Pros:

It smelled really nice and lathered really well, the first few days it worked great!

Cons:

Made my sensitive skin break out in an irritatingly itchy rash after 3 days

I was excited to try a new face wash and spent 15 min staring at an isle in target. Spotting this on the shelf I read through the back and compared different cleansers. I used it for 2 days and on the third my skin got really itchy, I thought it nothing but dry skin since I was starting to use a new cleanser but the next day my face was still itchy and lotion wasn't helping. I went online and found that other people had the same problem. The same day my face swelled. I have sensitive skin so this might not apply to you but just a warning it made me break out in a rash.

Pros:

-Smells wonderful, like a freshly squeezed grapefruit
-Contains 2% salicylic acid
-It's a cream cleanser, so it's great if you have dry or combination skin
-Clears up breakouts fast

Cons:

-A little expensive, but fairly cheap compared to other things like Proactiv and stuff
-Stings the slightest bit, but that's how you know it's working

I had been using Clean and Clear Morning Burst for a while, but when I realized it wasn't clearing up my skin at all, I found out it had no salicylic acid in it. Well, you can imagine how dumb I felt. But seriously, who makes a facial cleanser with no acne fighting ingredients? So I went to the store to get something else that would actually work. I decided to try some classic Neutrogena cleanser, and I decided to get a cream cleanser because the foaming cleansers always dried out my skin. I also decided to get the pink grapefruit, because who doesn't like something that smells good? It didn't make my skin movie-star clear, but definitely clearer than it ever has been. I think I finally found the stuff that works for me!

Pros:

REVIEWING THE GRAPEFRUIT BODY WASH, NOT FACE WASH!!

-Smells yummo compared to other stuff
-Lathers really well
-Clears up/dries/lightens/flattens acne (gotta apply liberally and let it sit a min before washing off!!), albeit impermanently (if used irregularly)
-Skin feels HELLA clean

Cons:

-Dries out skin (not the point of flakiness)
-Impermanent fix (will not solve your body acne problems for life, but good product to keep part of a regime to maintain your acne situation)
-Beads don't really burst, their casing is too thick, they're supposed to contain Vitamin C, which is GREAT for skin, but they never pop (trust me, I tried with fingers)

Will not solve your body acne problems for life. BUT, great for body acne management. Been using it off and on for years now, use it religiously every night, it really has helped maintain my body acne situation (I work out every day and wear pretty tight spandexy clothing, my body skin is super sensitive to this and the wash has helped soothe the skin and take care of irritation-related body acne). It has 2% salicylic acid, which is the highest concentration I've seen on store shelves. Does dry your body skin out a bit, especially if you scrub, but lotion can remedy that (St. Ive's Oatmeal Soothing body lotion is GOLD, oatmeal is a major soothing ingredient, makes my wayward body skin feel like BUTTER like 30 min - 1 hour after application, not even exaggerating). Tried to use it on my face as I waited for my Proactiv to arrive. I don't have acne on my face, except for a bit of uneven-ness and a stubborn spot or two. The body wash is obv. too drying/thick for the face BUT it even helped there a bit, smoothing the texture out and brightening me up. I read somewhere (possibly on this website) that in order for BP to best absorb and treat, oil must be removed from the skin, well salicylic acid does just that! Wash with this first, then apply your BP and you should have a double-whammy body acne regime!

Pros:

-Made my skin very soft afterwards.
-Smells great.
-Made oily areas cleaner.
-Didn't irritate the skin.
-Didn't cost all that much.

Cons:

-The beads inside hurt a bit.

This is a pretty good product if you have oily skin. I just started using it so i'm not for sure if it actually clears the acne all that well.
