Pros:

Very easy and quick regimen.

Can actually feel the difference in my skin texture within the first week.

Once you get through the purging of the skin and the breakouts stop, it keeps your skin very clear.

Cons:

The dispensing mechanism - towards the end of the prodouct, it's difficult to get the last of the foam. Feels like product gets wasted.

Use minimal amounts of the product and one bottle will last longer than a month. I used the body wash in place of the face wash in the shower in the morning, and that helped with product usage even moreso. I used Accutane back in the 1980's when it first came out and while it did the trick, my acne appeared again after the birth of my second child. Have tried all the OTC products and suggestions, it seems this is the only product that has been effective and made a definite difference in my complexion.

Pros:

Easy to use
Relatively quick morning and evening routines

Cons:

Bottles stop dispensing when there seems to be more "foam" left

Just did not work for me

I am a 43 year old male, and I have suffered with acne since age 12. Like most, I have tried almost EVERYTHING out there - including these products - and nothing seems to work. Acne products should clear you up AND keep it under control. I have used these products over 8 weeks now, and I find that it takes awhile to clear up existing acne, and also new acne continues to develop. I had really high hopes for this product. I'm very disappointed. I am currently taking an Acai supplement as I heard it can help with acne. I've only been taking it a few days, but I'll post my results after a month or so.

Pros:

The product is very mild, but very effective.

Cons:

OMG....It is my duty to let everyone know what my experience was. Canceling the order was an ordeal. I canceled the order, but then was told that I was being shipped another and they could not stop this. I was o.k. with that and thought that was it. Then I was charged again, but this time it was for an order I was never charged for. I spent 45 minutes on the phone waiting for the to figure this out. Then I was told that I would not be billed.....HOWEVER...that was not all.

I was assured that I would not be billed anymore and that I did not have to cancel my debit card. On 12/23 I saw 2 pending transactions for $9.95. I had to wait until Monday to call since no one could do anything since they were pending. I then called Monday and was told that since they had not billed me for shipping and handling. Therefore, I now have another billing from this company. When I was assured the last time from a supervisor that nothing else would debit my account??? IN ALL.... if you are willing to spend time on the phone getting different excuses and have no problem with someone debiting your account as they wish then go ahead and order this product. I forgot to mention...the foam towards the end comes out as liquid!!! So you think your getting the whole 30 or 60 days and your NOT! That was disappointing as well....

Pros:

Cleanser feels light on skin, didn't dry my skin out.

Cons:

Broke me out worse.

It worked the first two times I used it. I did the regimen consistently night and day with the instructions they give you. It cleared it up, then it didn't do anything, then I started breaking out with painful pimples all over my face. I immediately stopped using and the acne went away within a matter of days. I made sure not to use too much but that didn't make a difference. I was really hoping this would work, it was a big let down. Since you can get your money back, might as well try it because it doesn't work the same for everyone.

Pros:

it cleared my skin
wasn't too drying
cheaper than some treatments

Cons:

I wish I could just run to the store and pick up some more when I need to.

Yes, this product worked wonders for me. I love it!! I had been suffering from acne for years and this is the only product that worked for me. Not only did it get rid of all the pimples, but it also lightened up old acne marks. If I ever did get an occasional pimple, it would be totally gone in a day or 2. I got compliments on my skin every time I left my house, which I'd never gotten before. I'm sorry that a lot of you have experienced problems with costumer service. I have never had a problem, but.. I would like to say one more thing. It makes me so mad that some people think that just because it didn't work for them that this company is running a scam. Or that the product is absolute crap. You know, not everything works for everybody. For me, this product is simply amazing. My face really was flawless. But, for my best friend (who has the same skin type and the exact same skin problems as I do) it didn't work at all. Everybody is different and everyone's skin will react differently. When it comes to something like acne, I think its kind of a hit or miss deal. You just have to keep searching until you find what works for you. For those of you who think that this product is total crap just because it didn't work for you.. please get off your high horse and realize that the world does not revolve around you and your experiences. I'm sorry it didn't work, and I hope you do find something that will work for you. Proactive didn't work at all for me, but I do know a few people who it did work for. I would never say that that product is total crap and bash it. It does work for some. Bottom line: Yes, I would recommend this product. Try it. It might not work, but you know what? It just might be the miracle product you've been looking for. It was for me!

Pros:

Overall worked good
No drying out of skin
Combo. of BP and Salicylic acid is great for treatment

Cons:

The Cans!
would give a four rating except for cans...

My teenage son used this product. Nothings a miracle,but he did have very good improvement. Only problem is the cans!! The cans delivery system is kind of like whip cream cans. I would say with every can he had that about 1/4 was left because the can was out of pressure. Customer service was good and sent a new can for free, but again did the same. Also, the cleanser runs out first before other products. I would have otherwise recommended this, except for cans, and at the price,you don't want to waste or run out. The combo of BP and Syslycic acid is good for acne. I think we will try Acnefree for Sensitive Skin. Trying to get him to try Zinc but he is not a good pill swallower. Also heard about lavender oil on this sight(reviews) May have him try that....

Pros:

treated acne well
inexpensive
does not dry out skin
easy to use

Cons:

doesnt last full month if you use too much. use it in moderation and will last a while

it worked really well for me. some people who reviewed only used it for a few days. you have to use it for at least 3 weeks to a month to see your acne veanish. my acne got worse before it got better, but my brother who uses accutane had his acne get a lot worse before it got better. if you use it consistently for at least 2 weeks like i have, you will see a difference. my acne is not clear yet, but 50 percent of it is gone. with another 2 weeks, i feel like my acne will be gone

Pros:

Reduced redness
"Clean" feeling

Cons:

Dried skin out to the point of flaking
Did not cure acne
Stung
Severely irritating
Caused me to break out in hives

Now I'm not sure if I had an allergic reaction or not, but from day 1 of starting MaxClarity my acne on my jawline became extremely itchy and irritated, and only made the acne worse. After a while I just gave up completely on the product because of the irritation. I only used it once a day every other day.

Pros:

Light, cleared my skin

Cons:

VERY drying, and the foam stops coming out, like the cans are defective and you are left with full cans you can't use!

It cleared up my skin, not all the way but maybe 80% but it was VERY drying and if i got it onto my neck, my neck would be red and scaly. For some reason all the cans seem to be defective and end up not working halfway in, so you are left with cans of stuff you cant use! and NO i didnt do anything wrong, I know how to squirt foam out of a can! :P Its worth a shot, but be prepared if it doesnt work for you, to cancel. and that usually means harassment from sales people. But its their job ya know.
