Pros:

Inexpensive
Fast, Free Shipping
Easy to cancel
Easy to use

Cons:

Dried Skin Out
Made Acne Worse
Product does not last entire month

I ordered this product with high hopes. I had previously tried Proactiv and it didn't really do much for me. It didn't make my acne better or worse, so I cancelled. I decided to try MaxClarity. It shipped very fast with standard shipping. Unfortunately it make my face break out badly. It also left extremely dry spots on my face. That was the worst of all. I used it for about 15 days before the foam wash ran out. It was supposed to last me 30 days. canceling was very easy and did not have to send items back. The customer care rep just credited $10 to my account so I wouldn't have to pay shipping fee to send items back to get my refund.

Pros:

Awesome price, free body wash, works fast, shrinks pores.

Cons:

Shipping takes a long time, can leave skin itchy and dry.

Shipping took FOREVER (1 month), and i even tried to cancel but they wouldnt let me. I'm so glad they didnt let me because I LOVE this product!!!! I've been using MaxClarity religiously for 14 days, and my skin is completely clear. I have a bad habit of picking on my acne, which left scars on my face, so although all of my acne has dried up, I still have some scarring left. My order came with a FREE Body Wash so this is how i use the system: I take a shower in the morning, so while I'm in the shower i wash my FACE with the MaxClarity Foaming Body Wash, then i get out and apply the acne treatment foam. The acne foam tends to dry out my face so i use a moisturizer over it (Loreal Skin Genesis). In the evening, before bed, I wash my face with Loreal Skin Genesis Cleanser (to remove my makeup), then i wash with the foam cleanser, leaving it on for 1-2 minutes. Rinse, Pat Dry. If I have pimples i want to get rid of i SPOT treat them with the acne foam treatment, then i put the foam TONER all over my face. The TONER doesn't dry my skin out. In just 2 weeks, my skin is smooth, soft, less oily, and my pores are smaller. I even got my sister to order it. The secret is to use the product morning and night (even in the afternoon if you get a chance). I agree that the benzoyl peroxide is VERY drying, but that's what gets rid of your acne. Just use a good moisturizer and you will be fine. I'm hoping that if i continue using this product my scars will fade. That's really my only problem now :-D

Pros:

--It slows down the process of acne, but doesn't get rid of them completely.

Cons:

--Causes dryness and skin to flake
--Must shake bottle before every use
--MaxClarity sends you another package even when you didn't order it (must end subscription)
--The 2nd product they send you cost 39.90
--when one pimple dissapeared, another one reappeared

It's not worth your money. I order the 19.95 deal only hoping to only TRY the product and see if I wanted to keep buying or not and they don't tell you that BEFOREHAND that they will send and charge you the 2nd product for the full price of 39.90. I was a bit annoyed because all I wanted was to try it, and it's such a hassle and time waster to ship both products back. I'm never ordering from them again. The product isn't even that helpful long term and cause skin to dry. If you were like me and just want to try it, order it, and call to end the subscription right away otherwise you'll have to pay shipping for two boxes to send them back.

Pros:

Only product i've used that actually worked! (I'm acne free except for the occasional pimple/scars)
I noticed a difference the 2nd day!Been using it month and a half
Foam is nice and light

Cons:

The foam you put on at night BURNS
it dried out my skin very badly the 1st few weeks,but the drying means it's drying the pimples but still.I have to use a mosturizer
The wash it comes with didn't last me a month so I had to use the bodywash/scrub it came with
The bottle broke when it was still half full

I've tried everything from home remedy's,drugstore items,to Proactiv, I've had bad acne for 5 years and this is the ONE thing that's actually worked! it was relatively cheap as well.I'm so glad I bought it!! Everyone's skin is different. Work past the burning feeling when you put it on,that means it's working, and it worked so fast for me!

Pros:

It works! it is the only thing that HAS EVER worked for me. I have used for about 9 months now. It does not even dry my skin. Although I do use a moisturizer. I am eternally grateful for this product. I have had acne tor 20+ years, until 9 months ago.

