Cons:

Redness
Worsens acne
Dries our skin

It cleared my acne for a couple days and then it got worse. I continued using it and then my skin got really dry and more breakouts appeared.

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:

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:

Something to wash my face with

Cons:

Didn't do nothing for my acne

I used this product for a whole month. Didn't clear not even one pimple for me. Just made my face dry and shiny. Don't waste your time and money. Try something else!!!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of acne. Stings my eyes even when it's not on them, just around them.

Don't buy this product. Did nothing for my skin. I squeezed half of it down the drain, because I wanted to buy a cleanser that actually worked!

Pros:

-had a minty fresh feeling
-seemed to work first few washes
-may make eyes sensitive

Cons:

-destroyed my face

I used this product in combination with Clean and Clear Blackhead Scrub. I had mild to moderate acne and after a few washes things were looking bright. After a week and over the course of a weekend it completely destroyed my chin area (where I had no severe problems before) and cheeks. Watch out for little bumps appearing that will flame up. May work for some....not me :(
