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:

This product works amazing in treating my acne. I had been using saylic acid products up until I started using this. I grabbed it in a hurry, not knowing that peroxide was the main ingredient. What luck!

Cons:

I sometimes use this product up to 3 times a day when I want to freshen my skin. Never once has it dried my skin out. NO CONS!

This product is amazing! It works well with my skin and I hope it never gets discontinued. I'm hooked. I only wish I would have thought to switch from saylic acid cleansers sooner. With those, I got nothing but red, blotchy skin that was constantly drying out. This cleanser cleans well and heals acne. It also prevents new zits from forming. It has never dried out my skin and I use it up to 3 times a day. The key is to rub it in, gently, for approximately 20 seconds all over your face. Then, rinse off.. rinse well, so that you don't leave any dirt or oil on your face. Pat dry.

Pros:

CLEARS UP ACNE
helps leave behind smooth, soft skin
helps sooth red marks with cooling properties
one bottle goes a looong way

Cons:

dries up skin pretty bad when just beginning to use

I began using this after reading about the Regimen and finding out that my other facial cleanser did not follow the Rules. I began to use it every day and night, but for my skin that was too much, as it began to dry. So now I consistently use this every night with my moisturizer and spot treatment and have been for a little more than 2 weeks. MY SKIN IS TOTALLY CLEAR! My skin is also very smooth and soft, something I haven't felt in a long time. Try it!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Both my sister and I used this product and we both, within varying hours of use, experienced severely swollen and puffy eyes. The puffiness has continued into the next day with itchiness, and is the kind of reaction that you'd need sunglasses to cover if you have to go out for any public outings. My sister had to schedule a visit to her doctor and will miss work because of it.

Something in this formula can cause user's eyes to swell to horrifying levels. I've read that others have experienced this, and cannot recommend this product, even though Johnson & Johnson and Clean & Clear are brands that I've trusted over the years. This product is going directly in the garbage, after a call to Johnson & Johnson's corporate office.

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.

My Holy Grail

Pros:

Helps teenage acne
Works fast
Good price

Cons:

none

I've tried every product out there for my severe teenage acne. After using this for two weeks day and night no moisturizer it was ALL GONE and it has stayed gone after a month. It's INSANE. I've tried literally every drugstore product out there and this is the only one that's helped. The products I had tried previously all had Salicylic Acid as the acne fighting ingredient so if that doesn't work for you I highly recommend this. It's not drying on me, and I never use moisturizer. It has a slightly tingly feeling while you're using it and it leaves your skin feeling clean and cool.
