Pros:

Works fairly well if used correctly
Does not dry out skin

Cons:

Does not work unless you use it once a day, every day. If you use it 3 or 4 times a week it will not work very well. If you use it more than once a day it will dry out skin.

Use it once a day every day and this is definitely a good addition to your skin care routine

Pros:

-Smells great!
-Clears acne fast and effectively
-Great for oily skin

Cons:

-It doesn't exfoliate, so you might have to exfoliate along with using the product

I'm 13 and I have moderately oily skin and this cleanser really clears up the oil. It also banishes pimples AND blackheads in a matter of a week or so and helps your skin in the long-run by stopping breakouts from happening in the first place. It has a great menthol smell and makes you skin feel clean after use.

Pros:

good price
smells great
love the foam
cleans skin by getting rid of dirt & oil
YOU ONLY NEED THE SIZE OF A DIME

Cons:

Its not a miracle product but it does work

I have been using this for about a month or so. i use it once a day at night because in the morning i use cetaphil oily skin cleanser. Anyway i used it by myself for awhile and then i bought clean&clear toner (orange) and it stings , buut im not sure if it gets the job done because i use exact mousterizer and the mousterizer clogs pores i just got 5 whiteheads overnight. But i would say the clean&clear continous control cleaser is great! its been helping me.

Pros:

Tingly Feeling :)

Cons:

It didn't work for ME :( not sure why though.

Don't take my word for this but it did not work for me. I think it only works on deep pimples and not milia (is that what tiny zits are called?) It didn't work for me. It may work for you.

Pros:

Fairly effective, but no a miracle cure.

Cons:

Extremely drying.

I've been using this product for about a week. Initially, I liked it a lot because it was clearing up some bumps that had been on my face and preventing any new ones from forming. However, my skin has begun to dry out unbelievably. I have the strangest skin ever. One second it's oily and the next it's dry or sometimes it feels really dry but looks really oily/shiny. Everytime I used it, I would follow it with Pond's Dry Skin Cream. I think it's definitely worth a try, you never know what's going to work for you. I think I'm just going to use it once every two or three days and use a much gentler cleanser the rest of the time. Hope it works better for others :)

Pros:

leaves face really clean, clears up acne FAST!, awesome price, all-in-all good product

Cons:

a little bit of dry skin.. just use a good moisterizer & youre good!! other than that i love this productt!!

I love this, it's a life saver!! I was using Proactiv, it was alright but wasn't getting rid of all of my acne...and it was expensive on my tight budgett~~ So I decided to buy this and after just ONE day of using it twice my face was SOOOOO much better~! Most of my pimples had dried up, and the ones that were there were so much smaller!!! So I've been using it for a month now and I barely have any pimples left! The occasional 1 or 2, but my skin is so smooth and clean.I would reccomend using a good oil-free moisterizer after washing you face with this.. it can dry it out a bit. ( I use the Clean & Clear dual action moisterizer) Again, I love this & wouldn't live without it. :) I feel so much more confident!!!!

Pros:

Absolutely amazing. I've been using it for like 6 months now and I've only gotten like 2 pimples since then. I luuurve it. I used to have like a bunch of acne and now NOTHING!!!

Cons:

none

Also lasts A LOT! I just squeeze out like 1/2 inch which I wash my face with in shower every day. Here is the key I think. Don't like scrub or rub at your face bcs that GIVES YOU acne. Just gently spread it on your face like lotion. Scrub a teeny tiny bit with fingertips. Then wash it off. Works like a charm. But don't scrub your face with anything else ever. Not with one of those little face scrubs or ANYTHING!! When you dry your face PAT it dry. (I only scrub my nose bcs looks bad under makeup if I don't. But that's just bcs I don't get acne on my nose.) So yeah if you're one of those people that thinks scrubbing at your face will make your acne go away, you're wrong. NEVER EVER SCRUB. Enjoy amazing product!

Pros:

clears up skin, gives a fresh, cool feeling (menthol)

Cons:

contains oil, dries out skin, bleaches things

Before I used C&C products, my acne was pretty bad. Then I bought their entire acne kit which helped SO much. After that ran out, I bought this. I have used this for over a year now and I use nothing else because nothing has worked as well as this, not even prescription medication. I suppose this just works well with my skin and I can understand that it may not work for everyone. However, I suggest you give it a try. This honestly took my acne from pretty darn bad to almost nothing. Try it out.

Pros:

Fast acting, refreshing feeling, clears even severe acne.

Cons:

Stings, a bit harsh for dry to normal skin, made skin flaky at first.

I had been using this product since the beginning of 2008. Luckily that same year I experienced my first Christmas totally 100 % acne free and 90% scar free. around February I decided to change to Murad. It broke my skin out like never before, I got acne in places that I had never had acne before. It was horrible. Then I switched back and now all my acne is gone, but I still have a few scars. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT if you have moderate to severe acne!

Pros:

Inexpensive, One Step, Works on Stubborn Acne, Works on Hormonal Skin

Cons:

NONE!

I've used every acne product on the market from the cheapest to the most expensive. I've also used prescription drugs and seen a dermatologist. Nothing ever worked for me. I read a review on this product and thought I'd give it a shot as my last attempt. It worked immediately and has worked for the last four months I've been using. I used it while I nursed my son, after I stopped nursing, and while I've started my menstral cycle and started birth control. With all those hormonal changes, I was afraid my acne would become immune to the product. Not at all. I would recommend this to anyone. It's the best ever! At the lower cost, I would definitely say you should give it a try if you have moderate to severe acne. I HAD severe acne. However, don't expect it to clear up your scars. Note: If I do get a pimple, I will put Bye-Bye Blemish Drying Lotion on it overnight and it's gone in the AM. Since using C&C I haven't had more than one pimple at a time. HUGE change from what I've had.
