Seriously a miracle!

Pros:

Works great, FAST!
Dries out pimples very quickly.
So cheap.

Cons:

Dryness is good and bad, quite irritating, but very effective.

This product is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I was so skeptical, since I bought it for literally a dollar on sale at Dollar General. But, it's only a dollar, so why not? I've always been apprehensive about benzoyl peroxide treatments because of my sensitive skin, and this one having 10%, I almost didn't even want to put it on my face. Boy, am I glad I did. I've suffered from mild to severe acne over the past seven years, trying everything from prescription, to natural, and to nothing. I use it with Johnson and Johnson Purpose gentle cleanser, a hypoallergenic, soap free cleanser that I can almost swear by. At first, I didn't experience any dryness or redness. I do now, but I really like the burning dryness. It makes me feel like I'm really killing the pimples. If you do experience dryness, even if it itches or burns, DON'T PUT MOISTURIZER ON IT YET. Let it dry out your pimples over night, and then use an extremely moisturizing lotion the next morning. After just one day, the redness and size of the pimples went down tremendously. After two days, it's just a small scab. It is the best product for people who are just ready to give up. I've even put it on a cyst, and it shrunk up to a small white head in just four days. It does not prevent the pimples, but it does kill the ones already present.

Pros:

-drys out zit, FAST.
-very, very amazing results OVERNIGHT.
-won't overdry, unless you put it on the whole face a lot.
-very cheap.
-works greatttt.
-better then ANY acne product I have used & trust me I've used more than my fair share.

Cons:

-it somewhat overdries the skin, but if you use a nice light moisturiser you should be fine.

This acne product works better then most I've used & is very effective and inexpensive. Not many people carry it. But DOLLAR GENERAL does, thats where I got mine. I would definetley reccomend this too anyone that is tired of suffering from acne. :))

Pros:

OMG this stuff is great!!!! I use it with a BP face wash that is avail at wal mart for 4 bucks with a script

Cons:

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had bad acne all my life I have tried every thing even a derm dr who had me on 1000 dollars worth of meds for my combo acne nothing worked I got so frustrated and broke I saw this one day and For a buck I said why the hell not. I love it I have been using it for 5 years in the morning with just a mild none soap face wash, at night after a benzyl peroxide face wash. It works wonders no drying skin or burning or peeling. Just be careful in the sun as with all acne treatments you are extra sensitive. My problem now is my dollar general stopped selling it ..WHY?????

A product that saved my life
I am an older women with adult acne. I would not even take pictures. I tried all the big name products and none of them worked for me. I have battle with this adult acne for seven years now. I went into a dollar store and decided to try Dr. Sheffield Clear Zit Acne Cream. One reason was because the box reminded me of the old ways of the south any way i tried it and within a couple of days i got results three weeks later i"m ready to take pictures again. I and my husband will be taking our first picture together. I just wanted to thank you for giving me life back giving me my smile back. Great product.

Amazing
I love this product! I had been using proactiv and it was working but it was drying out my skin. (Not good!) So I switched to this product and it really works! The only down side is the burning sensation. If you need acne gone fast this is great! My acne was better after my first use!

Pros:

Works

Cons:

hard to find at stores
can over dry skin

This has worked for me for roughly 5 years. I put it on with big globs like a facial mask. It burns pretty bad and will peel my skin but it just kills the acne, I usually put it on in the after noon or at night and in the morning i put on a good moiturizer. I do this about once a week for 3 days. Great product, im surprised its not more popular

Pros:

This stuff is amazing! I have moderate acne. I get blackheads and cysts. I used ProActiv for a few years. It worked very well for a while, but then it stopped working after a few years. I've been searching for another acne remedy. I saw this at my dollar general and thought what the heck. I've used it for two days and ALL of my zits are cleared, and I haven't had another zit pop up! I don't find it over drying or oily.

Cons:

None!

Get this stuff.

Pros:

Clears up acne insanely fast--Over night.

Cons:

Stings and burns really bad when first applied, numbs after maybe 15 minutes. (maybe less or more pain depending on how sensitive your skin is, my skin is very sensitive.)

USE THIS IF YOU ARE HORRIBLE AT BEING CONSISTENT! And don't waste your time and money at a dermatologist! Please just pay a few bucks for this and you don't even have to use it daily.

Pros:

I've only used this once and I can already see a difference! Redness and size of pimples have gone down, and little ones even went away!

Cons:

My skin is a little flaky and dry..nothing an exfoliant and moisturizer can't take care of.

Tingly feeling that makes your face itch.

This is awesome so far! Can't wait to use it longer and hopefully see more results. :)

Pros:

It really really work, just do it right

Cons:

It burns but, it will stop

hi all, This product is great the only thing is if you don't know how to use it, it can really mess you up. So hear is the trick,after school or work you should wash you face, then cleanse and tone (almay seems to work best for me). Then apply clear sit for about 3-4 hours or until the burning or tingle stops and about 9 or 10 at night you then cleanse again and use the avon moisturizing facial cream again it one of the best. The moisturizer must be thick on your face and leave it to be absorbed by the pores. When the majority of it has been adsorbed just massage the the remainder into your face. This technique can be used for any time of the day when you have the most time to spare and it prevents the heavy burns and peeling skin and soon no burning at all, it gives your face a sort of dermatological peel. When you apply it consistently and the burning stops, your face feels clean and revitalized. Every morning don't forget to cleanse, tone and moisturize. It the best way for quick pain free results and beautiful face. P.s. it will burn like sh*t at first but toning, cleansing and moisturizing helps and for best results apply it to your entire face.
