smells good
reasonable amount for the price

Pros:I definitely break out less since I've been using this (once daily), and I've been VERY stressed out lately, which usually triggers breakouts for me. Also smells good (cucumber-y) and leaves skin very soft without being super irritating.
Cons:My skin is really sensitive so I get a little red from this and it hurts a little. Still, my skin seems to tolerate it pretty well.
Bottom Line:I'm 25 and have had moderately bad acne my whole life. I read a good review for this in a magazine so I tried it and it's definitely been working for me better than anything I've probably ever tried. It's also not burning my sensitive skin off, which is also a rarity. It definitely does (for me) what it says--prevents acne before it starts. It also helps clear acne when you have it, naturally. It seems like it only works for some people, but it's cheap enough to give it a try. Even if it doesn't end up clearing your acne, it's a good exfoliator.

Pros:This product smells great, and really cleans my skin well. It helps get rid of all the dead skin, because of the microbeads in it, but doesn't clog pores.
Cons:Difficult for me to find in stores.
Bottom Line:I searched long and hard to find a product that worked for my acne. I had mild-moderate, with about 5-10 zits at a time. I use the scrub twice a day, and it has dramatically cleared up the acne, and now I am left with a few pimples here and there, and the red marks left over.

Overall, this is a great product. It seems to work for some people more than others, so I would try it...it can't hurt. I love this product!

Pros:not all that expensive
Cons:didn't do anything for my breakouts. which makes me wonder why Neutrogena always comes out with new products. Obviously their products arent working, that's why. Just like this one did nothing for me.
Bottom Line:It seemed like it work for some people, which is great. but for me it didn't. I have oily acne prone skin with blackheads, it did not work.
Recommended:No

Pros:immediately worked for my bad break out
doesn't irritate my sensitive skin
you can see a difference after the first us
Cons:none!
Bottom Line:I bought the cream wash of this and the scrub came in a little bottle for free. So i started using the scrub at night and the cream in the morning. the scrub does NOT irritate my very sensitive and i swear my face began clearing right after i washed my face with it.

it's the first product that continues to work for me

my friends use it too and it works for them as well!
