Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Cons:
It does have a waxy consistency.
Made me break out.
The first two days on this 3 in 1 system were great. My skin was smoother and less red. However upon day 3 I noticed I was getting these small bumps on my temples and below my jaw line. Luckily you couldn't see them... but I could feel them. I stopped using the products, went back to Dan's Regimen, and the bumps have gone away. I've never had an issue with salicylic acid products before, but this one definitely did not agree with my skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
none

those blue beads are worthless, they are hard to wash off and i find them through out the day in my hair, lol. It doesnt help with blackhead and do dries your skin.
try something else.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Good price. With online the coupon combined with a store sale, I ended up paying only $9.99. Easy to use tubes, sensible packaging. Smells great, but might as well just be face perfume.
Cons:
Made me break out worse than anything I've ever seen on my own skin. Extremely large, almost boil-like, pimples mainly along my hairline and chin. HORRIBLE!!
I have pretty oily combination skin and I know i NEED exfoliation, which this product has none of. It just didn't work for me AT ALL. Best of luck!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I don't find many pros to this product. It didn't work for me as fast as St. Ives works. But then again, everyone's skin is different. What may work for you may not work for me. In the long run this ruins your PH Balance...
Cons:
1. Cleanser is too runny.
2. Spot Treatment burned my skin, felt horrible.
3. Moisturizer doesn't really moisturize.
Definitely not satisfied with the product. In the long run it will make your skin worst then before you used it. By no means am I suggesting people use St.Ives either for the simple fact that in the long run it ALSO destroys your skin, but it does get rid of acne really fast. Like I said, what may work for you may not work for me and vice versa.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I have nothing good to say about this product.
Cons:
I used this product for 2 days. The next morning I woke up with a swollen, red, extremely dry, itchy face with little bumbs all over it. I bought this product hoping to clear up breakouts on my chin.
I will never use this product again. I have read that if you start out using a new acne cleanser, start using it 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The rest of the days use a mild, frangrance free wash and moisturizer. I didn't read this until after my face was destroyed.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
First time you use it it feels great, it's clean and light. It really helps if you have mild acne and the smell is really fresh.
Cons:
Even though it helped me a lot after a year or so of using the product I was immune to it. And it just started to become a mositurizer and did not help my acne. I've tried using it as a spot treatment and did not really work afterwards.
If you want something that takes you acne away for a short time, this would be the product for you and it feels great. But know everyone's skin type is different so your results could turn out better then mine.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
have not found any pros yet; however I purchased the clear advantage system at a discounted price so that was a plus I suppose. And the saleswoman was really friendly and answered all of my questions.
Cons:
Does NOT clear up acne and makes skin very itchy!
I don't have terrible skin, but it was bad enough that I thought I'd try an acne system. Definitely would not try using this one again! Typically I only break out badly during one week of the month (you know what week I'm talking about) but this product is making me break out worse than I ever have before. I have huge, red, itchy, cystic acne all over my face, not just in my normal problem areas. It's so embarrassing! I have only been using the system for a week and a half, but I am stopping use now. The salespeople told me it would take 3 days to work, however the instant I started using it I saw my acne flair up more and more.
