QUESTION!!!!
First time I used an acne cleanser on just some pimples, after a few days I almost had no pimples left but then today I've broken out (usually only get one, never really break out) to some pimples that really sting. Could this product be drying out my skin too much? And could anyone recommend a moisturizer that doesn't give you pimples, because most of them always break me out.

Pros:

Cheep
Effective
Fresh feeling

Cons:

Dry skin /:

I wear a lot of make-up to cover my break outs. I typically break out on my cheeks, and on my chin. The spots can be verrryyyy bad, to the point where I don't want to leave my house. And considering I'm a high school girl, the way you look means EVERYTHING. I've been using this product for maybe a month now. I've developed my own system which is starting to work for me. I use Clean & Clear make-up removing wipes, then The Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. (10%BP) Then I use C&C Deep Cleaning Astringent, (0.5% SA) and after, I use C&C Spot Lotion, (2% SA) I still have marks, which I expected. The majority of my acne has gone away, but I do still have the pesky ones that won't go away. I expect that with any product though. And you HAVE to stick with it, or it won't work for you. But I'd say that yes, it works and I'd recommend it (: P.S- I'd follow most of the instructions, but leave the Continuous Control on for longer that 30 seconds like the bottle says. Go for about a minuet of lathering, then get your hands wet and lather again. It seems to work better that way-for me at least. (:

Pros:

Works fairly well if used correctly
Does not dry out skin

Cons:

Does not work unless you use it once a day, every day. If you use it 3 or 4 times a week it will not work very well. If you use it more than once a day it will dry out skin.

Use it once a day every day and this is definitely a good addition to your skin care routine

Pros:

-Smells great!
-Clears acne fast and effectively
-Great for oily skin

Cons:

-It doesn't exfoliate, so you might have to exfoliate along with using the product

I'm 13 and I have moderately oily skin and this cleanser really clears up the oil. It also banishes pimples AND blackheads in a matter of a week or so and helps your skin in the long-run by stopping breakouts from happening in the first place. It has a great menthol smell and makes you skin feel clean after use.

Pros:

good price
smells great
love the foam
cleans skin by getting rid of dirt & oil
YOU ONLY NEED THE SIZE OF A DIME

Cons:

Its not a miracle product but it does work

I have been using this for about a month or so. i use it once a day at night because in the morning i use cetaphil oily skin cleanser. Anyway i used it by myself for awhile and then i bought clean&clear toner (orange) and it stings , buut im not sure if it gets the job done because i use exact mousterizer and the mousterizer clogs pores i just got 5 whiteheads overnight. But i would say the clean&clear continous control cleaser is great! its been helping me.

Pros:

clears up skin, gives a fresh, cool feeling (menthol)

Cons:

contains oil, dries out skin, bleaches things

Before I used C&C products, my acne was pretty bad. Then I bought their entire acne kit which helped SO much. After that ran out, I bought this. I have used this for over a year now and I use nothing else because nothing has worked as well as this, not even prescription medication. I suppose this just works well with my skin and I can understand that it may not work for everyone. However, I suggest you give it a try. This honestly took my acne from pretty darn bad to almost nothing. Try it out.

Pros:

Fast acting, refreshing feeling, clears even severe acne.

Cons:

Stings, a bit harsh for dry to normal skin, made skin flaky at first.

I had been using this product since the beginning of 2008. Luckily that same year I experienced my first Christmas totally 100 % acne free and 90% scar free. around February I decided to change to Murad. It broke my skin out like never before, I got acne in places that I had never had acne before. It was horrible. Then I switched back and now all my acne is gone, but I still have a few scars. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT if you have moderate to severe acne!

Pros:

It cleans up whiteheads, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and tight (menthol). Only use when my skin has reached a point of no return.

Cons:

Mineral Oil - makes me breakout rather significantly if I use a few days in a row.

Ok product if you need a quick fix - too strong (10% BP) and mineral oil make it not fit for regimen use. Use with caution as it works for a few days, but then breakout from all your suffocating clogged pores.

Pros:

Smells nice.

Cons:

I've used this for a while, and I didn't notice any change at all. I feel it working, but there is no difference no matter how long you ise this product.

It didn't work for me, but it has worked for other people because of different skin types. STILL TRY IT, THOUGH!
