Pros:

It works really well. I've been using this every day for about 9 years and it really helps. I apply it twice a day w/ no burning or redness or dryness. Wal-Mart now has a generic version that is cheaper and works just as well.

Cons:

It bleaches clothes and colored sheets, etc. Make sure you wash your hands after you use it and be careful when putting on shirts. Also you should probably have white sheets on your bed if you use it at bedtime. I've had many things get bleached.

Very effective and well worth the money. It works way better than the $20-a-tube prescription stuff I was using. I suppose it could make your skin sensitive at first but I've been using it for many years with no problems at all.

Pros:

3.9/5.. on how well it works. NOT BAD.

I started using yesterday and i notice a different already.!!!! my acne isn't red.. is going away=] if u have a bit acne i recommend this just apply it on acne. and leave it on

Cons:

Going to dry my acne lol which is a good thing
but the white stuff.. :( have to leave it alone.

I use Oxy cleansing pads 2% SA first.. then this :D seems like good combo... i needed oxy to prevent break out. , and this for spot treatment since is to powerful not a good idea to apply all over the face.. is 10% BP!!!! :) will dry. ONLY USE IT for spot .

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:

I had acne for a little while now, tried several products, none worked.. 'til I tried this one. It started working from the first application. I wake up having less every single morning. =)

Cons:

At first, everything was fine.
After a few days, it felt itchy.
Sometimes it burns. (happen to me 2 days)Now, my skin is extremely dry. (without moisturizer)

It's the best product I had ever used. I'm really happy with the improvements. Im almost acne-free =). And everyone around me notise differences everyday. Personal advice: DO NOT use this without a moisturizer. bottom line: I recommend it ALOT. but we dont all have the same skin type, so what works for me, might not work for you.

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:

less acne in general; less blackheads

Cons:

dries skin after the first couple of days, esp around mouth & chin area.. but i haven`t experienced that since the first week of using it

I have mild/moderate acne, & this product is probably the best thing i`ve ever tried ! believe me, i`ve tried everything from aspirin to retin-A. idk how it does on its own, considering i use a regimen that also consists of clearasil acne pads, some other clean & clear stuff in a purple tube and clean & clear morning burst, but this was the last thing i added to my regimen and it seems to be doing the most good ! i use it in the morning as well after i get home from school and at night before i go to sleep. it`s a really cheap product so i suggest giving it a try !

Pros:

Kept my acne away, for years. Not one button!!
Clean and clear.

Cons:

Burned in the beginning,
Can get a bit watery, shake tube before applying.

I used it after washing my fcae with St.Ives. At this moment, I can't any in my country and guess what? I am breaking out on my forehead and cheeks. I recommend that you try it and see if it works for you. The same product would not work for everyone.
