Pros:

The packaging is nice. My skin always feels very smooth and not dry after I use it.

Cons:

It made my skin break out horribly after the first few days, worse than it ever had before.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if it's working. My skin seems to be getting better but every day I look at my face and I have a new zit or pimple somewhere. My pores look HUGE and they're always sweating out. I have only been using it for about two weeks and I plan on sticking with it until the bottle runs out at least. Hopefully my skin will look great by then. Don't really have much of a choice.

Pros:

It has a shiny cover, helped clear the spots on my back,

Cons:

It dries skin out on my face making my spots there even worse, stings a bit, made me look about 45

Just like any other clearasil abomination it is largely alcohol based, and isn't good for anyone's skin. Because it dried my skin out so much I looked awful every morning, like I had aged and not had enough sleep.

Pros:

Does what it says it does.

Cons:

Doesn't do what it says it does for very long.

The 3-day promise came true for me. Past that, not a whole lot of improvement. The formula is WAY too harsh--the scrubbing bits left me itchy and the cleanser itself made my skin dry out. After a few months, my skin is worse than ever.

Pros:

does improve(slightly) mild acne by drying the face.

Cons:

none

try not to use allover face but in certain problematic areas (p.ex.forehead). Ideal only for very mild acne

Pros:

It smells kind of alright

Cons:

Price, it may not work in 3 days

I havent used it but ive seen it work for some people i guess. I dont clearasil only olive oil and vaseline and sometimes nivea cream thats all for me and it works and washing my face with cold water. for the ones that f**ked up your face use either toothpaste on your face or put a paper bag over

Pros:

Helped for only about a month, then acne came back.

Cons:

Dried out my skin like crazy! Especially near lips.

Sort of reccommended if you're just trying around. Make sure you use a mositurizer after
