Review by Sheryl A. Robinson:

I have mild acne and i’ve used almost everything out there to get rid of it, and this acne system is by far the best out there. I’ve used proactive and when i bought it was 60 dollars, i used it for 3 months and there really wasn’t much change in my acne. I’ve been using this clearasil acne kit for about a month and my face has almost totaly cleared up. Not only is it better then proactive its also a third of the cost, i would definitely recommend this product with mild acne over anything out there. BUY THIS ACNE SYSTEM IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Review by A. Reece:

I have used EVERYTHING from Proactiv, to Acne Free to Noxema and Clearasil is the best thing yet! It is not harsh on my skin and it really does work! I am 31 years old and still have occasional breakouts….this is the stuff for me! I highly recommend it!

Review by Ambergris:

I ended up buying a tube of the Clearasil tinted cream here for it was surprisingly hard to find in stores locally. Acne ointments, and the attitude of people that use them, have evidently changed since my time of being a teenager. Just about all there was back then was a cream that hid the zits while it worked. The only teenagers that I knew that opted for the vanishing variety were big and tough enough that they didn’t have to worry about being teased. A scan of the shelves in several stores here found me not finding a single brand that was flesh tinted. So I came to Amazon to relive the nostalgia of my youth since I found myself breaking out lately due to a new found exercise routine causing a lot of sweating. The bottom line is the Clearasil worked perfectly by getting rid of all the blemishes present in a matter of 3 days. And all the while hiding them effectively like old times. Clearasil is right in declaring their ointment having the largest concentration of benzoyl peroxide without a prescription. I wasn’t able to find any others that came close to the 10% in Clearasil. It very well could be that a much milder or not so strong scented formula of acne med could have done the job just as easily on my problem. I wasn’t exactly being called pepperoni face. However if you are, and you’re not a big tough guy, (or one to just think its cool to expose your zits to your peers while you’re treating them) I recommend the Clearasil tinted cream very much. Its fast, very effective, and as noted can be rubbed in to hide the problem until they’re gone….

Review by M. Laleh:

I would wash my face, and it would turn all nice and sparkly. Then in the morning, it would be terribly icky again. Then I tried this clearasil product out (I WAS a neutrogena person). After cleaning my face at night, I put this on right afterwards. In the morning I woke up and BAM! My face is glowing! Sometimes when I’m too tired at night. I just use a face wipe and then put the clearasil on. Wake up in the morning, and my face is still amazingly clear.

Review by sayock:

It seems like this product worked better when I first started using it. This product has the same active ingredient in it as is in Proactiv’s products, but at a higher percentage. I had used Proactiv before trying this product and, interestingly enough, some comments made by others about Proactiv is that 1) it seems to stop working eventually or doesn’t work as well as time goes on, and 2) the active ingredient actually works best at a lower percentage. It seems that now when I apply this cream, it does nothing for my skin, whereas before I could actually fail to follow the directions of using it 3 times a day and the spots where I had acne would clear up quickly (and this product works differently from Proactiv, perhaps because of the difference in percentage of benzoyl peroxide and more products used in its treatment). In addition, this cream, unlike Proactiv, actually dries my skin out in the spots where I use it. If my skin isn’t a little moist when I apply this cream, then the cream leaves dried white spots/flakes where I rub it in.

There are two reasons why this product won’t always work/might not work on your acne:

1) The active ingredient is supposed to fight acne caused only by bacteria. However, not all acne is caused by bacteria. So, if you have a breakout because of clogged pores (you probably need sulfur as the active ingredient) or dead skin cells (you probably need salicylic acid/exfoliators), then products with benzoyl peroxide are not what you need. This is the reason why most elaborate acne treatments, such as Proactiv and the Clean & Clear system, include several products for you to use–each generally has a different active ingredient so that they can treat all these major causes of acne. If you have scars, bp is not going to do the trick, either. Scars after acne is a huge problem for me, and even Proactiv did pretty much nothing about that (and no other product out there does anything about it, I’ve found). I suggest Vitamin E cream for acne scars. These are just the common causes of acne and acne problems; there are others that are more difficult to find products to treat, such as eczema, allergies, irritants to the skin (weather, products, etc), and even the foods you eat and your health. BP will do nothing for these things.

2) Any product that fights bacteria will stop working eventually if you use it a lot, because the bacteria eventually becomes immune to the treatment. Haven’t you ever heard this about taking antibiotics? I have, and the same thing applies for anything that is anti-bacterial, from Neosporin (which some people recommend for spot treatment on acne because it is anti-bacterial) to Dial soap. I used up one tube of this cream and started on another one, but by the time I got to the second tube it just wasn’t working anymore.

Therefore, this product is best for those who have acne caused from bacteria–and very little acne, at that. As someone who gets acne spots frequently (and often times in similar/the same places), this product stopped working for me because I had to use it too often. If you’re the kind of person who generally has clear skin but gets an occasional blemish, this might work for you.

Review by Nicole Martinez:

My title may indicate that the ingredients in this product are strong and thus work well and while that may be true, the ingredients in this product also smell extremely strong. While the scent is not unbearable I find that it stays with me quite a while after I use it.

All that aside, the idea of a spot treatment for acne and blemishes is great. See one? Treat it by itself so you don’t have to dry out the rest of your skin, right?

Too bad it doesn’t work so well. While even just an application a day makes a world of difference, if you expect your break outs to clear up in just 3 days, you’re going to have to follow the directions exactly and apply this product 2 – 3 times over the course of one day.

I don’t know anyone who wants to check their watch every 6 hours to see if it’s time to put on more awful smelling acne treatment and, honestly, I don’t know if I would really want to put that much chemical on my face.

I know I often ignore directions on beauty products because they all tell you to use their product 2 or 3 times a day, even if this would be detrimental to the condition of your skin. Quite frankly, I know companies want to sell their product to me and the fast I buy it, the more money they make.

The bottom line is this is a decent product but in order to get the promised results it’s going to be a bit of a hassle so you’re better off just covering it up like the rest of us!
