Pros:

Works Fab and cheap

Cons:

None

I am 27 and used this product for a little while when I was a freshman in college and it worked well then. I stopped breaking out for years and then I swithed my birth control pills (TMI) and my face started to break out. I started using this product again and now my face is as smooth as a babies bottom. No bumps at all. Just apply twice a day and you are good. Best product on the market!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Felt like my face was burning off and i only used a tiny bit on my chin and forehead. My face was red, swollen and irriated. Its been 5 days since i put it on ONE time and my face is still itching, dried out and feels like lizard skin its so rough.

I would not get this product EVER again.

Pros:

Quickly reduces pimples as long as you have it on

Cons:

Does not prevent new pimples

The first couple times it REALLY drys up your skin, but when your skin gets used to it dry skin will no longer be an issue. For best results, use over night.

Pros:

dirt Cheap& works surprisingly well.

Cons:

May dry up skin

I've used tazorac,retin a,proactiv,neutrogena, with ok results.Just started using this 3 wks ago & my pimples are gone. I have mild to moderate acne. i use purpose cleanser,cetaphil lotion and purpose suncreen spf15, best combination of products. works wonders for me. this bp gel is unscented,leaves skin a litle white. I apply cetaphil lotion around the corners of my mouth,nose,eyes bfore applying bp,to reduce dryness and redness. works very well. I'm psyched about this hope it continues to work for me as my skin tends to get use to meds quickly. i'll update in 2 months.

Pros:

within 3 days of use, you can already see some dramatic changes on your face. works really well.

Cons:

burns/stings REALLY BAD. leaves residue while applying moisturizer. can dry out your skin.

on the first few days of your usage of this product, you may experience the side effects of BP. this includes redness, burning, itching, and drying. but don't get discouraged by these. it works really well. you just have to endure the pain on the first few days you use this product.

Pros:

Clears up the skin very well

Cons:

Doesn't work for Blackheads (That is one area where I consider Proactiv to be good, otherwise Proactiv Sucks!)

I am 21 years old and have had bad acne all over my face for almost a year. Since the last six months I started using Proactiv, it worked well for two weeks but after that I found that I was getting severe breakouts on my face than what I had. I also had blackheads around my nose but during these two weeks of using proactiv, I found that they had disappeared. With the breakouts I decide to stop proactiv and try something which does work effectively. I read reviews online, and found Clean & Clear to be good and started using it. It's five months now and I can confidently say that I am 90% free from acne. I would recommend this for every acne sufferer more than any acne product and specially Proactiv.

Pros:

Helps keep my acne away
Not too drying

Cons:

None

BP is the only treatment that works for me and I've tried them all -- retin a, taz, clindamycin, differing etc. I like that this doesn't dry me out. I tried Dan's BP and even though I use BP, it made my skin very dry and irriatated like I was having an allergic reaction. (Sorry Dan!!) Since I've used BP forever, I knew this wasn't true. I think I may be allergic to one of the inactive ingredients in Dan's. Boo hoo, because I love it here and would like to love it. Anyway, I mix it in my palm with my moisturizer so it dries me out less and apply it to my entire face before bed. That works at keeping acne away and keeping me not dry. I just recently started doing it this way...before I was using it straight (lol) and then applying moisturizer, but that still left me a bit dry. My new method really works for me. I also use Dan's AHA a few times a week to exfoliate.
