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:

-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.

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.

* Cheap

* CHEAP! ;)

Cons:

* Takes a long time to ship
* Cleanser runs out too quickly
* Dries out skin

I have tried Everything from OTC to expensive laser treatments and topical creams/ gels. I had clear skin in high school and started breaking out in college. I had acne for the past 12 years! It was sooo bad at one point I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. I was so depressed and my whole mood depended on the clarity of my skin. Acne was controlling my life. The laser treatments and Retin A helped in the beginning but my skin was getting immune to the treatments and I was spending a fortune on doctor visits! I tried MaxClarity with not much hope left. It works GREAT and controlled my oily skin. I usually get big cystic pimples on the lower part of my face. Max Clarity helped considerably and I no longer get cystic painful acne. I do get whiteheads here and there and smaller pimples, BUT it's nothing compared to how bad my face was before Maxclarity. Everyone's skin is different, but you definitely should give MaxClarity a try. There is NO miracle remedy for acne! Accept and treat it!

Pros:

Not expensive. The foam regimen is easy to follow because its nothing elaborate. I think its working. I have acne scars all over my face from since about 13 years. I've tried everything there is on the market including expensive trips to the dermatologist. Maxclarity seems to be working better than any of them. I've been using it now for about 3 weeks regularly and my face is clearing up! the blemishes/scars seem to be fading as well. So far no breakouts!

Cons:

Dries up my skin bad! I have to use a moisturizer about 4 times after each time that I use the product. I think I have a small chemical burn on either corner of my lips because the acne treatment foam is a little strong, but since the rest of my face seems to clearing up fast, I won't stop using it. I just make sure I don't apply the product to that area. The nozzles of the bottles take a while to get used to to dispense just a little amount of the foam.

I have moderate to severe acne which gets worse around my period. Right now after about 3 weeks of using the product, my face seems remarkably clearer than before. I only want to wait till my next period and see if I have another breakout. If I do, I'll know the problem is purely hormonal. I'm also avoiding all fatty food and eating a lot of vegetables and fruits which I'm sure is helping! I would say, try it once for about 2-3 weeks. Everyone responds differently to each product. This just may be the one for you! This product I think would work even better on people who have mild acne but prominent scarring and blemishes. Try it once.

Pros:

clears acne
softens skin
it works
doesn't dry
light foam

Cons:

delivery program
cans can break

overall i like this product. it did help me. i did not get random blemishes and breakouts. however the supply they give you does not last long enough. it did not dry out my skin which is a major issue that i have with most non foam cleansers. however, they don't supply enough of the cleansing foam. though this is mainly because it is an infomercial product. i decided not to continue using it just because of they did not send enough of the product and then i would have too much of the toner and treatment and not enough of the cleanser.
