Pros:

Highly effective and inexpensive. Easy-to-use and smells fantastic.

Cons:

Slight peeling when used with BP gel.

Thanksgiving morning, I was greeted with a major cystic acne breakout, which lasted well past the New Year. After more than six weeks of suffering with painful skin and embarrassment throughout the holidays, I decided to try the Clean and Clear oil-free foaming facial cleanser for sensitive skin, along with the Clean and Clear Benzoyl Peroxide gel treatment. The Clean and Clear products cleared the cysts and left me scar-free. I did experience some peeling from the Benzoyl Peroxide gel, but that was a small price to pay (both figuratively and literally) for clear skin. My only regret is that I didn't try it sooner.

Simple but works
It's a pretty basic cleanser compared to a lot of stuff out there with outrageous claims. It does the job. It removes dirt and make up better than that Ponds "Deep Cleanse" Facial wash I tried. It does sting a bit around my nose since that area is pretty sensitive for me. But it really helped my skin since it removes all the nastiness. My face actually cleared up a bit after I started using it. But if you have really dry or sensitive skin, maybe don't use this because it stings a little.

Pretty good cleanser

Pros:

Works pretty good
Smells good
Feels great

Cons:

Makes face red

Before getting this product, I'd say I had moderate acne, but after using this for a month, it's cleared up quite a bit. It's no miracle cleanser, but it DOES work. It's not terribly drying, but I would still recommend using a moisturizer after this. The only thing I really didn't like about it was that it makes my face look kinda red after using.

Pros:

- Foams easily
- Cheap and easy to obtain

Cons:

- Not a fan of the smell which lingered long after my face was rinsed. It smelled medical.
- Found it overdrying

Okay in a pinch, but I think there are more useful products out there. I used it for a few weeks with disappointing results. My face was more red than usual, but at least there was no new acne.

Pros:

Its easy to work with. Has only 1 quick step. Has a pump wich is nice!

Cons:

Nothing really execpt that you have to mix it with water.

It works well i have very light acne. I wouldnt even call it acne i just have a couple pimples on my chin, nose, between my brows and sometimes on my cheeks. I havent used this product enough to say that much about it but i like it so far! It smells refreshing and leaves my skin refreshed. It also takes my makeup of pretty well!

Doesn’t make my face itch or burn

This is the only cleanser so far that doesn’t make my skin itch or burn. There must be a common ingredient in many of the “sensitive skin” cleansers that I am allergic to. The only thing is that it’s a little drying. But not as bad a some cleansers. I have to make sure that I moisturize immediately with acne.org regular lotion or the aha lotion. Hopefully one day I can find a cleanser that doesn’t make my skin itch but is less drying. I haven’t tried the acne.org cleanser yet but thinking of giving it a try soon.

Cleared up in just one week!
I've never had acne growing up, but all of a sudden at 20 I've been breaking out like crazy. I debated on which acne medication to get for a couple days, and finally ended up getting clean and clear (it was cheap, came with a 3 step cleaner for only $12) and let me tell you, in just one week I'm left with only one small pimple on my forehead!! Clean and clear is WONDERFUL. Only con would be step 2, did sting, and others said it did too, so I went back and bought step 2 in the sensitive skin one (they sell each step by itself as well) and no problems at all with a stinging sensation!
