My review:


      I bought this product along with clean and clear's persa 10 treatment. I'm a fan of clean and clear and would recommend to almost anyone to at least give them a try but this product, didn't work for me.  I've found that it DID do its main purpose;  fight acne. however with the problems I've had with it it's just not worth it in the end. The persa 10 is a completely different story however so I'll be writing a review on that as well. For now I'll start with this cleanser though.


    The reason I use cleansers is to help fight acne.Benzoyle peroxide works amazing when it comes to doing that so I figured why not try this. My biggest problem with this cleanser is that is dries out my skin incredibly. If you use this product DO NOT attempt to use it without a moisturizer. I didn't juse one and my skin at first was jsut flakey, but in the end it had become red, irritated and even wrinkled/cracked in some places. I quit use of this and ocntinued use of the persa 10 thinking it was jsut because of the fact I used them together. Later on I decieded to try this cleanser again, without the persa 10 and my skin had once again became dry. This cleanser is VERY drying, thought it does do a GREAT job at getting rid of acne.


     Another thing is the feeling you get after using it. At first it feel refreshing and clean but it starts to sting and hurt after a while. It's a unpleasent feeling and in the end I didn't think it was worth th.e stinging and dryness to get rid of my acne so I stuck with the persa 10 and dropped this one.


    If you have dry or combination skin I would never recommend this product. If you have oily skin and think it might be worth a try then I'm not going to say don't. This product DOES do what it's supposed to, but it's unpleasant while doing so.
