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:

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:

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:

starting price

Cons:

price goes up
dispenser broke
does not last a month
difficult to return
break outs where there were none before

Seemed ok the first 2 weeks. After that breakouts began to occur where none existed before. Customer service made it very difficult to return. New package was sent before trial period was over at $15 more than original price and they make you pay shipping to return something you didn't ask for.

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.
