Pros:

cleared up my forehead

Cons:

Cheeks look worse and BP may not be so good for your skin

This product worked well for me as a teen so I thought I would try it again. I guess my skin is different now because it is not working even after 4 weeks. It has really dried out my skin and I am getting to the age where I cant afford that. (I'm starting to see a loss of firmness from all these products.) I've found that the peroxide in most acne products makes my spots from previouos breakouts darker. I've even read that the reaction it causes in your skin is simmilar to what happens when you're exposed to the sun. I've since stopped using products with that ingredient and my spots have really started to fade (its been less than a week) before they would look darker after I'd wash.

not sure
I am really not sure about this. my skin used to be oily and now it's dry. I thought it kind of helped but I am not sure if I should continue. I am really insecure about my acne and don't know what to do. I also use this other acne cream called epiduo forte along with this.

stings but effective if you can stand it.
this was awesome for my skin when I was younger, but man does it burn something fierce. I never used a moisturizer with it, so it would dry out the areas around my mouth and eyes pretty badly.

Pros:

-Feels SO refreshing after washed off
-Gentle, good for sensitive skin
-Does not dry out your skin at all, leaves it feeling so soft
-Does not make your skin oily

Cons:

-Not very effective on acne

I was dying to try this product out because I saw so many good reviews on it. I really love the tingly sensation after being washed off. I really like that about Clean and Clear cleansers. It was a nice creamy consistency, and gentle. But after using the entire bottle, not much happened to my acne.

Pros:

-cooling feeling that does last
-works for a little while
-no harsh smell
-10% benzyol peroxide treatment without drying out my skin if used even more than once a day

Cons:

-no immediate results acne seems worse actually

an okay product but a typical over the counter product with typical results.

Pros:

clears acne, pleasant tingle, makes face feel clean, removed make-up, bring pimples to head

Cons:

tingle is actually bad for you- irritating skin. left face with blotchy large, red pores after 3.5 weeks of use. smells awful, then you get used to it. burns when you get anywhere near eyes

At first this product was a miracle, but after using 2 times a day, my skin just became oilier to compensate for the extreme drying of this product and I already had oily skin. The blotchy, painful, large red pores were awful. I would not recommend using this product.

Pros:

minty cool fresh feeling afterwards

Cons:

it BURNS at first. when i washed it off, my face was red and blotchy.

no noticeable results. except it feels like it burns off a layer of my skin.... minty fresh.... but no results....

Pros:

Contains 10% benzoyl peroxide
drys oily skin

Cons:

Smells terrible, bleaches things
The company does not fill the bottle all the way so you get less than expected
Causes more breakouts

this is not a good cleanser. it made my skin feel like it had a film over it. It also bleaches things so dont get it on your clothes or towels. the only way this even began to improve my skin was as a spot treatment. but if you sleep in it, it will bleach your pillows. Bottom Line. there are much better cleansers that control oil.such as noxzema. It does more harm than good
