Pros:

Effective tool, helping to both reduce acne immediately over night as well as preventing future breakouts.
Creates a high turnover of skin cells, which helps with the natrual smoothing of skin.

Cons:

Skin will become dry, especially in the colder winter months but a solid moisturizer, that is non-condegemic and light, will aid those worrying about suh an effect.

This is an extremely effective product, and I feel as though I should clear up some misuderstandings and misconceptions. Firstly, acne that you recieve in the second or third week of use, will often by acne that is inevitable and unpreventable, because of prior skin treatment. Secondly, the skin will more than likely experience ups and downs, but the skin will consistently be moving in a positive direction( less blemishes and issues). Thirdly, this product has no affect on acne scars. The blemish left by a declining pimpe may be mistaken as a "scar" but is merely a step in he healing process. This product will not create any new scars, but will help to prevent and settle the users skin.

Works Fab and cheap

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:

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.

Pros:

Cleans up acne very well, pimples are few and far between. Goes on easy and blends in quickly. Only one step so it is very convenient, takes about 15 seconds to use.

Cons:

Dries skin mildly, can easily be fixed with a light moisturizer. I noticed that it stung and irritated the skin when used after shaving, but I've noticed that with other skin products too. If you shave just give it a few hours before use.

Awesome. Obviously worth the five or six dollars to purchase. It does dry the skin a bit but a light moisturizer will do the trick, and as I said above, the only thing to avoid is using the product after shaving. I've had mild to moderate acne for about five years, and in that time my skin has never looked better than it has in the last month. I've had no bad pimples and only two very small ones, and with good facial cleansing and consistent use of the product twice a day, even these can be eliminated. All in all a great product.

Pros:

It seem to work really well i've used benzoyl peroxcide before in Benzaclin(?) but i didn't want to get that again. I bought the Wal-Mart Brand and it seems good so far i've only used last night this morning and just now when i got home from school:)

Cons:

none so far but i'm expceting it to dry my skin out alittle but that's okay my moisturizer will fix that :-)

I think it works really good :-) better that the salicylic acid spot treatment:-)

Pros:

Cleared up my acne really well.

Cons:

Sometimes it burns a little but not much. And you have to remember to put on sunscreen before going outside when you use this product.

This product is great. I never really breakout much but when i do it's awful. I got this product and it cleared my skin like within a day. I got mine at a high end cosmetics store so it was kinda expensive but you can find it cheaper.
