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:

Clears my skin considerably.

Cons:

Still get some cysts.

It took me many years to realize that benzoyl peroxide does not work for my skin. I use salicylic acid instead and this is the best product of this type that I've found. On it's own, it gets me much clearer than any other wash I've tried. In combination with the Clarisonic, my skin is almost completely clear and is continuously improving.

Pros:

Has nearly eliminated my acne, I have been using it for 1 week along with BP and a moisturizer (i am on the regimen)

Cons:

Very drying if you use too much too often

Works well. I made the mistake of using way too much initially, it was drying my face out considerably. Now I just use a little bit and it still works very well.

Pros:

Washes dirt and makeup

Cons:

Kind of pasty and not as good as their other products

I prefer clean and clears foam wash its not as pasty and doesn't make skin tight.. this is just my opinion... I really reccomend trying it though because clean and clear products are the best face washes and moisterizers.... they do what they say they are gonna do... and help prevent acne. I reccomend washing gently with this and rinsing with water then dabbing with towel not wipping... less irritation is key. I simply don't like the pasty cold cream feel of it... any girl who has used cold cream knows what I a talking about. Goodluck.

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.

Pros:

Best cleanser for acne prone skin. really elps in preventing acne and minimizing the oil.
Inexpensive, available in drug store.

Cons:

none

I have had acne since my teen age years till now (25). This seriously helps. PS - use it with cc dual action moisturizer (oil free). Its very important to moisturize skin even if u think that your skin is extremely oily and applying moisturizer will make acne worse. I used to think that, all i had was oil+flaky combination skin with acne. So please put moisturizer. No facewash/moisturiser. treatment will stop acne unless you cleanse your body from inside. Best Solution - have 4 glasses (1-1.5 litre atleast) of warm water as soon as you get up in the morning. Dont wait to brush your teeth or anything. Have water first thing. Dont have anything for 45 minutes after drinking the water. (not even tea, coffee). Do this for three months and you will be fine. Initially, you might not be able to drink that much water (i.e. feel like throwing up). So start by little and increase every day. It will reduce your weight too. Cheers

Pros:

-Cleans my face by getting rid of the oil and dirt.
-Dries out my skin in a good way!
-Makes my very light acne not show so much since I mostly have scars...
-I love it because it makes my face look good so no one has to look somewhere else such as my super embarrasing and super hairy legs!
-Listening to Kiss You Inside Out by Canadian boy band Hedley!

Cons:

-When you start using it for a while when you are supposed to , just don't stop, or else the acne comes back! :>(

This is a great product to use because it cleans your face and leaves it feeling fresh. It does't hurt your skin, but just read the label before you start using this product because it might affect you in a good or a bad way! Have Fun and Good Luck!

Pros:

- leaves tingly feeling.
- cleans face really well.
- it helped my whiteheads clear up.
- I actually like the smell.
- the texture is pretty cool.
- cheap

Cons:

- a little drying.

I like this product, it made my skin feel a little dry, but when my skin got used to it, it felt awesome! The texture is kinda like... Whipped cream? And it smells alright. Ive had mild acne for 2 years now, and I've spent money on proactiv (which worked for a period of time), clearasil, and biore... Clean&Clear had worked the best out of those for me. It leaves my skin feel clean and tingly and it is just amazing! Love love LOOVE this product! I have light acne now and it's clearing up really well!
