Pros:

Works well for mild acne

Cons:

Strong smell

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter, and it worked very well. She has oily skin on her nose and forehead, and was breaking out on a regular basis, with small red bumps all over her nose, and along her hairline. She has been using the soap twice a day for several months, and her skin looks great and smooth. I think it works really well if you use it regularly.

it might leave your skin somewhat dry.

Pros:

It super cleans my skin, leaving it feeling really clean.

Cons:

It also makes my skin super dry.

Glyceren soap has never really helped my acne but then again it dosn't make it worse. It's good to use if i run out of liquid cleanser and havn't gotten around to buying another bottle yet.

Pros:

It worked!! In like 1 week. I used it on my arm. Now I'm going to try it on my face.

Cons:

dries out my skin, but 20 minutes later my oily skin is back to normal, so I don't use a moisturizer.

I actually tried this product on my arm. I'm not sure if the bumps on my arm was acne. It think it was from an allergic reaction to soy food. Anyway, the bumps looked absolutely terrible. About 20 somethin' bumps all in one area. The bumps had dried and went down a little the next day. But I apply the soap directly to my skin and leave it on about 10 minutes before I rinse it off. I used it about 3 times a day as well. It really worked. Now that it worked flawlessly on my arm, I just started trying it on my face today. I hope the results are just as good!!

Pros:

Gets rid of oily skin, works great and gently to get rid of acne. It rinses very clean.

Cons:

It has a mild smell...something sort of like cat food. But it doesn't really leave your skin smelling like that. And yes, it dries out your skin, but most cleansers do. You should always use a moisturer anyway.

I went through a battle with moderate acne for almost four years. I tried every home remedy, soap, or acne system, and some things lessened my acne, but it was never really gone. I started using this bar because I was sick of the harsh soaps and medications. I was so surprised when my acne started to disapear and my skin was less oily. It kept my skin clear and healthy-even during that time of the month. Now I finally feel comfortable going out without any concealor or foundation on. I don't have to cover up my skin anymore :) I have two tips for any users-Always use a moisturizer. Clean and Clear actually make some really great moisturizers. I use their Morning Glow moisturizer (and it has spf 15). Also, to keep your bar from "melting", keep it in a drier are of your bathroom; not in your shower or in a puddle on your sink. I'm still on my first bar, and I've been using it for almost a month. :D

Pros:

dried most of my oil problem, makes me feel cleaner, prevents some of the pusy pimples.

Cons:

I feel like I'm getting more of those annoying little white heads that stay under my skin.

Unless it's because I pick at my face too much I can't seem to get rid of the little annoying whiteheads that don't come up to the surface of my skin (mostly around the bottom of my mouth and between eyebrows).

Pros:

lasts a long time, easy to use, relatively cheap

Cons:

didn't do anything to help at all

i've used this soap for a while, and although it didn't dry out my skin as other products did, it has done absolutely nothing to help my acne and it has actually made my skin less smooth. it's even made me break out a little more; i've never had blackheads or whiteheads but i have pustules and so i don't know about the other ones, but it hasn't helped me at all.
