Pros:

Smells decent
Lasts a while
Easy to apply
Fairly cheap
Works on my acne for 1-2 months

Cons:

Dries skin, especially around upper chin and cheek bones
Makes skin slightly oily
Doesn't work on tougher acne

This is a pretty good product if you don't have sensitive skin, just avoid upper chin and inner-cheek areas if you don't some skin irritation. It made my entire face a little red, but since I am pretty tan it didn't really matter to me. Not meant for continuous use, use for a month at max unless it keeps working ((it probably wont))

Pros:

You could really feel this cleanser cleaning away at your skin. Personally, I love the cooling after-effect.

Cons:

After washing, I'd get this crazy oil build up in matter of minutes!

This cleanser is not built for overtime usage. I've come to realize that my skin after 2-3 washes, would get immune to this product. So it no longer works. Sure, at first, my skin adapted great, aftwards......It just built up more oil! And my acne would get red as well.

Pros:

Nice and tingly

Cons:

Left skin very oily!
Made my skin worse!

I have very oily skin to begin with, so if yours is a bit drier than mine, this may work for you. But for mine, it was a disaster. It felt nice for about fifteen minutes, and then, bam! Oil!

Pros:

Clean feeling afterwards.. besides that, nothing.

Cons:

Everything... dry, burning skin, swollen-ness, chapped my lips.

I have moderate acne breakouts every now and then so I switch back and forth between different brands (Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Clearasil, Proactiv, etc). I ran out of one cleanser, so I decided to try this one. I don't consider my skin to be sensitive at all and I can usually use anything on my face without any problems. This product, however, was different. Right after I used it for the first time (which was at night), there was an immediate burning sensation all over my face. Not the usual tingling, but absolute burning. When I woke up in the morning, my skin was bright red, flaking, and my eyes were swollen (and I didn't use the product on my eyes, just near them). That night, for some reason, I used the product again. The next morning there was even more redness, my eyes were nearly swollen shut, my skin was even more flaky, my lips had become chapped and were starting to split open, and the burning sensation lasted all day. I immediately threw the product away when I got home and would never recommend this product to anyone. I usually love Clean & Clear, but I have no idea what happened. :(

Pros:

Cleared up white heads, major zits, eats off dirt, oil, and makeup

Cons:

Can bleach fabrics if you're not careful, drys out skin without minimal use of a lotion, doesn't do much for blackheads

I LOVE this product. It cleared up my skin beautifully, after fighting with acne since i was twelve. I've tried proactiv, and prescription cleansers and treatments like benzaclin but nothing has worked as well as this. My skin is all but flawless these days when it's paired with the lotion and spot treatment. I do still have the occasional breakout but it's not NEARLY as intense as what it used to be. If you don't use a lotion with it, it can be very drying (but with 10% bp, how can it not be?) I highly recommend it. It's cheap, it's effective, and has given me a lot more confidence. Good luck to all!

Pros:

You can feel it fighting the dirt!! I literally can feel my skin getting cleaned and it also gives my skin a great look afterwards!

Cons:

The smell!

My acne was really annoying so I looked for key acne fighting ingredients and found this one has a reasonable amount of bp along with zinc! And it was the smartest choice I made. My acne is finally in control and even my scars are fading:)
