| Pros | None. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Although it says 'fragrance-free' it smelt.. and it smelt bad, at that. It felt thick and oily on the skin, and it actually gave me more pimples. Such a waste of my money. |
| Bottom line | Worst cleanser I've ever used, bad, triggered more pimples, doesn't perform the job it is supposed to. It just creates more pimples. |
| Recommended | No |
| Price paid | $12.00 |
| Acne severity | light |

| Pros | extremely gentle, non-drying , easy to use |
|---|---|
| Cons | not a makeup remover if you wear makeup |
| Bottom line | I love using this cleanser with BP. BP dries up my skin therefore I am not going to wash my face with some harsh cleanser which will make my combination skin extremely dry. |
| Recommended | Yes |
| Price paid | $8.00 |
| Acne severity | light |

| Pros | Non irritating. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Over time left my face kind of gummy - not sure if was really getting it clean. |
| Bottom line | This just didn't agree with me. Know about it not stripping your face, and all that, but don't really think it got it clean enough. I do agree with those who felt that this left a film on the skin. It could just be that the film was because it wasn't getting it clean -- after watching blackheads increasing on my forehead I switched to Purpose liquid- which I'm currently loving. |

| Pros | Doesn't irritate my skin, reduces irritated bumps. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Is a little pricey, but has cleared my skin up more than anything else. |
| Bottom line | I bought this product on the basis that when you scrub your skin with an acne cleanser that removes oil and causes drying, your skin produces more oil to compensate and causes your skin to be more irritated and you breakout more. (This information coming from my dermatologist.) He recommended this or Cetaphil (which I haven't had much luck with) so I went with the Neutrogena. I can't say that this product has CLEARED my acne, but overall my skin tone looks more even, and when I do have acne, the bumps are less irritated and red-looking. |

| Pros | -fragrance free -non-drying/irritating -great prep for medication/moisturizing |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I have unbelievably sensitive skin- I break out in itchy bumps when I sweat, am allergic to common cosmetic ingredients, (talc, bismuth) and avobenzone sunscreen burns my skin. This stuff kicks some serious butt. I hated Cetaphil,(regular and oily) Purpose, and Eucerin Redness Relief. I rub jojoba oil on my face and let sit for 10ish minutes before wiping it off and using NEGC. I then use topical medication. Depending on the medication, I will use either an AHA moisturizer or my Neutrogena oil free moisture for sensitive skin. My skin is sooooo soft. |

| Pros | -Very Gentle -Great For Removing Makeup -Unscented |
|---|---|
| Cons | None that I've found so far... Kind of unrelated con is that the pump broke on it when I accidentally pulled off the top, although that doesn't effect how the product itself works. |
| Bottom line | I had been using salyclic acid acne wash, and I kept getting really huge red rash type things on my face without the acne going away. I switched to this and I no longer get the redness, and my skin is no longer dry and flaky. I use this with BP cream, and my acne is a lot better. I use a moisturizer with this too, but unless you get really dry skin you probably wouldn't need it. |

| Pros | Doesn't dry out skin, cleanses skin well,leaves skin soft. |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | This product is great, it has a lotion texture and it startled me at first, but no worries about that anymore. I haven't broke out from this and those winter flaky's have gone away. I really like this! |

| Pros | I guess it helped the dryness of my combo skin a little although I did not see a marked improvement |
|---|---|
| Cons | I dislike the consistency it feels worse than rubbing lotion on my face and my face definatly broke out from it. |
| Bottom line | May work for some with the use of the BP. Didn't dry out my skin but, didn't feel nice either. |
| Recommended | No |
| Price paid | $5.67 |

| Pros | Great for sensitive or dry skin!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | The pump sucks. Mine didn't work at all so I took one from a Neut. Acne Wash bottle, cleaned it, and used that. |
| Bottom line | It does what it advertises: it gives moisture back to skin without irritating it. I like the lotion-mixed-with-cleanser texture. It also smells really nice! Since my face has been improving and I've been wearing less makeup it removes it all. |
