I've fought with acne for about 14 years. As typical it was far worse in my teen years but it's never been non-existant.

As a result of my long term fight I've used dozens of different creams, lotions, washes, foams, bars...

This product is definately at the top of the list of things I've used. It's not over drying like some other products. While I thought that very dry might be good as oil seems to be the problem, drying tends to cause more problems than benefits. This cleans well without drying.

It's very thick. It has the consistency of vegetable shortining or cream cheese. Where most creams are thin like soaps tend to be, this could be compared to a cold cream or noxema's traditional cream.

There's a strong tingling that comes with using this. The product suggests it is the 'deep cleaning' - I'd argue it's menthol or something similar to suggest deep cleaning. When they say on the label "don't use near eyes" take heed. Whatever makes it tingle will spread to your eyes if you wash too close and it's not pleasant. Its never burned or be unbearable but for about 20 minutes after use too close to the eyes you'll be aware you just washed your face.

I'm not sure I buy the suggestion that "it deposits benzoyl peroxide in your pores" but it has kept all but one significant blemish off my face for about 6 weeks now. Even that one blemish I could blame on my lack of attention to regular cleansing.

It's certainly good stuff. I definately recommend it but don't buy all the advertising pitches. It works but it's only as well as your cleaning habits.

I dealt with acne problems for many years, went through countless acne-fighting products. I've used all the face washes (salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide), used the astringents and spot-treatments, and tried the natural stuff. I've found this to be the most effective product for me. I use it once a day as face scrub in the morning, and at night I use a mild cleanser. I've been using this for about 2 years now, and have been acne-free the whole time. Definitely use a lotion afterwards though, because this will dry out your skin. And use white face towels, because this will bleach the color out of anything else.

Over the past 7 years I've tried nearly every facewash, and this is the only one that NEVER makes me break out ever. It doesn't take away all the oil like some other facewash does, but I think that's part of why it works. It NEVER dries your skin out by removing too much oil. It also has the strongest concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide I've seen in an onver the counter product (10%). This does wonders for me and if this product ever went away I'd be screwed. The only thing I don't like about it is that it can be expensive in stores, and you can run out of it quick if you don't ration it correctly. Even though it's a cream that doesn't spread that well, you don't need very much for it to be effective. It's still worth spending the extra money (even for a cheap/poor college student such as myself) because of how well it works.

So, I have had cystic nodular acne since I was 17 (The worst kind). I have seen countless dermatologists and have taken/used: minocycline, clindamycin, benzamycin, salicylic acid, and hibiclens on my face. When I started taking this medicine my face cleared in a month. I have since used it over the past 2 years. Now, I will occasionally get a pimple still, but compared to before it's nothing. Two caveats with this medicine: it will bleach your towels, and it will make your skin a little sun-sensitive. However, compared to the cost, messiness, and expense of other available treatments, this one wins hands down.

My 12 yr old daughter was having lots of trouble w/her skin (puberty had struck!). Once she started using this product, her skin cleared up & has remained beautiful. Other products that we used didn't do the trick. I would HIGHLY recomment this product to anyone struggling w/any sort of breakouts (mild to extreme). W/daily use you'll see good results, I'm sure.

I had (note past verb tense, thanks to this product) very mild acne so I tried this stuff. It works like a charm.
I was hesistant at first to use facewash as I usually use creams, but this stuff has the proper medication to give you a clean feeling, drying your skin just the right amount.
I would reccomend this product to everyone

So far, when used daily, has proved to be the only thing that truly works. Be careful when washing though as it will bleach clothes if you acccidentally splash some.

The back of my legs were horrible - red bumps from shaving up the leg as opposed to downward. For the past two years I've been embarrassed to show them in shorts but I'm muscular so would like to show them off! I initially tried a Neutrogena salicylic acid dealy, didn't work and I applied it nightly to work as I slept. No dice. Got frustrated and purchased a simple tube of Clean and Clear Continuous Cleanser for a mere $4.50 lat night at Wal-Mart, came home, took a shower, and rubbed a dime-sized amount on the back of my thighs for 30 seconds each as directed. NOT KIDDING - today the back of my legs are BEAUTIFUL. The redness and bumps have diminished greatly and I am wearing short shorts as I type this. ONE USE!! I am excited to see what my legs will look like by the end of the week. Goodbye red bumps. Goodbye ingrown hair. Goodbye covering my legs up in the summertime. HELLO LEGS!! Thank you Clean and Clear Continuous Cleanser for working effectively and being so affordable!!!

I've been using this product for a while now, and it has really worked for me (I'm 18 and have been struggling with Mild and sometimes Extreme Acne). I know a lot of people have been saying it ruins towels and stuff well this is my advice: Use it in the Shower. What I do is, while I'm taking a shower, I put conditioner in my hair and then put some of this stuff on my hands and massage it into my face. Then After like 30-35 secs I wash it off, splashing water in my face just like the commercials. This is the best way I think to use this product, and it works for me, AND doesn't bleach any of my towels or clothes. Great Product, for skin with mild to extreme acne. It WORKS!

Not much to say - the title says it all! The Acne cleanser works as advertised and as other reviewers have mentioned. It really clears up my skin and renders it kissably smooth, aww-yeah! Only drawback is the weird smell, but I wash it off and don't rub it on the inside of my nose so that is not really a problem.
