Nope
I have Dry sensitive skin and I used this product for two months..starting off good then down hill. I thought my skin was just generally getting worse but it was the product that did it. Although it made my skin feel very clean and refreshing and never dried me out, this was not the product for me at all.

Started out nice, ended up giving me zits
I have combination skin. Initially, this stuff felt GREAT on my skin (you know, that cool, tingly feeling), smelled fresh, and worked well. After a few months it just stopped. I don't think I had done any major changes in on skin care routine (this was a ways back though). What a shame.

Ehhh
This stuff isn't that great, I mean the tingly feeling is cool and refreshing, but it doesn't seem to help my acne at all.

Pros:

-Made skin feel somewhat clean
-Smells really nice
-Pretty bottle
-oil free
-pretty cheap compared to other washes

Cons:

-did not clear pimples or blackheads
-i did not feel any cool/tingly feeling..
-left a slight film on my skin
-it feels really weird when it comes out of the -bottle...like, it's almost solid.
-doesn't tell you how much salicylic acid is in it on the bottle. (probably 2%, but you never know.)

I was really excited when i bought this at my local CVS because there were some posters on the outside and clean and clear advertised it alot, and i heard some people were really glad they bought it! (I first bought the little travel size, then I bought the big bottle). After i finished the trial size bottle, I didn't really notice a difference. My skin was regular, still had some acne, but no major breakouts. It seemed that it was working, and it was for the first few weeks. (little bottle lasted about 2 and a half weeks.) Then I returned to CVS to buy the big bottle since I decided to stick to it. This usually lasts 3 months, but after a month and a half, i put it away in my bathroom drawer and haven't used it since. My skin turned SOOO oily and my breakouts were a bit worse. I always looked forward to the tingly cool feeling the boottle says it has, but I never felt it! :( I'm a real clean and clear girl so after i went to the continuous control wash and I'm so happy i found it. Even though i'm loyal to clean and clear, I'm really, really disappointed in this wash. I probably won't buy it again. :P

Pros:

Feels cool (menthol)
Tingly

Cons:

Hard to rinse off unless in the shower.
Doesn't really work well, but make you think it is because of the cold feeling it leaves.
Takes forever to really wash because you have to rub for so long and you have to rub hard.
Leaves face red.

Ivused this for a long time because as I said in the cons, you THINK it's working... It isn't! The menthol in it makes your face feel cold and tingly so you feel like it is clean, but really it hasn't done much if anything. It is a cream so is hard to work into the skin. I don't know how I let myself get tricked into thinking this stuff worked for so long. You may get some initial improvement but that will probably just be because it is something new. Lame product overall. Probably great for people without acne though.

Pros:

can be used as an in-shower mask
creamy
lathery

Cons:

stops working after use of two tubes
sticks badly to hair (even after rinsing)

On my skin, it worked at first, but then it just stopped working for my skin. I say to try it out.

Pros:

Refreshing
Tingly
Feels like it's deep cleaning

Cons:

Irritated my skin

This cleanser felt really cool, but didn't do much for my acne. I think the skin around my acne became softer and smoother, but that's not what I wanted to use the cleanser before. I have learned to avoid products with salicylic acid because it can irritate your skin and make the acne worse. I think it would be good for someone with light acne who doesn't have super sensitive skin.

it felt nice but it didn't really do anything for my acne and didn't unclog my pores like it said it would overall, there's better products out that. i wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:

+Oil was reduced
+Face had "tingly" clean feeling

Cons:

+If you have sensitive skin will irritate your face
+Strong fragrance (before, during, and after)

Over all it's your typical cream cleanser, if you're into that type of thing. I didn't like this product because my skin breaks out with the use of products with too much fragrance and this is one of them. My face maintained it's present state of acne with a red irritation to go with it. I don't recommend this product as a way to get rid of acne (especially without a moisturizer)

Pros:

I loved the feel of it on my skin. It really felt like it was working.

Cons:

It did nothing but make me break out with little pimples everywhere. I've never had this kind of reaction to anything used to clean my face and I'm 30 years old!

I will never buy it again or recommend it to others.
