Pros:

It feels soooooo good when you put it on your face. Nice and tingly. :D I just started today, lets see how it does.

Cons:

Ok----this is to people who are complaining about drying out and burning and such...one reason why it may be doing that is because you're using toooooo much. Steer clear of your eyes or it will burn and you may want to not get too close to your hair.

I really LOVE the feeling i get when i put it on my face in the shower. Just put it on rub in circles for a couple of seconds then wash off...the bp might sink into your pores if you let it sit on there for too long. Also, make sure you use a moisturizer that says "won't clog pores" or "non-comedemic" or something along those lines. I can't wait to see how well this works. Wish me luck :D

Pros:

Makes red spots fade, some spots seem to be going away now

Cons:

Really burns the skin, makes it go dry

This product is quite good, it hasnt made a lot of my spots go away but my parents and my sister are all saying that my skin is looking a bit clearer. I have only been using this product for 3 days, but now it really does burn my skin. I am using neutrgoena oil free acne moisturizer after using this to make my skin no longer be as dry after using the product. Just be aware that this product does burn the skin quite a bit, but all in all my spots are fadng away.

Pros:

This worked great for me, it didn't clear all of my acne... but a lot of it!

Cons:

Stops working as strong as the start

Its a great product, but doesn't clear everything.

Pros:

Started working VERY fast. Didn't irritate my skin. Reasonably well priced.

Cons:

After a long time of use, skin can get used to it.

I've had acne for about 8 or 9 years. I have used absolutely every product on the shelves, I've taken pills- everything. This product is the one that was actually effective. It didn't COMPLETELY clear up my skin, but it improved dramatically. I've used this product for over a year with wonderful results. The only problem is that my skin is getting used to the medication. However, with consistent use, it will get the job done. It can dry your face out, so I would highly recommend the Advantage moisturizer (in the silver bottle). Works the BEST.

Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

can dry out skin

I have oily skin and if I use too much of this, it will dry out my skin. Overall, this is the best product I have used.

Pros:

It clears up acne fast, faster than the other products I've used. This is the only one that actually works for me. It doesn't dry out the skin, and it smells pretty good for a medicated cleasner.

Cons:

It kinda takes a while for the stuff to clear up your acne.It could bleach your clothes or towels, so you gotta be careful. But this hasen't happened to me yet, so... And it seems to kinda clog up your pores.

It IS a very good cleanser/acne wash. It clears your acne fairly fast and its consistently working. It smells nice and is easy to wash off. I've tried Neutrogena, but theirs gave me even more acne, so my mom picked this out for me. It's great. But it does clog up your pores. I advise exfoiliating before washing. All in all, its the best acne cleanser I've used.

Pros:

It smells nice and gives you a nice tingly feeling afterwards.

Cons:

I honestly don't see a difference.

After I'm done washing my face, it FEELs cleaner, but I see no difference. It doesn't make my sking better or worse.

Pros:

It smells good and rinses off clean. Does not leave any film on your skin.

Cons:

A little over-drying

I used this for about a month and it worked great at first then I started to breakout again! I honestly think though that was because it was drying my skin out and I was not using the proper kind of moisturizer..I think the kind I was using clogged my pores and caused further breakouts. Overall though as long as your skin isn't too sensitive you should be fine.

Pros:

Really works! I use it in combination with Clean & Clear Daily Pore Toner and Clean & Clear Advantage Moisturizer and I get the same results as ProActiv for a cheaper price. Doesn't dry my skin at all like the salicylic acid products I've tried.

Cons:

Bleaches towels, can burn eyes if you're not careful.

It works for me but apparently not for some people - what works truly is an individual thing I guess. For $5 it's worth a try though.
