Pros:It smells good, like most facial cleansers. It immediately gets rid of oil, and you can literally feel it killing bacteria (the anti-bacterial type) as in it really stings (see below). It's affordable and easy to find.
Cons:I don't usually have very sensitive skin, but the first time I used this, I was shocked at how much my face stung! Hot water makes it worse. It also dries out my skin really badly. You cannot use this while using other products; it is so strong.
Bottom Line:I would suggest it to people with really bad acne and have no where else to turn. Others who wouldn't mind feeling pain, having irritated skin, having really dry, peeling skin, or breaking out in order to eventually reach clearer skin may want to try this product as well. I suppose you could try using smaller amounts of the product, and diluting it with water to make it work for your skin. Otherwise, try something with a higher strength than salicylic acid and a lower strength than triclosan (.25%) which is what is in the product.

Pros:Reduced Oiliness, and it made me clear up. Plus I got it cheap.
Cons:Dried out skin. Not to bad, just made my face feel kinda tight.
Bottom Line:It did help clear me up. I used to have terrible acne, and now it's not to bad. But I've been using it for 2 months and I'm not satisfied. I'd recommend something else.

Pros:i was on antibiotics but couldn't afford to continue them so i decided to try an anti-bacterial face wash and this works great--face feels very clean, really great for my oily/combination skin, plus it's cheap
Cons:if you don't have oily skin it might dry your face out. also if you use a moisturizer with salicylic acid your skin could get really irritated at first from all the different products (i've been using so many for so long that my skin's tough now)
Bottom Line:cheap, works better than salicylic acid (which has NEVER worked for me) on moderate to severe acne, which is usually caused due to bacteria and not stress or simply clogged pores. stings for a bit and might dry your skin out at first (so invest in a good exfoliater) but is effective if you're panicking and have nowhere else to turn!

Pros:Your skin feels really clean after immediate use...like, squeeky clean almost. It doesn't stain anything and it doesn't make your skin look irritated after use.
Cons:If you miss a spot when you're rinsing it, it's really sticky...also with me the pump broke easily and I had to pour the product into my hand to use it.
Bottom Line:I would use it if you have really oily skin such as myself, but then after I would use a medicated cleansing pad or cream for treatment.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:LaQuesha has used this item for about a month.
Acne severity:light
