Pros:

Clears acne, smells nice, clean feeling

Cons:

well it has BP in it so starting off be careful not to overdo it.

I few people here said the "tingly" feeling meant it was burning your skin. But don't worry, that isn't true.. if you will read the ingredients it has MENTHOL in it. If you have sensitive skin dont start off using this twice a day, just once and work your way up. But it did clear my acne in about two weeks and has continued to keep it clear. I'm very happy with this product... never been happier actually. I also used to have INCREDIBLY oily skin... after an hour my makeup would be coming off because of all the oil but now all day long i'm good. I just occasionally pat it with some toliet paper at work on my forehead but that's it. I use this twice a day, in the morning i put it on my face in the shower and rub it around like usual, then I let it sit there for a minute before washing off. At night.. i put it on and use a washcloth to exfoliate then i wash it off. I then apply a layer of it and let it sit for a bit like a mask.. then wash off. This is my method that works but may not work for everyone.

Pros:

it actually works and its not that expensive, one bottle lasts for about 2 monthes

Cons:

face is a little bit red after i use it, but then it clears up and my face is pimple free!!

its one of the acne washes that actually works and is generally inexpensive. Its key ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which kills acne bacteria

Pros:

Has cleared my skin up! I was on Accutane before but afterwards my acne would always come back. I have tried many other products - ProActiv, Mary Kay, etc. None have worked as well as this for me.

Cons:

Bleaches fabric so be careful when using it.

I used Benzyl Peroxide cream (spelling?) a year ago as this site recommends and it worked as long as I was consistent with it. The problem: it was a tedious procedure and it really dried my skin out. This face wash gives me the same clear results as with the cream but without the hassle and dry skin. Plus, it's cheap. Always nice. :) Note: So you girls know, I am also on the pill which I think helps reduce hormonal related breakouts. As well, I use a small amount of Jojoba oil in the morning to soften and moisturize plus a regular moisturizer. I definitely think this product is a life saver for me! I have always had a strange combination skin which was prone to dryness and breakouts. This helps both factors.

Pros:

You don't have to worry about a 4/5 step process, just wash morning & night with this and straight away your skin feels clean & spots will start to clear up.

Cons:

I don't have anything bad to say, apart from how much it's now costing me since it's not available to buy in the UK.

AMAZING!!! I used this face wash the entire time i lived in Australia (18 months) & now i'm home in England i've had to resort to ordering it online & paying crazy shipping costs, but it's worth every penny as it's just THAT good. I've tried every possible cure for my skin, shop-bought, prescription-only & online medicines from the US but this is the only one where i noticed immediate results & it carried on working.

Pros:

You can feel it fighting the dirt!! I literally can feel my skin getting cleaned and it also gives my skin a great look afterwards!

Cons:

The smell!

My acne was really annoying so I looked for key acne fighting ingredients and found this one has a reasonable amount of bp along with zinc! And it was the smartest choice I made. My acne is finally in control and even my scars are fading:)

Kinda dries your skin out, which is good for pimples but bad for regular skin so use a moisturizer.

USE IT. YOU'LL HAVE CLEAR ACNE FREE SKIN!

Pros:

- Clears skin
- Clean Feeling
- I have NOT experienced DRY skin (with Dan's Regimen I had excessively dry skin and discoloration)

Cons:

NONE

I stopped using Dan's Acne.org Regimen after a year. The Regimen began to excessively dry out my skin, my skin looked very discolored/dark and my breakouts were getting persistent. I didn't change anything, I had been following the regimen as ordered. The regimen DID clear up my skin greatly, however towards the final months my breakouts were coming more often and they were large-cystic like breakouts and no matter how strict I was with my regimen and maintaining a healthy lifestyle- my breakouts persisted. Suffering with adult acne is tough. I'm in my late 20's and a female and work in an environment where I have to constantly interact with people.. So, I did some research and came to the conclusion that benzoyl peroxide does in face work better at my particular acne than salicylic acid. And I noticed that it had worked to clear up my friend's moderate to severe acne. I have been using this product for over a week and noticed a dramatic difference in how my skin looks and feels. I have yet to wake up with a large cystic breakout. This is so much easier and less time consuming than Dan's Regimen. I couldn't be happier with Clean&Clear's Continuous Cleanser!

Pros:

- Helps clear up acne on the back with a loofah
- Prevent new ones from forming (pimples, big cysts, etc.)
- Cheap and can be found anywhere
- Lasts me a month (for the back)

Cons:

- Doesnt remove all oils and dirt from skin without a exfloliator or loofah!!!
- Can be somewhat drying
- Intial Breakout for the first week
- Toxic smell

It helped keep my back clear along with Apple Cider Vinegar. I use it in the shower everyday. But i never used it on my face, I'm scared it may hurt and dry out my face.

Pros:

Cheap
Works fast
Leaves skin feeling soft, and clean
Continues working long after you wash

Cons:

Uncomftorable tingly sensation, long after wash (but this means, it's working)

It's really good, I've tried alot of things, and my dermatologist put me on 8% benzoyl peroxide wash, and I would use that and it would be pretty expensive around 20 dollars a tube. This is cheap, has the same ingrediants, and honestly it works better, it's a higher concentration and it keeps on working, it's a "time-release" so long after you wash it's still working. Cleared my skin really fast, definetly worth it.

Pros:

-keeping my face clear
-the way your face feels after using it (its like a good tight feeling that is very refreshing)
-easy to find in stores
-reduces my oiliness

Cons:

-used to make my face dry but i just used a moisturizer and it went away

I used to have HORRIBLE acne when i was in middle school/first year of high school. I have gone through DOZENS of acne products and none have seemed to work as well as this does! I still have some pimples show up every once in awhile, but i just dab a little on it while i sleep and the next morning it has shrunk! I have very oily skin, i use it twice everyday and i love this (:
