Pros:

Works amazingly. Better than any previously used prescription wash. I no longer have to use any topicals to keep my skin clear.

Cons:

Bleaches clothes. Very strong for people with sensitive skin.

I would recommend washing for 30 seconds or less with a small amount twice a day.

Pros:

Clears and prevents most of my acne.The little I do get isn't very noticable and goes away quickly.

Cons:

Still have trouble with oilier spots such as my nose and forehead.

Pretty good, I have to take medication for it too, but much better than anything else I've tried.

Pros:

Really clears skin! Tingly clean feeling. Does prevent acne!

Cons:

Kind of drying because it does have 10% benzoyl peroxide, so use a moisturizer or lotion after washing.

I really love this product! I tried everything. Proactiv, Nuetrogena products, Acne soaps... This is the only thing that has worked for me on a consistent basis. And I know if you used proactiv like me and it dried the heck out of your skin because of the massive amount of benzoyl peroxide, don't be afraid of this product because it has 10% (proactiv has 2.5%) But, you have to remember, with proactiv you are actually leaving the benzoyl peroxide on your face, and it soaks in. With this clean and clear you wash it off, so even though it sounds like a high percentage it doesn't dry my face out hardly at all compared to proactiv.

Pros:

Gets Rid of PIMPLES. And It works. Love it. 10% BP All the way!

Cons:

none

Look, its main job is to get rid of pimples and it does just that. I use it once a day along with a SA cleanser, which I use 2x a day. It clears me up and gets rid of the small pimples very fast. This 10% BP job is to kill pimples and it does just that, what more can you ask for? You will red afterwords, so use a MOISTURIZER.

Pros:

Works fast.

Cons:

When you first put it on there might be a few reddish spots on your face, but they go away within 20 minutes.

I just used it once, and there's already a noticeable reduction in blemishes. I mean, it's not completely gone, but at least I know it's working. At the rate this is going my face should be clear in no time.

Pros:

Works great!
Leaves face feeling refreshed.
Leaves me feeling dry but not too much and my skin feels great!
Leaves face feeling very clean.

Cons:

Doesn't lather too well but that's no problem.
Sometimes my face looks burned but it never feels that way.

No disrespect to Dan or his regimen, but my regimen I created worked better for me. In the evening I use just a regular oil-free and alcohol-free cleanser. Then I apply the Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. I leave it on my face for 60 seconds, then rinse. For my 3rd step I use the Clean & Clear Advantage Fast Clearing Spot Treatment with 2% salicylic acid. Within one day I noticed clearing. Keep in mind in the morning I do not use the regular face wash, just the 2 Clean & Clear products. In the fall/winter months I get moderate acne, but in the spring/summer, I get severe acne. I started using this regimen for a month now and I am hoping it continues to work like this in the summer.

Pros:

It clears up acne fast, faster than the other products I've used. This is the only one that actually works for me. It doesn't dry out the skin, and it smells pretty good for a medicated cleasner.

Cons:

It kinda takes a while for the stuff to clear up your acne.It could bleach your clothes or towels, so you gotta be careful. But this hasen't happened to me yet, so... And it seems to kinda clog up your pores.

It IS a very good cleanser/acne wash. It clears your acne fairly fast and its consistently working. It smells nice and is easy to wash off. I've tried Neutrogena, but theirs gave me even more acne, so my mom picked this out for me. It's great. But it does clog up your pores. I advise exfoiliating before washing. All in all, its the best acne cleanser I've used.

Pros:

Really works! I use it in combination with Clean & Clear Daily Pore Toner and Clean & Clear Advantage Moisturizer and I get the same results as ProActiv for a cheaper price. Doesn't dry my skin at all like the salicylic acid products I've tried.

Cons:

Bleaches towels, can burn eyes if you're not careful.

It works for me but apparently not for some people - what works truly is an individual thing I guess. For $5 it's worth a try though.

Pros:

-rather effective
-nice minty after-feel

Cons:

-stron medication, careful if your skin is very prone to drying

Ok, let's face it, you're stupid if you use Benzoyl Peroxide anywhere near your eyes. The same goes to pretty much any other acne product out there, excluding the herbal solutions. This is a good product for people who want fast results and who know how to moisturize their skin. If your skin is sensitive, go with a lower concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide.
