Pros:It makes my face feel fresh and clean right away. It's softer right away. Smell is ok. Didn't make my skin dry.
Cons:Doesn't really reduce pimples or size of pimples. Made my face really shiny. Didn't reduce redness.
Bottom Line:I've been using this product for about three weeks, and it hasn't really done anything besides make my face feel soft and clean. It does not do a good job of clearing acne.

Pros:This product really opens up your pores, and seemed to reduce a lot of the pimples I had. It also makes your skin softer.
Cons:It takes awhile to really work, and is for not as severe acne.
Bottom Line:They use a different acne treatment than proactive or some other products, proactive uses 5% Benzyol peroxide. This Neutrogena product only uses 2% Salicylic acid, and for me, benzyol peroxide is too harsh for my skin type, so Neutrogena works better for me.
This is better for people who don't have severe acne. It may seem to take awhile to work but it does really control your breakouts and keep your skin soft and healthy.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Feels nice and refreshing on my face. Helps reduce flares. Isn't so strong as to irritate skin, but strong enough to produce results.
Cons:Because of low intensity, seems like it takes a while to start working.
Bottom Line:Great product that should be used in conjunction with other things if you have mild to moderate acne. Like someone else said, if you're just looking to prevent breakouts, this could be your product.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Reviewer has used this item for a few months.
