff at dollar general and thought why not. It seriously showed results within hours. I put it on at night, then when I woke up, my face was clearer than it's been since I was probably 12. I love this stuff!

Pros:

Worked in one day! No redness on my skin. Had bad acne since 5th grade to being a senior in high school. Found out about it in my senior year from a friend.

Cons:

I still have mild breakouts throughout the month... especially around THAT time of the month. Still waaayyy better than it was before! Looked like I had chicken pox before!

This stuff works better than anything! I tried Oxy, Noxema, Clearasil, Proactiv Solution, Sea Breeze, Stridex, and some kind of pH cleanser and stuff. NONE of that worked... in fact it made it way worse. Even my mom said I have much clearer skin at the age of 18 than she did! And I'm 25 now so I've been a proud user for years. Unfortunately I have to take a med for depression and another one for seizures and it makes it worse, but still not near as bad as I had it before. My skin craves it because it doesn't make my skin red or burn. I tried it on at a friend's house thinking it really wasn't going to work for dirt cheap. But the redness started going down in one or two hours after and by the end of the week my skin was clear!!! I love this stuff. I hope they never stop making it!!

Pros:

It works very well! I used it twice a day for 2 days and my pimples dried up great! Didnt expect this kind of result from a cheap product!

Cons:

It itches a bit a few minutes after u apply it, but that makes u feel that it's working!

Great price and a very good result. At most i thought it would simply dry my face and make the pimples less noticeable, but it dried the pimples totally and cleared it too! So good product.