Cons:

Can does not last 3 months.
It does dispense too quickly. Need to be careful or you will waste quite a bit.
Cans are prone to dispense poorly or break.
Can does not deliver last of product.
As you can see my only complaints are with the can, not the product. Although the cleanser does run out first. It should come in a larger size than the other two.

Give it a try.

Pros:

It's actually working!

Cons:

Difficult to dispense correct amount from bottles.

I have tried so many things for my acne. I am 28 years old and my acne has been worse in the past year than ever before. I have tried all kinds of drugstore products of course, and recently tried Proactiv. The Proactive I used for 3 weeks and made no difference at all, except that it was very dryingl. I figured I had nothing to loose so I would try Max Clarity. I am really happy with it. Within the first 3 days I noticed that my problem areas (where I basically am always breaking out) were not developing any new pimples! My skin felt nice and smooth too. I started using Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer at this same time also, and this is enough to keep my skin moist if I use it after each treatment. You have to press the button very lightly to dispense the correct amount of each product (grape sized), and that takes some getting used to. Now I'm 3 weeks into using it, and my skin is so much better! I am very impressed!! I have had 2 or 3 new pimples since I started using it, but they have been significantly smaller, and not as red or sore; and they go away quicker too. The red marks from old breakouts are fading. I am so glad that I decided to try Max Clarity, and I hope that this review encourages others to give it a try as well. You may have the same kind of surprisingly great results!!

Pros:

Works fast
Its inexpensive and easy to use

Cons:

Dried my face like crazy. They should use come up with a maxclarity mostuirzer.

I have been using the product for about 1 1/2 week and it has really helped my skin. I try to put on mosturizer a least 3 times a day to help.

Pros:

=Easy to use, I like the foam idea

Cons:

-Did not work for me
-As with all others I've ordered off TV, the people find a way to screw you out of your money.

I liked the foam, & would love to find a foam that actually works for me! This one did not. & the maxclarity ppl, even after I called to cancel it, charged my card for an extra shipment. Be very careful with them, & make sure you discuss these things with them.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Clear Directions
Money back guarantee

Cons:

Dried my face like crazy
Didnt help with the pimples
Got new pimples in different places than my problem areas

I tried max clarity thinking that it would help because my face really wasnt thatttt bad, but now it is worse. When i called customer service to cancel my next order, they told me that it takes 4-6 weeks for maximum results, and well, it has been 4 and my face is worse than when i started using it. I got better results from AcneFree which you can buy at Meijer. Good thing it was cheap, if it wasnt, i would be reallllyy mad.

Pros:

-process was quick & easy to use
(process goes faster if you use the deep cleanser and body wash while in the shower so you don't have to re-wet your face in the morning)
-skin felt smooth
-lightened redness
-is clearing up acne
-the only product that has worked this well for me.
-doesn't smell bad

Cons:

-i'm not thrilled about using a product that has to be ordered online and billed automatically
-dries out skin if moisturizer isn't used
-foam comes out FAST
-i received a minor chemical burn from using way too much of this product, but that was my fault. i got excited that it was working so well and overused the product thinking that my face could handle it
-contains alcohol which dries skin (i would prefer to use a product without alcohol)
-blackheads still apparent

this product really works for me. my acne isn't completely cleared up, but is getting there. it is important to be patient with any acne product since it can take up to four months to become completely clear. although i like this product, i am going to discontinue using it and follow 'The Regimen' instead because i'd rather use drug store products and not have to worry about automatic billing. i plan to use the recommended drug store products on this site and then possibly moving on to dan's products if i see results. i'm also adding zinc and omega-3 supplements based on the great reviews i read and affordable price. i'll probably use the biore strips to clear the blackheads on my nose. if this new regimen doesn't work, i'll go back to max clarity. i have already recommended max clarity and will continue to do so.
