| Pros | Once I started using this product my breakout across my chin cleared up and no other pimples have returned..which is usually what happens. |
|---|---|
| Cons | May not remove all your makeup if you kind of wear a lot. You'll have to combine with another product like a makeup removing wipe. |
| Bottom line | It works! I wash my face with this in the morning and at night before bed. After that I put some witch hazel on a cotton swab and apply all over my face, then once that drys I apply a spot treatment of 2.5% Benzoil peroxide on the area where breakouts usually occer. Once a day I exfoliate with a gentle scrub ( don't scrub your face like crazy... lightly rub) before this whole process. |

| Pros | gentle cleanses well/removes makeup softens didn't break me out |
|---|---|
| Cons | annoying smell (even though it says fragrance free?) contains parabens (but what doesn't these days) |
| Bottom line | I really like this stuff, its very lotiony which I'm not used to for cleansers. I use Cetaphil too when Im visiting my moms, and this stuff is a little heavier. Im not too picky when it comes to cleansers because they go down the drain in like 10 seconds! Overall I use this off and on and never have any breakouts and my face feels smooth and moisturized. |

| Pros | My skin feels softer It doesn't sting |
|---|---|
| Cons | I have broken out a bit |
| Bottom line | The cleanser doesn't sting. However, I have broken out in small pimples in areas that I usually don't have much acne. This could be because I have only used it a few times. I am going to try it again but not every night. |

| Pros | Does not dry out skin, No tight feeling after washing, Very gentle. Works well on oily/ sensitive skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I have combination skin, and this stuff works awesome! I apply one pump directly to skin and massage in for 1 minute. after a minute i add a little water to my finger tips and massage for another 30 seconds, then do a final rise with warm water and then i pat my skin dry. This stuff is awesome you can rub it into your eyes to remove mascara and it does not sting at all! Every 3rd day i use a washcloth at night to exfoliate and my skin is super soft! I highly recommend this product because your skin is not suppose to be tight after washing! And this leaves your skin normal and hydrated. If you do still feel you need moisture the Garnier moisture rescue GEL works great for combination skin with this cleanser! |

| Pros | it is really good for day to combination skin good at healing acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | kinda expensive to teenagers |
| Bottom line | i am suffering from serious breakouts for a month, and everyday after i go to school, my whole forehead is like itchy and full of red acne, but i just use it for two days, and is swear i see a difference , my redness are gone and the acne is less itchy. Actually i try this product before, but after i used it up, i think it is too expensive so i didn't use it again, but somehow it is the best cleanser i have used |

| Pros | My skin feels really soft after using this. No harsh odor, very easy to use. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None! |
| Bottom line | I have very sensitive skin, so whenever I used any form of face wash I would always break out and/or my skin would dry out horribly. However, I decided to give this one a try and I'm extremely happy with this product! It doesn't dry out my skin, and my face hasn't had any negative reaction to it! Will definitely be using this from now on. |

| Pros | Very moisturizing, skin feels extremely soft, doesn't irritate my skin, very gentle, clogged pores are coming to a head/clearing most likely because I'm no longer stripping my skin with SA products and scrubbers. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stung my skin at first, but face is getting used to it. |
| Bottom line | I was under an extraordinary amount of stress last year which caused my face to erupt. I've been using products with SA in them and they were stripping my skin, causing even more oil production and clogged pores. I've never had a problem with my skin, so of course this was all very devastating. I began searching for a new lotion and came across Neutrogena products; I wanted something that would not aggravate my extremely sensitive skin but that would get it clean and moisturize it. I do believe I've found that in this cleanser. I've been using this for 4 days and already see a marked improvement in my skin. My pores are closed or reduced, clogged pores are becoming unclogged, my skin looks brighter and feels like butter. It saddens me to think that, if I had done a bit of research last year, I could have nipped my acne in the bud, but I appreciate this product so much more now that I have struggled with my skin. I'm excited to see the improvements in my skin as I continue using the product. Oh, I'm also using the alcohol free toner as well as the oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin. |

| Pros | - VERY gentle - Cleanses well without completely drying out skin (like medicated cleansers tend to do) or leaving a residue - Fragrance free (there is some smell but I like it) |
|---|---|
| Cons | None! |
| Bottom line | Some people complain that this feels more like lotion than a cleanser but I love this smell and texture (The Cetaphil cleansersmelled too harsh and was too liquid-y for my taste). My face does sometimes feel dry after washing but this is because I use a lot of BP and washing away the moisturizer makes my face feel dry. Sometimes my face looks very pale afterwards but I've learned that those are dead skin cells and I gently wipe them off with a tissue when my face is still damp. I've been using this cleanser as part of the DK regimen and my skin is completely clear (I put that my acne is light but that was before I got on the regimen, four weeks ago). |

| Pros | Nice texture |
|---|---|
| Cons | My skin stung while using it, and made my skin break out waaay more than usual. (Read bottom line to see why). |
| Bottom line | I used SpectroGel before I used this product, and Spectro was also extra gentle on my skin. The Spectro worked great, but I decided to give this a try. However the Spectro was so gentle that my skin got accustomed to it, so when I used this porduct, although it is supposed to be gentle, it stung my skin quite a bit (every time I used it; even a month later). And it made me break out, a lot. Before I used this, I used to get around 3-5 pimples a week, now I am having a lot, lot more. But again, it all depends on your skin type so give it a try. |
