Pros:

It works, it's cheap.

Cons:

It can make your acne worse than it was in the beginning (I used to use this product and it was fine and didn't make it worse, then I used Proativ, which is the BEST but it's expensive and I've bought this in the meantime until I can get proactiv)

I just bought this product again today and I washed it off and it made my face sting and burn and have redness under the acne which has never happened before, although I'm not sure if it's the product or the product combined with a natural face wash I used. The burning stopped but unfortunately there is shadows of redness all over my acne. It's getting worse grrr. I hope this works. I read this thing about the real cause of acne is hormonal imbalance which is caused by the livers inability to flush away all the excess hormones. acne is evil!

Pros:

Does the job its suposed to! Gets rid of Acne.

Cons:

Bp makes ur eyes water first few times, but u get used to it.

Well worth it. Gets rid of breakouts, and drys up pimples. Be careful though if you have sensitive skin, the BP may be a bit strong. But I am commpeltly clear thanks to this stuff! I use it to prevent the acne as well, not just to clear it up. I use it up to 4 times a day, cuz of oily skin, so it can be a bit pricy.

Pros:

Worked for me a few years ago and went back to it recently because nothing else works as well for my skin. Very affordable.

Cons:

Hurts if you get it in your eyes or even just near them so be careful!

I only use it around the areas where I break out then wipe it off with a cloth before rinsing with water. I find that this is the best way to avoid getting any in my eyes and also since I have dry skin, I am only treating the areas where I get acne and not the entire face. Also, I don't know if this is only in Canada, but the BP content is 5% (as opposed to 10%). 10% seems a bit much.. This product worked for me as a teen and now I'm in my 20s and I have returned to it and am quite happy with it.

Pros:

works very fast and works very well at getting rid of breakouts fast and preventing new ones.ive been using it for 3 weeks now and i havent had a new breakout out since and i usually always have a breakout on my face..so that says a lot

Cons:

very strong,drys out skin and somewhat causes flakyness but a good moisturizer can fix that

GET IT AND USE IT!

Pros:

Clears acne and keeps it from forming and returning.

Cons:

Makes skin dry and peels easy if used for to long Ex:{Washing face from more then 20-30 seconds}. The scent is a little over powering. Benzoyl Peroxide may be a little to high for people with sensitive skin.

Ok, I have used this product for about a week or two and I have noticed a more glow and break-outs were less common. Also, drys new break-outs fast and prevents them. Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser has a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Medication. Other products to use with cleanser are: Clean & Clear Dual-Action Moisturizer, to moisturize dry skin and calm it. Also has a 0.5% Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment to treat exsiting acne and prevent it. Thats why its called Dual-Action. Does two jobs at once. Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, this cream has a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide treatment to prevent,protect and heal. Drys pimples fast. Buy and use all three for maximum results!

Pros:

feels like it's working, contains benzoyl peroxide, inexpensive

Cons:

the menthol is there to make you feel like it's really cleaning, but it's just a gimmick. bleaches everything. Ive ruined several shirts when it's dripped down my wrists. using in the shower when my pores are opened by the heat causes a rash for me

my husband is a pharmacist and he says that benzoyl peroxide is only useful if it stays on your skin. having it in your cleanser doesnt do anything in particlar. better to use the non medicated cleanser and the bp gel after (as per the REGIMEN). only use it if you're naked, otherwise it will make bleach spots on all your clothes. USE A WHITE TOWEL to dry your face afterwards. it will bleach and mottle your nice coloured towels.

Pros:

affordable, and smells okay. usually works well the first couple of days you get it.

Cons:

your skin will most likely get immune to the benzoyl peroxide in this medicine, and it wont react as fast to the use of the product. the more you use it, the less it'll work.

basically, the directions on the back, are not useful, you should use it the way you see works best for you. and it doesnt always work, its not very consistent. it helps get rid of the marks, eventually.

Pros:

Clears most acne
Cheap
It's easy to find

Cons:

Does not get rid of all acne

I started this product about a week ago. The results aren't amazing. However, it did get rid of most of my pimples. I still get the occasional break out but, the severity of my break outs are a lot better. It didn't really do much for my acne marks. It has a nice cooling feeling after you use it. Sometimes when a pimple is really bad I'll put a bit on it before a go to bed and in the morning it is significantly better. I've heard that it could dry your skin out but my skin feels fine after I wash. In the end I would recommend this product but do not expect all of your acne to be gone. You'll still get some break outs.

Pros:

Clears acne, makes skin feel fresh and smooth, nice tingle

Cons:

Skin feels dry

I've been using this product for years because it actually gets rid of my acne. Before using it I had horrible skin, and now my skin is significantly clearer. The only problem is if you wash your face twice a day as stated in the directions, it will end up drying your face out to the point where it eventually becomes flaky, which is obviously a bad thing. To avoid this I just use the product once a day and as a result don't have any of the dry skin problems while still having no acne. Just use it once a day and you'll be fine. This is one of the better products out there.
