Pros:

makes pimples go away faster, reduces redness.

Cons:

doesn't prevent new ones, first few times it dries out skin very much, but then skin gets used to it. can't use when wearing makeup or your face looks like a dried up lake.

works better than any other over the counter acne medications and even better than most doctor prescribed stuff (and way better than friggin proactive, which is a major rip-off).

Pros:

It has made my zits just a little bit smaller, but I've only been using this for a day, so I need to wait some more.

Cons:

you can't cake it on or it will become really dry and annoying.

I've heard a TON of great comments on this. I think it's working, so we'll see!

Pros:

Cleared Up Acne Fast
Unscented
Cheap

Cons:

Dried Skin Up
Left White Marks On Face
Burns a little, and bleaches.

If you're getting this, mix some moisturizer (preferably from the Daniel Kern store) and oil free sunblock and this product is perfect!

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.
