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:

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 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.

Pros:

-rather effective
-nice minty after-feel

Cons:

-stron medication, careful if your skin is very prone to drying

Ok, let's face it, you're stupid if you use Benzoyl Peroxide anywhere near your eyes. The same goes to pretty much any other acne product out there, excluding the herbal solutions. This is a good product for people who want fast results and who know how to moisturize their skin. If your skin is sensitive, go with a lower concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

Clears acne!!! from little bumps to real pimples

Cons:

none

The only over the counter product that cand take care of acne, dosen't dry my skin, feels tingly and refreshing... and clears up my face every single time I use it. It's truly amazing!!! If you don't have severe acne, and don't want to go into deep medical treatments... this product is the best!

Pros:

I like the bottle idea,which is practical for travel.Seems to make my skin glow and fresher. Acne seems to get better, and pimples are smaller and lighter. Ok smell :).Can be drying but works great with the Clean and Clear dual action moisturizer

Cons:

Not all of my acne has disapeared. Not many people have noticed the acne that HAS dissapeared.CAn be drying without a moisturizor

This is a great product.I may buy it again, or i may try the advantage acne control kit. This is much better than anything I have used before( Neutrogena Deep Clean cleanser/astrigent/moisturizer)I'm very glad I tried this product, and so far I am pleased with Clean&Clear and want to try more products from their line. As a 13 year old with VERY SEVERE ACNE(i'm taking horrible acne) its hard to find a product that works pretty well. While this product did not create any miracles for my acne,I have to say that I am very thankful for using this product.
