Pros:

Clears up face within a few days, Inexpensive if you have health insurance ($10)

Cons:

Need a prescription, can cause blotchiness/redness at first,

This has been the best topical product that I have ever used. I have tried everything and I have finally found something that stops all my breakouts and has allowed for my face to heal. I have used Accutane (which was successful at the time) but I don't like to take anything that throws off my internal chemical balance (hormones, etc.) If sulfur products seem to work with your face, I cannot recommend a better product! I wash with the face wash once in the morning and once at night and have actually seen better results when I use the face wash without the topical cream that is supposed to work in conjunction with it. When I use the cream, it tends to dry my face out too much and causes redness/blotchiness. **Give the product about 2 weeks to get used to. By the end of the first bottle of foaming face wash, I had no acne/breakouts and I have never been a happier or more confident person since.

Pros:

Everything is great about the wash.

Cons:

The smell is not pleasant, but you'll get over it.

I am 50 years old and I always had clear skin never acne or zits, until one day I had a rash on my neck and a little on my face and the Dermatologist claimed it was adult acne she prescribed the wash and I have not seen a rash on my neck or face in the last month since starting to use this product. My skin is soft and acne and zit free.

Pros:

Clears up my breakouts and is gentle enough for me to use twice a day on my extremely sensitive skin. Works for my acne and rosacea!

Cons:

The wash doesn't foam like it claims, but if that's the only issue..it's so worth it.

I tried every drug store product avaliable in the past 9 years that I have struggled with acne. Finally, I decided to go to the dermatologist and he prescribed this product and it really does work. I feel happier and more confident than I have in years!

Pros:

I love this Clenia facial wash. I noticed a difference within a couple of days. My skin is smoother and looks better than it ever has. I am 44 and have been battling acne skin since I was a teenager.

Cons:

I use the generic and it doesn't really have that bad of a smell

I would recommend this to anyone to try.

Pros:

Effective, works fast, and refreshing

Cons:

None

Before my dermatologist prescribed this cleanser, I had a bad break out of acne when i used one of the neutrogena cleanser to help me prevent very minor acne problem. But, after using this cleanser, it strictly prevent any new acne to grow, which is the main goal to clear skin. I just had some redness before using the cleanser, but that'll go away. But I would recommend to see a dermatologist or any physician before using this cleanser because i've read some reviews from the users and they use that it made it worse thats simply because of the sentrivetly of your skin is different and it varies which cleanser is more suitable for your skin. SO ask your doctor FIRST.

Pros:

works immediately!!! my face was covered in red, itchy burning bumps... raised bumps that looked like bee stings..whiteheads were horrible...have been dealing with this for years...acne.rosacea along with nerves caused all of this...

Cons:

cream is a little hard to rub in but, no big deal considering the problems i had with my skin

this is my 2nd day of use and it is unbelieveable the difference it has made. i am sure that within a month or less...it will all be gone if such a difference was made in 2 days!! i have been embarassed for years of my skin and so ashamed. it was controlling my life if you can understand that. i have only used the sample so i don't know what the co-pay on my insurance will be. i would recommend it to anybody. i don't smell the odor that i was told it was going to have and i wouldn't really care anyway. i can't say enough. i bet i work more now cause i have taken off of work many times when the 'flare-up' gets really bad because i was so humiliated. my coworkers have commented many times about 'what is wrong with your skin?' i will update in a few weeks...hopefully, my skin has a cure.

Pros:

I started using it a few months ago, and right away noticed a difference. I ran out and then my acne came back. I got a refill and it started workin within a week. I really like how well it works. I have used Proactive also with worsening of my skin.

Cons:

The smell is not too pleasant, does not lather up very well, and doesn't take off makeup very well.

I would recommend this to anyone who has mild acne. It works to take away black heads and little white bumps that i had. I would say that i didnt have any new pimples after using it except with "that time of the month".

Pros:

Easy to use, easy to apply. Cream disappears after application. I am able to wear makeup over the cream.

Cons:

it smells (sulfur) but I did get used to it.

Clenia was a MIRACLE for me. I have suffered from cystic acne for 15 years. I had tried EVERYTHING short of accutane. It wasn't until my doctor finally diagnosed me with sebborheic dermatitis and granulomatous rosacea that we started this treatment. Within a month I was CYST FREE.

Pros:

Excellent! I had horrible acne only on my forehead and this soap has cleared up my skin in about one week. Almost all whiteheads are gone. I no longer have cystic acne, etc. It is truly great.

Cons:

Smells horrible, but you get use to it overtime.

Thankfully I have insurance and it pays a good portion of the price. However, if I didn't I would still get this product. I use this in conjunction with Differin (just on the forehead area) and use La Roche-Posay's Rosaliac moisturizer, which eliminates all the red in my face. Great combo for those who have moderate acne.
