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:

That it is a Clean & Clear product

Cons:

BURNS MY SKIN
Actually makes my acne worse
Too harsh
Smells chemically

This is a bad product. This face wash actually left my skin in a worse condition than before I used it. I don't get much acne, but I got a lot of blotchy spots after using the Foaming Facial. The second I switched to the Daily Pore Cleanser, my acne from the Foaming Facial disappeared. The orange is not a naturally color, and it smells chemically leaving my skin very tight.

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:

smells good, easy to work into a lather. same ingredients as purpose (good move johnson & johnson making $$ on 2 of the same products w/ different names!)

Cons:

wish i didn't have to use with an additional medication but the BP gel has been good i suppose.

i have developed cystic acne over the past year (i'm 27 with no real past acne problems)..i was basically becoming depressed not knowing what to do with my face. purpose worked ok for a couple of years but maybe i just got used to it and it stopped working? i recommend to give this stuff a try..so far so good.
