A good cleanser :)

Pros:

Clears up all the dirt and oil
Smells good
Affordable

Cons:

Did not do anything for my acne
Stings on the first use
Can be a bit drying

I've been using this for 2 and a half weeks now and it really does its job as a cleanser. I do not wear any make up but it clears all the dirt and oil from my face at the end of the day. Although it is a good cleanser, it didn't do anything for my pimples. I have very, very light acne. Overall a great product for cleansing only

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:

great clean feeling
perfect daily cleanser
gets rid of oil
helps treat acne in moderation
Cheap!

Cons:

BURNS SO BAD
turns skin red for a short while

I used this as a daily cleanser for a while in place of a more powerful acne wash that was harsh on my skin. this stuff made my skin feel so clean and helped treat blackheads. The effects on more severe breakouts was not as good but it still helped. If your skin isn't too sensitive I highly recommend it. If your skin is sensitive approach with caution because it does burn pretty bad.

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

did nothing except create three major zits on my right cheek. and that was the only place that was clear! and for the people that said to use the astringent. whatever you do NEVER use it!!!!! i used the cleanser witht the astringent and its for sensitive skin and the astringent made my face red and irritated and caused a major acne breakout. IT CONTAINS ALCOHOL.

Pros:

cleared my skin a little

Cons:

Dried skin out
Smells awful
Didn't clear my skin completely
Made face shiny, but not oily

This cleanser cleared my skin up a little bit but it was never enough for me, I have combination skin and this product just dried me out. I feel like this is more a face wash for people in their twenties who no longer have acne and just need something to keep their face clean. I won't be repurchasing.
