Pros:

Begins working the first time you use it; actually works!!

Cons:

Cannot stop using it or you will break out again. I have read that it causes sensitive skin to break out in a rash, however this has never happened to me.

I used this product all through high school and had wonderfully clear skin. When I stopped using it my senior year because I never broke out and believed I was done with acne, I broke out terribly and had to be put on Accutane. A couple months ago, the effects of Accutane began wearing off and I tried everything, including prescribed topical Retinoid creams from my dermatologist, with no results. After making an appointment with my derm to go back on Accutane, I tried this again and a week later my skin looks and feels amazing! No more Accutane!

Pros:

-Clears skin in about 4 to 5 weeks
-Makes skin less oily(Win!)
-Reduces redness
-Works great on recently popped pimples
-Underground pimples(cysts) go away within a week

Cons:

-Makes skin a bit to dry sometimes but what's lotion for?
-When applied on nonaffected areas it itches and irritates the skin
-Doesnt work so great on blackheads

It's a great product and I don't understand why people give such bad reviews on it. I understand that some products don't work on some people but that doesn't mean you have to give it a bad reputation. I started to use it about a month ago and my skin by far looks the best it's been in years. I'm 15 and have been struggling with acne since I was 12. I currently go to high school and I see girls and gals with horrible acne. I always come up to them and tell them to try this product. On some it worked but others it didn't. It all depends on your skin. Just try the product and if it works then great! But if it doesn't then just keep searching. Don't give up and let acne take over your life.

Pros:

* My skin doesn't dry out
* No irritation
* Pimples looked noticably smaller after 2 days

Cons:

*slight stinging when I first put it on. It stops after 5 minutes though

I have really stupid acne so instead of rubbing the product onto my acne until it's clear I leave it in white blobs overnight. I realized this helps the healing process faster. During the day i rub it in clear so I can put my makeup over it. This helps to make sure no excess oil or dirt is getting into and clogging my pores. I do this every single night and my skin is great! I have no acne and when I do it is bearly noticeable! I do keep in mind though that acne starts before you can see it so I wash my face with both olay faoming facewash, and clearasil daily face wash. I reccomend this to anyone like me who is tired of constant acne, broken promises on labels, and celebritys with perfect skin promoating acne washes. Please try this. I'm not a computer, I'm not a brand rep. I am a person who is sicka nd tired of acne. So get rid of it like I did. Hope this helps you all!

Pros:

Works good for all zit types (small whiteheads to nasty cysts). It took 2 nights of putting a big blob on each zit (6 zits, 1 large cyst, 2 normal-sized and the rest were small). I woke up the 2nd morning, and the 2 bigger ones had a head on them including the ugly cyst and the other zits dried up. Good stuff in my book!

Cons:

Burns for about 5ish minutes, until it absorbs and dries a bit...no pain, no gain! Because I use such a large blob, it takes a little elbow grease to carefully clean it off w/out torturing your zits!

I typically use meds from the derm...and I have used EVERYTHING OTC and from the derm. I haven't used OTC meds for years and my sister told me to try it, otherwise I wouldn't have. She read the statement on the box that said "works in 4 hours", so I went running to the store :) it's very effective for my stubborn inflammatory acne! I only gave it 4 stars, because I have a couple old zits (1 of them is an old cyst) that you can't see, but can feel....it hasn't done anything for those! But, then again...nothing will help them!

Pros:

Reduces redness and size
Prevents new pimples from forming
Dries quickly
Removes existing pimples
Very fast and effective

Cons:

Drying
Stings on first applications

I am 15 and I know that acne is common at my age but I just couldn't take it anymore! I used to have at least 20 or more pimples on my face at a time and I hated looking at myself in the mirror. So I bought this cream that a friend recommended and the Clearasil Daily Face Cleanser for 100% of acne. I apply it twice daily, in the morning and night after washing my face. The first week was a drag. It dried out my skin to the point where I felt my face would rip if I moved it. If I tried to put moisturizer on top, it was just a sticky mess. But, it did work. By the end of the week my pimples were barely noticeable. Now, 4 weeks later, my face is clear as it has ever been. If I do get acne, it's only 3 at most at a time. And now that my skin has gotten used to the cream, I don't mind applying it at all. It doesn't dry out my skin as much and it doesn't burn or sting at all. I can add cream on top within a few min. and it will be fine. I recommend this cream, but give it about a month so your skin will adjust. You won't regret it!

Pros:

Works on my skin type, which is combination. My skin can also dry out, though, and the product did not cause it to. My skin was free of acne and felt smooth after the first month.

Cons:

Don't see any at this point in time. Unlike most of the people who have reviewed this product, my skin didn't burn, tingle, sting, itch, or wasn't irritated at all.

It actually works for me. Going from Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, and the dreaded ProActiv, Clearasil works well with my skin type, tone and acne severity. I'll definitely buy more in the future.

Pros:

-Reduced large whitehead size
-You really do see a difference quickly (maybe not 4 hours, but pretty fast)

Cons:

-Did nothing for redness
-Didn't get RID of zit
-Irritates skin (I have sensitive skin)
-Expensive

I'd use this if you want a one-time quick fix. But this cream doesn't really help you in the long run. For me, it helped get my zits out of that gross whitehead phase, however, the zit would only change, not disappear. It would become un-pop-able and hard to deal with. I think it caused worse scarring. DO NOT USE THIS CREAM ALL OVER YOUR FACE. It is only a spot treatment. I used it all over my face yesterday and today my skin is so painful! (Not damaged, but extremely uncomfortable) Also-if you do buy it and really want to get rid of a zit fast, don't follow the directions and put on a "thin coating"- GOP THAT BABY ON! It's the only way it works.

Pretty good:)
I'm 13, almost 14 year-old and I have secere acne. I've tried brands like AcneFree and Eskinol , and home remedies too, but they either made my skin really dry, made more pimples, and/or did nothing at all. I've been looking for something that would actual work and would be able to show visible results. Then I found this. After using the Clearsil Ultra Rapid Action Acne Face Scrub, I applied a thin layer of the treatment cream onto my trouble spots and left it overnight. Then I woke up and POOF! a few of the pimple have shrunk or vanished! now some of the pimples havent vanished but they have shrunken, which i understand. But the one thing that bothers me is that after the pinple shrinks, it leaves a brown spot (probably an acne scar, which takes a long while for it to completely dissapear). But if you want a pimple to decrease, then this will work.

Never use this product
In the beggining it worked really good. Then after a week of finally being confident i got the worst acne i have ever had in my life. I hate everyone who created this.
