Pros:

Removes makeup well
Not medicated

Cons:

Harsh and drying

I used this twice a day, every day, for probably two years. For some reason I decided to pick up some Cetaphil and once I used it, I realized how harsh this Clean & Clear cleanser is. My skin felt so much tighter (not in a good way) and was very visibly drier using this stuff.. and I was using the "sensitive skin" kind. If your skin is really, really not sensitive to anything, I suppose this might work for you, but otherwise please try gentler cleansers first, because while it's probably better than most drugstore cleansers out there, it isn't doing you any favours.

Pros:

very affordable

Cons:

CONTAINS MINERAL OIL

clean and clear products contain mineral oil which in effect leave your pores clogged it also contains menthol which gives the feeling "clean" skin although in fact it is doing the opposite while it may work at first because of its high concentration of skin drying ingredients, clean and clear will make you break out eventually because it contains mineral oil which can reak havocs on your skin

Pros:

Cleans well
Okay smell

Cons:

Very drying
Burns

I've used just plain Dove soap all my life but switched to this to see if it made a difference. It is very drying and really burns for about 20 minutes after you use it. Not worth it's benefits if there are any. I'll just stick with my Dove Beauty Bar.
