Pros:

-gets rid of pimples/acne almost overnight!
-removes redness and decreases size of pimples
-doesn't overdry your skin
-smells amazing!
-lasts a long time

Cons:

-if you put it on skin without a pimple it dries it out slightly, but not too bad

I LOVE it! I use it daily after I take my makeup off (after school) as a spot treatment. I am 15 years old, if you want to know. I have had light-moderately severe acne for the past few months (a few weeks ago it was awful!) and very recently it has been slightly receeding. Well, I started using this as a spot treatment only 3 days ago and already my acne is almost gone! I have a few spots on my forehead and one on my cheek, but compared to before, that's nothing! I am in love with this product! It doesnt dry out skin and it works amazingly! I highly suggest using this!

Pros:

-moisturizes!!!
-makes my skin oh so smooth
-helps maintain acne-free face
-fresh, tingly feeling

Cons:

-it makes me always want to touch my face because it's so soft...which is very, very bad. OH WELL!

This is by far the best moisturizer I've used for my skin. I have dry skin and get breakouts pretty much everywhere on my face. I've tried everything and this is the only one I've used that wasn't too heavy or greasy and left just the right amount of moisture. I love it. It isn't a quick fix but if you use it consistently you'll see a difference. I also recommend you use it in combination with other acne medicine because, like I said, it isn't a quick fix.

Pros:

Very moisturizing
0.5% salicylic acid, which is really not too much if you're already on the BP and you're a regimen veteran.

Cons:

If you're getting used to the regimen, I don't suggest starting off with this moisturizer. Find a moisturizer that doesn't have an active ingredient unless it's SPF. Benzoyl peroxide AND salicylic acid probably will be overkill if you've got sensitive skin or if you're getting used to the regimen.

I do not use the Clean and Clear brand. I use the CVS brand because Clean and Clear tests on animals. But the CVS brand is pretty good, I think. It smells really good and it doesn't leave me greasy. At first, it'll seem like it is. But if you give it 5 or 10 minutes, it'll dry to a nice, sort of matte finish. Actually, this stuff on its own can clear your acne up if you've got a very light to...maybe moderate amount of acne. You're still gonna want to use SPF with salicylic acid because it's an exfoliant. Pretty good if you want a basic bare bones moisturizer with a little kick of acne fighting power.

Pros:

-Tingly feeling
-softened my skin
-oil-free
-salycilic acid

Cons:

hasnt really helped my acne
- smells kinda like raid bug spray
-doesn't help blackheads
-flaked a little.

I use this everyday morning and night with Cvs (thought it was clean&clear when i got it) benzoyle peroxide cleanser, and proactive toner and it has moisturized my face well but hasn't gotten rid of my blemishes like most Salycilic acid products are supposed too. i have been using it for about 2 weeks now and haven't seen anything really eye-popping about it yet. I also use Clean & Clear persa gel 2nights a week and Proactiv Sulfur mask 3 nights a week as well. and overall it's more or less ok. I think i'm going to try the aveeno mosturizer though i heard it's better. if u have light acne, this is probably a product for you

Pros:

-Affordable
-Absorbed into skin well
-Didn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling
-No smell

It's actually slowly helping with some systic acne I've had lingering for a while, and may or may not be helping to clear up some blackheads on my nose and chin. It LOOKS like there's less, but that may just be in my head.

Cons:

I normally put it on at night, but put it on during the day today under my powder foundation today, and within a few hours my face (nose especially) was very very shiny.

I honestly think it's better as a night moisturizer than a day one. Might be ok to use in the day during the winter though. Rated a 3, because I like what I've gotten out of it so far, but haven't used it long enough to rate anything higher.

The first time I used it I couldn't stop touching my face for how soft it was. Its amazing ! Gives your face a clean feeling. Obviously see the difference in the texture of your skin ANS the appearance.

Pros:

lightweight/doesnt feel heavy, makes my face smooth, slightly moisturizes

Cons:

Makes my skin read, burns, tingles, smells weird, small bottle, expensive, makes me break out in pimples more often, doesn't blend into face well

i have very dry sensitive skin, so i think this product is more for someone with oily or combination skin that isn't sensitive. it's hard for me to find products that work, but i would recommend this to someone with flaky skin
