Prescribed by Dermo

I was prescribed this by my dermatologist every morning to try and clear my mild but very stubborn acne. He suggested using this every morning because I use Tretinoin cream every night and the benzoyl peroxide make the cream less effective when used together. I have seen absolutely no difference in my skin other than the fact that I am as red as a lobster after using this and my skin is extremely dry. I would not suggest

Don't bother...(negative star)
The positive reviews you see below are all for the old formulation. The old formula was magical. But they changed it. The BP cleansers available on the market now are all EXACTLY the same formula, regardless of brand. If you've tried one, then you've tried them all. The new formula will break you out...they added several comedogenic ingredients and it (naturally) stopped working for everyone.

Can you advise some of the ingredients on the old formulation which are not on the new one as I believe the last ones with the old formulation may still be in distribution and I would like to try get some before they are gone forever.

not the worst, but not good
A step up from bar soap, but I'm not a fan of BPO. This product leaves a film and doesn't make me feel cleaner. BPO is carcinogenic to rats, so even if I appreciate a medicated cleaner, I don't want carcinogenic ingredients penetrating my pores all day

Ok for mild acne

Pros:

Helps some acne

Cons:

Dries out skin
Does not help acne

So one day while washing my face, I realized that I was running low on my face wash. So that afternoon while I was looking down the aisle wanting to try something soon, I see this. Being so eager to get rid of my mild to moderate acne, I purchase it. Absolutely awful! It dried out my skin and didn't help anything. I mean, it really doesn't surprise me, Clean and Clear is an awful skin care company.

Beware

Pros:

deals with acne effectively, but at a high cost

Cons:

irritating
Definitely not for sensitive skin
drying

A terrible, horrible product! My brother bought the one with 5% benzoyl peroxide but it dried his skin out, so he gave it to me. I used a tiny amount, around half a pea sized drop, and spread it only on my forehead and nose (where my acne is severe) and avoided the sensitive area around my eyes, mouth and cheeks. I did this once a day for two days, and used no other product besides moisturizing lotion. After the second day, I noticed that my skin was a bit itchy and my eyelid was a little droopy feeling. However, I dismissed it and boy was that a mistake! I woke up the next morning to barely being able to open my eyelids they were so swollen! My face was hot and burning and itchy, but at the same time slightly numb! I tried washing my face with just water and my skin had the texture of cottage cheese, and I could barely move my face. After trying to endure the feeling of a severly burned and itchy face, I went to the hospital and even the doctor was frightened by what happened to my face. It was a traumatizing experience. however i did notice that all my acne was gone lol.

I used this product twice, after that my skin came up dry , irritated and red, my upper eyelids have swollen up and im completely embarrassed about what this product has done to my face. I AM NEVER USING IT AGAIN, I have suffered from acne for 2 years and thought a new facewash would be a good change, Its the worst product ive ever use. I do not recommend this for anyone.

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.
