Comments from users

"I have had excellent results with this product and use it every night, even if my skin is clear because I find not only does this treat my adult acne but minimizes pore size and prevents so well my skin is clear."
Excerpt form a customer review on drugstore.com

"Clearasil Ultra promises clearer skin in three days. That did not happen. Almost two weeks later, I still do not notice a positive difference in the areas I tend to break out...This is very disappointing to me."
Excerpt from a consumer review on epinions.com

"This stuff is STRONG. Horribly strong. It stains terribly...my towels became a nightmare. The stains would appear within 48 hours or so, but not immediately...Basically, it has something of a bleaching effect."
Excerpt from a consumer review on epinions.com

"This stuff is REPULSIVE. Sure, it reduces oil in your t-zone area. But it sure doesn't reduce anything else!...Not to mention, the terrible odor and greasy fake-looking tint."

Our Opinion

Testimonials from users are mixed, although the negative ones are more common. Basically, this product works on a few but seemed to be too strong for most. One of the most common complaints is the tint, which allegedly acts as bleach and changes the color of clothes, towel, the hair and other things it comes in contact with. The packaging looks good, though.

Our Verdict

Probably not worth the risk. The three-day result guarantee is just too much. You know what they say, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Besides, if we want to change our hair color, we wouldn't really be buying an acne treatment to achieve that, right? Particularly if you have sensitive skin, stay away from this product.
