Pros:

prevents and treats some acne, doesn't dry out skin

Cons:

if I don't spend time making sure I've washed all the residue off, my skin gets very oily by afternoon.
doesn't work as well for me as other products with BP have.

More like 3.5/5. by no means miraculous results, but I'm allergic to salicyclic acid and can hardly find any other products without it! still, this works well enough and doesn't seem to make my acne worse. I switched to Oxy a while ago, which has been MUCH better. Both have the same amount of benzoyl peroxide so I'm not sure what the difference is. sensitive combination skin, cysts and whiteheads mostly.

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:

Gave you that Morning Fresh feeling, cold feel it working

Cons:

Didn't really help acne, dried skin up, burned a lot with other products/medications

It's good for people who just want to wash their face up and who don't really get acne.

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:

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.

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 (:

Pros:

None

Cons:

It didn't do anything for my skin and it bleached all of my clothes. I broke out just as much as normal.

I think it is a waste of money and not very effective. I have combination skin and I'm somewhat sensitive.
