Pros:

It dried up some of my small pimples when I first started using it.

Cons:

It made my skin very dry. It also irritated my skin, causing it to break out more often. I had more "under-the-skin" acne that took forever to heal.

During the summer, I started to break out very often, and I was suffering from cyst acne after I used some tea tree oil-based products on my face. I tried Clearasil Ultra because it claims that it will help clear acne fast! At first, it did - some of my small pimples went away in a day or two. It seemed to be effective against my cyst acne as well. However, after about a month or so, I realized that I started to break out even more often - the minute that one acne went away, I could tell that another one was about to erupt! But I decided to keep using Clearasil Ultra since it was working. After another month, the situation got worse - then I had more cyst acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples! Finally, I decided to stop using Clearasil Ultra. I switched to some salicylic acid-based (Peter Thomas Roth) and sulfur-based products (DDF) instead. NOW, my face looks so much better - clearer, smoother and healthier! I will not buy any Clearasil products anymore!!!

Pros:

Works like a charm, I have had trouble with moderate breakouts in the past, and as long as I am diligent about using this, my skin stays clear.

Cons:

Tends to dry out skin, doesn't work unless you use it regularly and consistentl... ie NOT an emergency solution that will fix a sudden breakout but more of an overall maintenance thing.

Wash face with gentle, non-irritating soap (I like Johnson & Johnson Purpose soap or the tea tree oil soap from the body shop... don't use an acne cleanser that has benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid in conjunction with the vanishing cream as it will irritate your skin), pat skin dry, immediately apply vanishing cream in a thin layer over problem areas. If I put on aloe vera gel a few minutes after, I don't have problems with redness, flaking, or dryness.

Pros:

I get my breakouts above my eyebrows and i started using clearasil after it was recommended and it didn't help in the "three days guarenteed" but it helped in about a week, now i have to look for my pimples!

Cons:

drys out skins and makes it falky on occasions

this stuff works in a week, no lie!
October 6, 2007

Pros:

It helps remove and dry out pimples!

Cons:

It sometimes creates more pimple outbreak and dries your skin!

Although it may help you get rid of pimples, it may cause an even bigger pimple outbreak and may dry your skin up which is really annoying.

Pros:

this stuff works!!!! its way better & faster than proactiv! NO INITIAL BREAKOUT!!

like someone else said, clearER skin in 3 days does NOT mean completely clear skin! it takes time for acne to form therefore it takes time to completely clear acne! However, this product is great because it exfoliates (with glycolic acid) while delivering bacteria-killing BP into your pores WITHOUT causing an initial breakout. I have moderate acne with some red marks, and this has helped soo much more than every other acne product (like proactiv, murad, retin-a etc) i have ever tried. I think i have hormonal acne & this is great for keeping it at bay!! TRY IT!

Pros:

Loved the way it worked on new pimples and the 10% BP is great!

Cons:

Sometimes left a white residue on my face that was hard to rub off.

Great product and really only works on those brand new ones.

Pros:

Brings spots to a head
Reduces redness slightly

Cons:

Does not get spots to go down on their own
Drying to the skin
Does not absorb well

This is my 'emergency' cream for when I have a painful, inflamed, red spot that won't come to a head. This usually reduces the pain and speeds up the process so that I can pop the spot with a Comedone extractor a few hours after applying the cream. It does not get rid of spots on it's own but does make them less aggressive and speeds up the process so that it can be covered up with makeup much easier before an important event.
