Doesnt really get rid of already existing pimples but does the trick with oil remover.

Use it before school or work, use it at night. It's great

Pros:

Clears skin right up. I have virtually no pimples.

Cons:

Went about 2 weeks without using it because I forgot it at home. Skin broke out. But once I started using it again, my skin got better after one wash.
Almost threw up when using it when I had a hangover because it smelled too much like alcohol

My skin looks really good now and I never have to worry about wearing make up. Super recommend this!!!! Do it! :D

Cons:

makes my face quite dry, and triclosan..?

so far this isn't the best thing for me. i noticed that the medicinal ingredient is this stuff called "triclosan" and i've heard you should avoid using products with this in it. i don't know if i should stop using this cleanser because of it??

Pros:

I love the smell. It leaves my skin felling very fresh! After like 2 min my skin feels very soft. I am still using it to see if it clears up my skin. I would use this to wash 3 times a day.

Cons:

Do not get anywhere near the eye! Also it could take pretty long for your skin to clear up. Try not to put on the neck cause it could leave it a little itchy demending on your skin sensitivity.

Very cheap. Works if you want a soft feeling to your skin. May take a while using this product for your skin to clear up. But so far I would say for teenagers or pre-teen ages 12+ it can work really well. Also use nice hot water when you wash. Also drink lots of water and try to avode coffee or soda. That can also make your skin break out if you drink alot of it.

Cons:

-Made skin feel tight

-Made skin look oily

I bought this product with a toner and this product made my face feel terrible. It look very shiny and oily. My acne stayed the same and I still brokeout and really, nothing was done but made my face look like I had been sweating for hours.

Pros:

Pretty, distracting orange color

Cons:

MAKES YOU BREAK OUT.... and they just keep coming

I bought this facial wash in May of 2008 to use during a vacation, since I would be camping and hiking and sweating excessively.I experienced little to no breakouts during that time.Started using it before I left. Immediately I looked like I was back in 7th grade, with huge pimples popping up all over my jawline and chin. At first I was baffled because I didn't know what was causing them but then I realized it was the wash that was the culprit. I'm not a dermatologist but I believe it was the antibacterial agent in it that was bringing bad stuff I didn't know I had to the surface of my skin. Anyways, it's January 2009 and I have constantly had zits since the mere week last year I used that stuff. I've had to go back to the doctor to get my old junior high regimen of Retin-A and Septra. Don't buy this product!

Pros:

It smells good, like most facial cleansers. It immediately gets rid of oil, and you can literally feel it killing bacteria (the anti-bacterial type) as in it really stings (see below). It's affordable and easy to find.

Cons:

I don't usually have very sensitive skin, but the first time I used this, I was shocked at how much my face stung! Hot water makes it worse. It also dries out my skin really badly. You cannot use this while using other products; it is so strong.

I would suggest it to people with really bad acne and have no where else to turn. Others who wouldn't mind feeling pain, having irritated skin, having really dry, peeling skin, or breaking out in order to eventually reach clearer skin may want to try this product as well. I suppose you could try using smaller amounts of the product, and diluting it with water to make it work for your skin. Otherwise, try something with a higher strength than salicylic acid and a lower strength than triclosan (.25%) which is what is in the product.
