Pros:

Feels like its doing something, clean feeling after (tingles), kind of helped my acne... My acne doesn't completely stop but it helps get rid of it quicker than other products (I just continue to break out -.-)

Cons:

Really dries out the skin! Do not get this in your eyes, nose, mouth... it stings. The smell takes some getting used to, I'm not a fan.

I guess I would recommend this. Everyone is different, so its worth a shot. Its worked better than anything else so far for me. I've ALWAYS had acne and now I'm 22 years old. Like I said, this kind of helps. A lot of times if I feel a pimple coming on, I'll wash my face with it then put a little dab on the spot. Then I'll sleep with it on, and the spot is significantly smaller and less painful in the morning. It is worth trying.

Pros:

-Worked for the first 3 weeks or so

Cons:

-Occasionaly caused burning and itching
- Stopped working after a few weeks or so

I WOULD reccommend this product for very mild acne. But for me, It stopped working after a while, and my acne went back to normal, it didn't make it worse, but the breakouts just kept coming back like they used to. So i was very happy with it the first couple of weeks, now I'm dissapointed. BUT everyone's different, it seems to work for some other people.

Pros:

cleared up my acne almost completely

Cons:

made my skin oily due to overdrying

i used this product for a very long time but just recently i've decided to discontinue use. i would wash my face twice a day for about 30seconds. my acne went away almost completely. the problem was that it made my skin very very oily and shiny in my t-zone and made the rest of my skin very dry and flacky. the skin around my eyes would start to peel and look nasty, this was the deal breaker for me considering my eyes are my favorite feature. i switched over to purpose facial cleanser but im afraid its too light to work on my acne, I'm going to try an oxy face wash now. If you buy this product i would recommend start using it slowly considering its a high percentage of benzoyl peroxide.

Pros:

Got about 10 zits on my mustache and the other 10 around my face. There was 4 cyst on my face. With this, about 3 weeks it almost completely cleared out everything.

Cons:

For greasy pizza/fried chicken face people. Will harm sensitive girl faces. I have that fried chicken face so it cleared it up. Too bad I decided to try Clearasil, oxy, neutrogena products. Acne got bad, going back to get clean and clear.

I have that ugly greasy face that people say eww and walk away. With this product it help desire my oily skin. Also, i use the astrigent that is the orange bottle not the blue for that extra oily skin. My skin started to dry a little too much so i use a moisterizer with 2% salysic acid. It all goes fine but the problem is that the scars dont go away. what i found out that the only way to rid of the scars is a #3(usually the lotion) that has benzoyl peroxide at least of 2.5%. The problem is that most of shirts around the front neck area will get bleached because i sweat all day. but i rather have that then a greasy, oily, beyond acne face.

Pros:

I had this terrible break out at the top of my face that make up couldnt cover up. I have been using this product for only like a week or two and it is almost completely gone! I noticed in like a day or two that it was clearing up.

Cons:

My face got a little dry/itchy

Buy it and try it. If you have acne that wants to be cleared up, it will. If you just want an everyday face wash that will prevent you from getting acne, this product will help do that also.

Good
I just bought it and followed the directions on the back and everything. I thought you had to use it twice a day, but it said to just start using it once or it could dry out and break out. And it has reduced my jawline acne which is a huge problem for me, I am officially in love. Clean && Clear is bae.

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

Best I've found so far

Pros:

Not drying
Prevents acne
Clears acne

Cons:

Fragrance

I've tried a whole litany of acne treatments like most people on here and while this cleanser isn't the perfect miracle I've been realizing it's wrong to search for, it's pretty amazing. Certainly the best thing I've found. I wash with the C&C blackhead clearing scrub in the morning, then again in the night followed by this cleanser because salicylic acid alone doesn't do much for my acne and it's the only constant thing I've found to mostly keep away my acne. It's 10% BP but I have dry skin and it does not dry it out one bit. I only have one thing against it which is that like many C&C products, it's fragranced, but that hasn't seen to have broken me out.
