Pros:

This cleanser worked for about 2 weeks and then my skin was back to the way it has always been. It is great for sensitive skin and doesn't irritate it at all but it isn't clearing my acne. I recommend this product for someone that has very light acne

Cons:

Sometimes drys out skin but it isn't bad
Doesn't clear pimples

If you are trying to get rid of acne this product is not for you.

Pros:

Does exactly what it claims to, smell in unoffensive and light, cost is great [bought at Wal-mart] lasts for a very long time since little is needed for a good lather and wash, not harsh on the skin and doesn't burn or irritate even raw blemishes.

Cons:

Bottle is not travel friendly/ pump does not lock, gel is a bit thick so be sure to wet your face and hands well so it lathers nicely, can still be a teeny bit drying at times.

Works great, I recommend it over the Acne.org one simply because you do not need to order it online and it is significantly cheaper. I bought it because I ran out of the previous cleanser [Clearasil Acne Clearing Gel Wash, which works great as well but just became too drying for my skin after a while] I was using and lately my old one had been way too drying. This one said "sensitive skin" and was cheap, what a great whim I went on that day. I saw, and felt, immediate results after the first wash. When used in moderation and rinsed off thoroughly this stuff is the best. I doubt I will ever be changing again. :) Also my acne is mostly light but fluctuates to moderate form time to time. Works on both.

Pros:

cleanses face very well, smells fresh, helps reduce pimples/acne and redness,affordable

does dry sensitive skin a bit if used frequently

costs 3.00 at walmart, nothing else works, works well if followed with clean and clear astringent afterwards. i would reccomend it for sure!

Pros:

Cleans deep, doesn't leave residue, the fragrance is bearable, leaves skin feeling refreshed

Cons:

it can dry out skin sometimes, or cause breakouts where they weren't before. also, orange is an ugly colour..

i really like it, it clears up what little acne i have, and the bottle lasts a fair while!

Pros:

very gentle no nonsense cleanser

Cons:

not travel friendly

I have used this cleanser on and off for probably 5 or more years. I like how after I wash with it my face feels clean; not oily, or soapy, just clean. It's not the best makeup remover for stubborn mascara but it's decent compared to other cleaners. I always have to wrap it up in a ziploc bag when I travel because of it's pump spout. I never had a problem with it leaking but why risk it. I've tried numerous facial cleaners but always come back to this one.

Pros:

Did clear up some pimples

Cons:

caused my skin on my cheeks, upper lip and forehead to tighten and peel. NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH MILD ACNE

It was pretty good the first few times, i was using it once a day (half the recommended) by day three my skin was very sore and starting to peel (this is with even the oil-free skin cream that came in the multi pack). I use it now maybe once a week, the foaming is not good for people with combination skin (i only have pimples in my t-zone). Wouldn't recommend it to people that don't have a large amount of active pimples as it does not seem to prevent new ones any better than just washing your face with plain water. (well unless you want a heck of a lot of pain!)

Pros:

hmm...not much to put here. It doesnt leave a residue like bar soap can..thats it. =[ big bottle too.

Cons:

Made me break out on my temples and i just started washing my neck and this made me break out there too. It smells gross, but you do get used to it..i guess it kinda lasts forever almost...

I have heard it works well for young teens and others but i have had batter luck unfortunately. Its a huge bottle for me and its last like 2-3 months. Made me break out a lot even with perscriptions. Gonna try another Clean and Clear Product though..i like their brand =]

Pros:

cleans deeply, doesn't dry out skin, reduces redness around pimples.

Cons:

a little harsh on very sensitive skin.

I think this product works GREAT. I have some acne, and, though this doesn't completely get rid of all of my pimples, it reduced the look of them and I can go days with no makeup at all. It's a little harsh if your skin is sensitive, but after I few uses it all evens out and works fine.

Pros:

Leaves my skin feeling refreshed, swept away dead skin, reduced redness.

Cons:

Uhh none.

It worked pretty good on me. It didn't fully get rid of the acne it just reduced the redness and inflamation in my pores. I loved how it left my skin refreshed! I have ALOT of oil on my face and this product helped control it. As other people said it works on youngsters ( i'm 13). my parents even noticed how my acne was getting a lil bit better.(:
