Clean & Clear : Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength

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.

it works... this ingredient has always worked for me except my skin is a little bit sensitive to it.. i help it by only using it every other day and it still does the trick. i don't even need to apply make up anymore to cover any blemishes.. because there arent any!

I love this product! It works great to dry up oil on your skin, and reduces redness and swelling in about a day. I have not seen any effect on blackheads however. I put it on every night before i sleep.

it works pretty well, but it's pretty inconsistent.

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.

i dont know what to say about this product. its good at fist but then it gets worse

When I used this product on my skin it didn't agree with me, but that not saying it doesn't work. I think I'm just sensitive to high doses of benzoyl peroxide because even when using a moisturizer it didn't help with the redness and itching. I reduced usage to just being a spot treatment but still the redness and irritation continued, switched to a 2.5% bp treatment and that worked for me. So if you're not sensitive to the product it may work for you, but if you start getting redness and severe peeling I would discontinue usage because you may be sensitive to the product. I guess you never really know until you try.

I think that it may be too highly concentrated in benzoyl peroxide that it irritates my skin a little too much. I put it on a small zit that was forming and now it's huge haha. It sucks. I'll be sure not to use this stuff anymore. It's all good it wasn't expensive. Maybe this stuff just isn't for me.

Buy it. Ive tried other products, proactiv ect and they didnt work! This is the only spot treatment that has worked for me for years :)

I heard it was a great product, but I've heard that about a lot of things butI gave it a try anyway. My acne has been pretty bad for about five years. I do/did wear make-up to cover it, which was not the best decision, but i hate going out in public with my acne. I have been using this for about a week now and I can tell a HUGE difference so far. Especially with the black heads on my nose. It has reduced those dramatically. I have naturally dry skin and this has made my skin very dry but all worth it if its working. I use this with - purpose bar for a cleanser - neutrogena pore refining toner - ponds dry skin cream as a moisturizer - and almay blemish healing foundation when I wear make-up. and this is the first time I have actually seen my acne start to go away.
