It's really working

Pros:

Reduces acne
Feels amazing on your skin

Cons:

Makes pimples a bit red

I started using it when I only had a few pimples and when the acne got really bad I used a different product but it was really working so I tried going back to clean and clear and this product really did improve my skin slowly in a few days I'm already seeing clear spots and the acne is getting less visible

- Works quickly

Cons:

- Could be drying without a moisturizer.

I slept at a friend's house and noticed a few new spots on my face. She let me use the clean and clear cleanser . The next morning they were visibly smaller. Amazing product!!

Pros:

Reduces break outs
Clean tingly sensation
Very good for sensitive skin
Reduces size of pores
Allows other products I use to work more effectively
Gentle

Cons:

If not rinsed fast enough it leaves my skin feeling a little tight for an hour or so
Can cause increased inflammation on tender areas (use sparingly)
Dries skin ever so slightly. (Gentle and light moisturizer is recommended)

It is a great product if you have stubborn skin that does not like to respond to any of your efforts or if your skin is very sensitive. However do not use in excess amounts and make sure to rinse thoroughly but GENTLY because the BP in it can cause some dryness and being rough on your skin can increase irritation. (Believe in the wash cloth myth? Dont use it it damages your skin! Gently use your fingertips best used in the shower a for gentle rinse.)

Pros:

Clear Acne
Gives a Refreshing Feeling

Cons:

Too much will cause a reaction
Dries Skin (Use Moisturizer)

I love this product. But you have to be really careful not to use too much. 10% BP is high, and if you use too much it'll give you an allergic reaction (Small little bumps). I use it as a face wash at least 2 times a day. 3 times a day at most. I sometimes use it as a spot treatment too! But not a lot, only the places you need it, and just a little over that pimple or pimples. Be careful not to get it in your eyes, it will sting/burn! Some people say it bleaches their hair, but it hasn't done anything to mine. If you have sensitive skin, try a little patch of your skin to make sure you don't react to it. I have to be super careful because my older sister is highly allergic to BP! Good Luck! :)

Pros:

Clears acne
Clean smell
Works fast

Cons:

Makes my face itch sometimes after use

I have been using this product for about a week now and so far it seems to be clearing my face. My face broke out bad, my chin, forehead, and cheeks. My face was looking like a pepperoni pizza it was that bad! I've always had light acne but this was so embarrassing I didn't even want to leave the house. So I got on here and read good reviews about the product. I use this product twice a day usually. In the morning and afternoon I work nights so I hardly ever wash my face at nighttime. I try to exfoliate my face every other day with aveeno smart essentials scrub. Then I use clearasil ultra rapid action treatment were my acne is mainly at. To moisturize I use eucerin daily protection Moisturizing face lotion. That seems to be working for me so far. Bottom line this product worked for me so yes I would recommend it.

Best cleanser I've found. Now it's no longer on the market???

Cons:

None

This is a very good product that I've used for a couple years. How come it is now out-of-stock everywhere I look? It's not even available on-line.

Cooling sensation
Skin feels clean and refreshed

If I don't rinse it off fast enough, it can cause some redness and dryness.

This is the face wash I've been using for the past 5 or so years. I won't use anything else.

Pros:

Clears up 95% of your acne

Cons:

Rare find

I cannot begin to explain how many acne products I've been using since i was 11 yrs old. (Im now 20) Though it hasn't and won't take away ALL my pimples for good,it works wonders for me. The product is awesome. I use Morning burst scrub followed by the clean and clear blue astringent twice a week. That also helps. But using these 3 products as once WILL dry out ur skin. Get an oil free moisturizer. . But i do use the Continuous control everyday at least one. Twice according to my discretion. I would definitely recommend it. 2 pimples are better than 13. Im yet to find a product that'll give me 100% smooth clear skin.

Pros:

Clears most acne
Cheap
It's easy to find

Cons:

Does not get rid of all acne

I started this product about a week ago. The results aren't amazing. However, it did get rid of most of my pimples. I still get the occasional break out but, the severity of my break outs are a lot better. It didn't really do much for my acne marks. It has a nice cooling feeling after you use it. Sometimes when a pimple is really bad I'll put a bit on it before a go to bed and in the morning it is significantly better. I've heard that it could dry your skin out but my skin feels fine after I wash. In the end I would recommend this product but do not expect all of your acne to be gone. You'll still get some break outs.
