Pros:

Feels cool, leaves face soft and oil free without over-drying.

Cons:

None!

To the user who said it irritated thier eyes, it clearly says "Wet face. Gently massage Continuous Controlâ„¢ Acne Cleanser all over the face for 20-30 seconds, avoiding eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry." I use this product and it works wonders for my skin. After washing my face with the product I then apply the continuous control moisturizer with SPF 15. It works great. For my skin at least.

Pros:

I noticed instant results. Within two days my skin was noticably clearer, and it helps prevent new breakouts.

Cons:

Very strong, and can be drying if you dont use a moisterizer. I just put on moisterizer after I use it and I am fine.

this is a great product. i highly recommend it.

Pros:

You start to see results in the first few days.

Cons:

The scent is way too strong. It also dries your skin out but it's nothing a good moisturizer can't fix.

I've used the Proactiv Solution and many other types of treatments before, but I have not once seen results come as fast as this product. The scent of it is a little overpowering and it makes your eyes start to tear, but you get used to it after a day or two. I've been using this product twice a day for the past four days and already I've noticed that the size and amount of pimples has decreased. Just remember that if you're going outside after you use this stuff, be sure to wear sun block! But put the moisturizer on before you apply the sun block to your face. I highly recommend this product!

Pros:

it made my face feel nice afterwards...and i thought it worked for a couple of days.

Cons:

but a couple of days after using it i realized it's too strong for my semi-sensitive skin. my skin turned bumpy and dry.

use if your skin is normal. but not if it's sensitive.

I used to like this...
I used to like this cleanser, but they changed the ingredients. It now has ingredients that clog my pores like laureth-4. Why do they have to change what ain't broken!?

What do you use now? I have the same issue you are explaining. Does your replacement work?

I LOVE this product!
This is literally the only and I mean ONLY drug store cleanser that has ever worked for me. I have tried Cetaphil, other Clean & Clear products, Neutrogena (you name it). All of them broke me out, no matter how good the reviews were for that product. So, I've pretty much just been using Bioderma for the last three years and gave up entirely on American drug store products. The only down side here is that it can be hard to find on Amazon sometimes and it takes a few days to ship - so if I'm in a pinch and need it asap, I'm in trouble unless I want to pay for expedited shipping. Needless to say, when my boyfriend brought this home from the store (desperate to clear his skin) I was very skeptical. However, after just two days of using this on his face, I could see a HUGE reduction in active acne and his redness even seemed to calm. Since my skin is hyper sensitive to products, to the point where almost nothing works for me.. I was hesitant, but decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did, because this product has seriously impressed me. Not only does it NOT break my sensitive skin out, but it also actually does what it says. It clears my acne & reduces redness! My skin has never looked better since I started using this product. I don't have ANY active acne anymore, which is a miracle for me. I even like the scent and the tingly feeling on my face when I use this cleanser. I will say that after my active acne was cleared, I reduced my usage of this product around every other day or so, as it can be a tad drying if used often.

Good for Teen and Possible Once a Week for Older Skin
My daughter really likes this but it is just a little too much for my skin. I think that I could use this once a week but not as a regular cleanser. Also white sheet and towel alert - it bleaches so use light or white sheets and towels.[link edited out]

Great for controlling light acne
Been using it for maybe a month, and the results are great! Didn't completely diminish the acne, but I can see a huge improvement. Overall, love it!

Pros:

Gets rid of acne and prevents new acne...for the most part.

Cons:

bleaches my hair, makes my skin feel extremely tight, never fails to make my skin shiny all day, burns, causes my skin to get red and itchy whenever i sweat, you have to take it 3 times a day or else you will severely breakout.

Dont ever get this product. You would highly regret it...trust me. I have been using this for over a year now because there is no other medication that really works for me, but thats besides the point. This has made my brown hair completely blonde in the front, made my skin feel as if it were trapped underneath of a mask all day long, made my skin awfully oily and shiny and wherever i go, people ask me why my face is so shiny and ask me if i have highlights in my hair and im sick of it. If you are EXTREMELY desperate to get rid of acne, buy this product, since its your only hope but if you just have average to minor acne, dont get it.
