Pros:

Seriously gets rid of blackheads
Leaves skin feeling fresh and clean

Cons:

Does include salicylic acid-which causes dry skin
I don't really think it treats acne

This awesome product cleared away all my blackheads in, like, only 5 days. Though it does dry out your skin a little bit, just put on some moisterizer afterwards. And I had it pretty bad on my nose and some on my chin and now there is nothing but smooth skin on those areas. (Notice how I said ONLY those areas, the rest of my face isn't doing so well right now) The tube is now empty, I don't even use it anymore and nothing has come up on my nose and chin so far. I guess the black heads just kind of disappeared. :) :) :) :) :) 5 smiles on this product!

Pros:

beads exfoliate, smells good, you actually see less blackheads in 2 days!

Cons:

of course it can't get rid of all your blackheads in 1 day so it will take a while,does dry skin a little so use a moisturizer after

The day I started using this it started exfoilitaing my skin and i saw improvment quickly. I have blackheads just on my nose so wherever you have the most blackheads concentrate on that part but make sure to still use it all over your face because it cleans your pores and helps prevent breakouts.

Pros:

As good as any other exfoliant cleanser out on the market. Skin feels smooth and clean afterwards.

Cons:

a bit messy to apply and clean up.

I use this as part of botchla's regimen. Use it together with clean and clear continuous control acne cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. Use just the blackhead clearing scrub in the morning(shower works best), and use both products before bed. Apply and rinse each product seperately and don't use hot water. If your skin is sensitive don't rub the cleanser with benzoyl peroxide into your skin for more than a minute. Start off slow and work your way up. This regimen really works well for me. Have been using it over a year. Try it! Be patient as well and give it 2-3 weeks before you knock it.

Pros:

It didn't burn or smell bad.

Cons:

It doesn't work too well, it comes in contact with your hands and even if you wash your hands before you use it you have to touch the bottle so it puts oil back in your skin.

Don't use it because it sucks and isnt worth the money.

Didn't work
To put it simple, this did not help clear my blackheads or acne in general. I have normal skin and all this did for me was make my skin feel clean, and it did not break me out either. (I used it for a few months)

You Can Do Better
I've been using this product for a while now and boy oh boy is it rough. If you have sensitive skin this is not the product for you because I don't even have sensitive skin and it's too harsh for me. It was so rough that when I would wash it off my skin it left my face feeling kind of raw and uncomfortable. It however does clean your face and somewhat get rid of blackheads, but who wants to buy a product that does not fully do what it is intended to do. You are better off finding a different blackhead cleansing scrub.

Hyperpigmentation and the Inevitable Breakout
I originally tried this a year or two ago after reading about how salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide together help with clearing your skin. Initially, this product works- it does wonders for your skin and keeps you clear... but it also comes with a price. My skin became heavily dependent on the product, forcing me to use the product every morning and night under penalty of a major breakout if I skipped even the slightest little portion of my cleansing routine. Even with using this product as a weekly or even bi-weekly exfoliator, one can always feel confident to know that you will have a breakout of some extent the next morning. Furthermore, when you would inevitably have a breakout, your skin would be left with terrible hyperpigmentation, which to this day, nearly 17 months after a major breakout, I still have a lingering reminder of the Clean & Clear product that left my face a disaster.

Not for breakout prone, sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin, so anything with Salicylic Acid is a big no no for me. It didn't even clear any black heads, as I tend to get them on my nose. Maybe it would work for people who don't have acne prone skin, but it's definitely not for me.
