    Everytime I put on sunscreen my face burns and I end up running to wash it off.... which, by the way, takes a pretty long time. So I was extremely pleased when my face didn't have any negative reactions to the cream. The problem was that before I would go to school I would jump in the shower, get dressed, and then apply the cream. Unfortunately the cream is white and noticable and my "toothpaste" excuse didn't exactly work on the top of my forehead. I then had to switch to using the cream at night which didn't show as much results during the day. Still my face was noticably clearer! PROS: Works quickly and shows results within two days. CONS: Sometimes triggers dry skin... also leaves red splotches if you try to wash away... I had to cover it up with makeup, teehee.

    I wouldn't recommend clearasil products. They clear your face for a few days but make your face even worse. You'll be uglier than ever. That's happening to me now.

    After trying a number of anti-acne products, I was amazed at how well this cream worked on my skin. Contrary to what many past reviewers claimed--that the product worked best on oily skin, I have combination skin, and it works like a dream. However, I probably wouldn't smear it on three times per day as advised because like all anti-acne creams, it will dry your skin out. I stumbled on this cream by accident. My sister bought it last year, then found it just recently. I started using it, and I saw results the very next day. It was awesome! By the end of the week, my skin cleared up considerably. Now I'm pretty much zit free. Combating adult acne is not fun, and luckily, Clearsil came to the rescue. Plus, it's moderately priced (approx. $8 per tube). Beats the cost of the Pro-Activ skin care set, which didn't help me one bit. I highly recommend Clearsil's cream as a more effective and cost-saving alternative.

    It's a very good product, particularly for people with really oily skin. I only use it at night, however, because it can dry out your skin, especially if you use it in the day. The Sun and Benzyol Peroxide don't mix.

    I guess it's ok, but it burns the spots where I place it. I guess my face is just too sensitive. I like to get samples of Differin Gel...because THAT works really well!

    clearsil is a really good product! but only if you haev super oily skin (like myself).you just dab in on the spot [pimple] and rub it in [you should still be able to see the white a little]. i only use it every other nite and daily [ like in the after noon]only one problem...i have sensitive skin and every time i put it on my eyes inflame and turn red...so i usually use it on my back or chest

    Clearisil is the only thing I've ever found to actually work, and believe me, I've used A LOT of different things on my face. However... 1.) This stuff is great if you have oily skin. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it for daily use. You could probably use it with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil, however. 2.) That being said, DON'T use it with strong soaps like Neutrogena, at least not everyday. Again, I have rather oily skin, and this combination destroyed my face. 3.) I said earlier Clearisil is the only thing out there that works (as far as OTC stuff goes). This is true...but I've been using it since I was about 12. I'm 19. And I still have acne. So yes, Clearisil works better than everything else out there, but it's not a miracle product. In short, it's the only product to have any significant positive impact on my acne.

    I like this because a lot of people (me included) only have zits in one or two places on their face. With Clearasil, you only need to put it on the places where your'e having problems, not all over your face. That way it doesn't overly dry out your skin.It alos works a lot faster than soem other stuff I've used. Don't use it every day though, or it'll make your skin really irritates.

    I'm 34 and thank God I don't have much of a problem in this area anymore. However, I used to have a moderate problem with acne and I tried this stuff. It burned my face and left big red whelps all over. My face looked better with the acne than with this stuff. I guess I had the wrong skin type for this, by I suggest you use very small amounts until you are sure it won't burn you like it did me.

    Works great. Dont use often, or it will briefly dry skin. Worked great other than that

    AThese things work like CRAP on zits b/c it makes them even BIGGER!!!! it also totally dries out your skin. However, it works ok to control oil so i use it on my T-zone.

    Okay, it works. But after you put it on you get a spot on your skin that stays for like three days because it dries out your skin. A good thing is that it comes tinted and that helps to cover the red spots.

    Good for everyday use. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it even if I use it a lot. Seems to diminish the red marks left after zits a lot faster than other products.

    If I use this when I have a blemish it doesn't go away. It smells gross too.

    This cream works great, especially overnight. It doesn't dry out my skin, but it clears my skin. It also doesn't smell, so it's safe for people with sensitive skin.

    I use this every morning and night, basically. I have oily skin so it helps regulate it a bit. It really dries out your skin if you use it too much in one area. This product works for me.

    This blemish cream comes in a small tube. It is magic in a tube. It helps fight acne faster than any other product I have tried. It's even good for people who tend to have sensitive skin, like myself.

    I like this product because it's very effective. If I have a blemish it'll go away after about three treatments with the cream. The only thing I don't like about it is that sometimes the cream can irritate my skin because it's so strong.

    Doesn't dry up skin. Doesn't irritate sensitive skin. Clears up skin fast!

    Thank the good lord above but it's been along time since I've needed to use a product of this sort. But boy did I get some monsters back in the day. So call it branding or whatever but Clearasil was always the first kind of acne cream I'd reach for, that or maybe Oxy10. I can't really say the cover up cream ever really helped I mean it just looked like I had a small silly putty colored paste spot on my face which in itself is a huge giveaway about what was really going on so I just used the clear cream instead. In terms fixing the problem.. it seemed to work okay but it's not a magic wand cure, and would still take a couple of days.
