Pros Smells good
Helps prevent most breakouts
Cons Doesn't do much for current breakouts
Bottom line I started using this a few months ago, and for the most part I haven't got much acne. However, sometimes I still do break out, and when I do this doesn't help very much.

Pros Fast acting
Cons None
Bottom line So glad I tried this cleanser! It actually keeps my face sooo much clearer! I use the cream cleaner in the morning( it is the only cleanser that has the glycolic acid in it) which is very good for your skin and I use the power-gel cleanser at night because it takes your makeup off better and foams up for that clean feeling! I also use the 3-in-1 hydrating treatment. I have searched and searched for something to clear up my skin! I feel so much better about myself.. You've got to try it! I have very sensitive skin and it's works great on my skin! I hope this never gets discontinued!

Pros Slightly cleared my acne.
Slight cooling sensation.
Exfoliating beads.
Gel consistency.
Cons Didn't completely get rid of my acne.
A bit pricey.
Bottom line My skin is very unusual. I have acne on my cheeks, forehead, and chin. Everytime I introduce a new product to my skin, the product reduces some of my acne, but my skin eventually builds up an "immunity" to it and my acne returns. Because of this, I have to rotate my skin care products every few weeks. This is exactly what happened with this face wash. It was gradually decreasing my acne, but within a month, my acne returned. But this product is not over drying. It smells a bit like a minty cucumber, but it is pleasant. It runs out fairly quickly, it's only been a month but I'm already down to 1/3 of the bottle. If you have a lot of stress or stress pimples, I would recommend this to you. When. I was using this, I had a lot of stress. I usually break out SEVERELY when Im stressed, even at the most miniscule things. But this product kept my stress pimples at bay. Only a few small brief pimples appeared. Overall, if you have the time, energy and money to burn, I suggest trying this out.

Pros *is definitely fast acting(overnight for me
* didn't dry out or irritate my skin
* my acne Is practically gone!!!
* doesn't lie when it says stops acne before it starts I haven't had any breakouts
Cons * kinda expensive for the amount you get but I'll never buy anything else! It's awesome
Bottom line For 7 bucks your getting more then ur money's worth. I have mild acne and sometimes it's breakout after breakout but this stuff has stopped them. I've only been on it for a week or so but it has completely cleared upy skin except for a occasional pimple. And Im one of those people who has tried everything and everything over and over and nothig works. This stuff has totally surprised me and I'm so happy I finally found something that gets rid of my pimples fast and hopefully forever!

Pros Good smell
Tingly Clean
Sloughs off dry skin
Cleared up forehead bumps
Cons Need to rinse really well
Lip breakout
Bottom line For six dollars I feel like I got my money's worth. After investing in a $36 skinceuticals scrub wash, and seeing no improvement, I decided to have fun and try a cheap one.

It isn't a cure-all but I am happy with the results so far. After 2 weeks use I have noticed the small bumps on my forehead have gone down. Acne around my lip has been more (but could be due to hormones).

I once learned that forehead acne is from stress, chin from hormones and cheeks from nutrition/food intolerance.

Pros works overnight
makes skin soft
doesn't dry out skin
doesn't smell bad
Cons you must use it constantly or else breakouts will return
Bottom line I bought this product a few days ago with breakouts all over my nose starting to combine with the breakouts on my cheeks and forehead. I really needed a product that would work fast before my acne got severe. I saw the commercial for Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Gel and I stress all the time so I thought mabey this would work. The first night I used it I saw no difference mabey it was even worse. The next night almost all of it was gone and my skin looked great! I will defiantly continue to use this!

Pros -Exfoliates
-Doesn’t smell too bad
-Doesn’t irritate skin
-Clears acne pretty well
-“cool’ feeling
Cons -If you use too much, dry skin
-Irritates eyes
-must use consistently
Bottom line I am 16 years old and have had acne ranging from light to severe since I was around 12. This product was one of the few acne treatments available from Stop And Shop. I bought it, and it seemed to work just as much as the other products I’ve used. It definitely reduced redness and pimple size, and I believe it helps fade scars as well, but I use it with an oil free moisturizer afterward. The combination of the two products leaves my skin soft and pimple free.

I can only give this product 4/5 stars, however, due to the fact that it does not completely eliminate acne, and doesn’t seem to help blackheads or whiteheads. I use it once a day. Any more, and my skin becomes flaky and irritated.
If I forget to wash my skin for a few days, my light/moderate acne returns to its moderately severe state.

The bottle also doesn’t contain much product, which is a problem, because when it runs out. the acne returns and you must buy more,and its expensive!!!
